		My car is booked in for the second week in jan to have a full longlife exhaust made. I've got to let him know what I want by the end of this week so that he can order the parts but I'm stuck big time. 
I've decided on how I want it to sound so there's. I problem there. Problem is what tail pipe?!?!
They have about 50-60 different ones to choose from on their site and I've narrowed it down to these.....I think
 
![[Image: ee4a4202.jpg]](http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll257/niallharper/ee4a4202.jpg) 
2.5" 
![[Image: 73da9286.jpg]](http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll257/niallharper/73da9286.jpg) 
3.0"
![[Image: 9bd69742.jpg]](http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll257/niallharper/9bd69742.jpg) 
3.0"
I really can't picture any of them on my car so if anyone has any pics of same or similar exhausts, that would be great! I don't want to have my bumper hacked to pieces so I'm not going to get some stupid 8" jap waste paper bin on the back!
Help!

		As what Matt said, rolled in looks so much better than rolled out. Id go for a 3-4" rolled in tip with a straight cut, none of this slash shaped rubbish.
Remember the std cut out will take a 5 inch pipe comfortably so 3" or less looks small IMO

		X2 on the inward rolled 3 and a half to 4" tip.. It will fill the cut out nicely without going over the top

		I do prefer the look of the rolled in. Luckily the rolled in is the standard so you dont have to pay any extra.
Anyone know what size the standard pug sports tip is? At a guess it will be 3 but it's ovalish so looks like it fills the bumper a bit better

		The outward rolled looks like the pug sports for the 106s and I always thought they looked quite good but still not sure. So bloody indecisive!!

		mines 4" outward rolled but id go for 3-4 inward rolled. 4 sits better in the cutout than 3 though

		I'd go for a 3.5" inward rolled.
Or if you want the rally look, mandrel bent 45* pointing down. Hardcore.

		Unfortunately longlife don't do mandrel bends so they don't look brilliant. 
Also tempted to get them to cut the tip off my exhaust and put that on there. Do like the standard one they give you though.
