Default Can you angle a straight Blitz Nur Spec

Hi guys,

After having a blitz on my car for 6 months or so I have decided that it would look better angled. The older model blitz used to be angled rather than straight exit.

I currently have the centre pipe taped to the original downpipe. What I have noticed is that the centre section is quite low to the floor so when I replace the downpipe with a full 3 inch, could I get a custom made one to force the backbox to sit angled at the back?

Thanks

If you had a angled custom downpipe made it would alter the position of the middle section and may not fit.

See what your saying matty. I am approaching it all wrong. In terms of comparing the two nur specs (angled and straight), where is the difference between them that makes one angled and one straight? Is it simply angled at the backbox? If so I could just get that bent and adjust the hangers.

You can get Custom Fabrications in Brixton to bend it for you.

Yep it's the pipe work on the box that determines the angle mate.

I would be interested to know if you can get this done, I attempted to get my blitz at an angled exit by giving it heat (making it glow) and trying to bend by hand lol
At the end I gave up and went to a customs exhaust shop and they refused as the exhaust diameter was to big to bend with their machine lol
