Standard VXT silencer which has been cut open and had all it's restrictive chambers removed, plus larger bore tailpipes added.

Sounds great if used with the standard cat (gets a bit loud if used with a sports cat!).

Cheap way of adding the soundtrack missing from the standard car.

£50ono

Can collect from Dorset or courier at cost (quite heavy so probably be £25ish).

More pics available on request.

Could be used on an NA too, providing the U-bend fits :)

I haven't got it in front of me but the U bend outlet connection is the same as the standard VXT item (happy to throw the original U bend pipe into the deal too if anyone wants it). If the standard VXT U-bend is 2.5" od, then this will definately take it.

Just measured it and the inlet pipe is indeed 2.25" OD. Does this mean the standard tubby silencer is smaller bore than the standard N/A silencer?

N/A is 2" and turbo is 2.25" thumbsup

My current system is 2.25" and im moving up to 2.5" for what im doing next.

Thanks for the clarification. Does that mean that with the tubby U bend, assuming it has the same flange on the end, will fit a standard N/A car?

So as long as the flange on the tubby U-bend bolts onto the standard N/A system, it wouldn't matter that you'd be going from a smaller bore to a larger bore? Or am I misunderstanding?
