theres a few diesel motors running around with those (well with fatter chrome tips anyway) i can only guess its because it keeps the chrome bits clean and looks more sporty

Well, (re) found Edd. Unfortunately I don't have sufficient room to hide the Heralds pipe otherwise I would do this!

My dad used to have a friend in the 50's with some sleeper, and I remember him telling me of the results, often surprise.

There was a sleeper Mk3 Escort that had a similar exhaust I think. Light metallic blue with Cosworth running gear, badged up as a 1.3L.

Thats a cool and novel idea.
Just to be a spoil sport wouldn't it fail an MOT because the exhaust fumes are exiting underneath the vehicle?

The triangular pipes in those civics really dissapointed me when I first saw them up close. They look cool, and then you realise there's just a wee pee shooter up the centre of them. It's a naffness that broke my heart.
