Default My new cobra backbox

Soooo my first mod today...

...firstly massive thanks to Pete at ExhaustsUK for top service, product, and for the scoobynet discount!

Recieved it today, 3" bore, 4.5" slash cut tailpipe, upwards and outwards angled.

Fitted at work this afternoon, fitment was spot on and it sounds great!! Gives a great rumble, louder than i was expecting for just a backbox too!!

Heres a couple of snaps

Looks nice, but is it hanging a little low under the rear bumper or is it just me

I like it, but as said in previous post it does look to be hanging a bit low. Steve.

Looks ok that but bend the hangers out a bit. It hangs a little too low off the rear bumper

Cheers for the comments.....yeh i thought that when i looked at this pics myself! however when i actually go and look at it it doesnt seem as bad as it looks in the above pics?!

Maybe just the camera angle exaggerating things....

Ill have another look tomo and maybe tweak the hangers if i feel its needed!

Thanks

makes the car look 10 times better than the twin pea shooter pipes on before! Love the angle of the exhaust too!

Not sure what the next thing from my list to do will be, as im trying to get some savings back together again first, so trying not to let myself get too carried away lol....

Had a couple of parking dents in the passenger front door which i had tapped out by the dent removal guy that comes round at work today, only cost me £20 so was quite chuffed with that

Not massively keen on the small little spoiler, so i wouldnt mind swapping that for an STi wing at some stage...

nice cheap mod is some silver rear indicator bulbs, smartens rear up no end. front detango is also good, but I never plucked up the courage to do it, but both are good mods that cost little other than time.
