I don't understand what's going on here

the man just wants his exhaust tips enlongated and then there's people saying get a full new exhaust?

As long as no mufflers are touched, making exhaust tips longer will make minute difference, if any to the sound of the exhaust.

Am i correct to assume stock exhaust = quiet? if so, will make no difference to sound. Only as long as the mufflers are left as is and just the last pipes are extended.

You've never seen a sexy Hyundai or Honda with a cannon have you? Of course the tip makes a difference to sound, it sounds terrible! The tip of the exhaust on a stock exhaust is a type of muffler, if you change that muffler without changing the exhaust it sounds like absolute shite! Victor said he wants to change the tips, hence going to sound terrible. You can't get aftermarket tips for cheap that are going to sound good, high quality mufflers are expensive. If you're going to spend that money getting a tip welded on and your exhaust extended, you might as well go whole hog and get an amazing quality exhaust that sounds like Pamela Anderson on full scream.

only wants the extend it, what, an inch, no difference, if you don't want a full exhaust(Kermit is the man on that one), just buy the tip you want, go to a small exhaust shop, and ask them to put it on, if it takes them more then 10 mins, there's something wrong. shouldn't cost much to do. Either that or make friends with a welder :D

A++++++++++++++ for Kermit, what a fkn champ :D such sexy welds and nice sound to boot

Ok.

Sorry guys. I am abit confused now, with some saying crap sound and some no difference. I probably call Kermit on this before deciding on it.

Yes, I just want to extend an inch and maybe, change the tips to abit bigger stainless steel type. I can asure if Kermit also agree that it will sound crap, I won't do it. I rather save up and get a full system.

I am not after any sound or power improvement as I only drive it on weekends for relaxing cruise. Plus, if I get asked by an offier what exhaust system I have, I don't want to say it's aftermarket at this stage.

Thanks, guys for all the replies. I learn new things everytime on SAU. :)

Neither :)

Ok.

I just thought of asking because I've seen it twice already.

that may be me, are you sure it wasnt white?

I am sure it's silver. A gentleman with beard driving it.

He never said he wanted a CANON on it just an extension to clear his rear bar which any exhaust shop or kermit could do in 5 minutes thats why i say get off ya arse and do it as it won't make any difference to the sound

put up pics of how it is atm!

if it sits in i say extend it as cheap as you can to suit your body kit. just get it cut from behind ur muffler/before ur cat and extended with its current width pipe -ie 2.5" etc

i saw a *sigh* 2 door rice car yesterday i cant remember what it was but it was like a mighty boy equivelant in a car, it was fully kitted up and the rear bar was made for twin exhaust but he only had a single! looked so stupid!

Fair enough, my mistake. I thought when you said you wanted to put a stainless or chrome tip on it you meant more than just extending the stock exhaust. Yeh if all you want to do is extend the pipe a little bit so the exhaust sits further out then it won't make a difference to sound.

That's all right, Martin. My mistake as well, I should have made it clearer.

I was busy last night with friends. Hopefully, I will post the photo up tonight.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
