Toucan Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 As the title says, I'm on the lookout for a new exzorst system, I'm getting a cheap coby for my middle muffler along with new piping but havent decided on what I should have hanging out the end, post a pic of your muffler, I need some inspiration. What do you think would look good on a mk2 escort in ford sweet cream? Oh yea, prices too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 the same as mine ... i fat BLACK 3inch pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 What do you think would look good on a mk2 escort in ford sweet cream?Oh yea, prices too A couple of stainless tips dumping out behind the rear wheels? Better yet, a Lakeside pipe. OK, so they wouldn't look tremendously good... but it would be funny, and I could have a bit of a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Haha, yea would certainly look funny, if it wasnt my car I dont want the rice cannon look, has to look reasonably good/suit the escort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Get a 2½" Oval straight through muffler and get the exhaust place to weld a section of 2½" mandrel bent pipe on so it slightly points downward, like a dumpy but not as shiny, large and ghey cannon looking.

Thats kinda what I was thinking, I dont want it to spoil the period styling of the scrot, so something subtle like that might be the go. Cheers for the pic jerm, I like the black ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slight browny grey of your pipe is usually indicative of avgas burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thought thats what you were looking at.. nah that was almost brand new exhaust and i just put the engine in and had the standard jets from a 1600 auto, was running lean as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushrod Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yep go for something like jerms his looks really good and you could put a chrome tip on it if you felt the need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I think a 3" tip is a scratch too much on a Escwhoret, 2½" would suit the size of the car nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yea I agree, dont want it to drown out my awesome induction noise. And 3" on a 1600 pushie is overkill, for me anyway. Keep the pics coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerm Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 shut up.. it looks bad ! it is just a tip though.. the rest is 2" ... i'm not that dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deaf_rattle Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 dont want to make anyone jealous with my top quality muff but here is a nice ass shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esky boi Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Go for one of those dumpy mufflers, or else a 2.5-3" tip, but no bigger than 3" on an eskie I reckon. I have a 2.5" pipe straight through from the extractors with one semi baffeled sports muffler halfway through, goes well and sounds wickard!! btw Im loving your skyline kyteler *drools* looks so sexy in that pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 From that angle you can unfortunately see where the tip connects to the muffler, but when standing, it looks pretty damn good. The droop of the tip follows the same angle as the rear quarter, so it fits really nicely with the style of the car EDIT: Oh yeah the tip there is a 2.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
