OK peeps - keep it or ditch it? Dunno if any of you have seen these OE trims. They don't, as I hope you can see, actually form part of the exhaust once fitted - just clamps around it. So Peeps - what do you think - keep it or ditch it? :confused:

Looks nice! The chrome bit on the VRS exhaust is just a clamp-over job, so I wouldn't worry about it being "only" a clamp on.

Ahhh yes Witchfinder - the difference is (I would think??) is that the actual exhaust pipe sticks through the bottom of the trim!

Ditch! From past experience I have found that they trap water and accelerate corrosion of the area they cover.

Looks fine, keep it. Had a chrome oval trim on my micra for over 3 years no corrosion probs.

Hmm...not really sure what it's there for?

Rob.

Seems a bit weird as i can make out the actual (twin) exhaust pipes behind the dummy one. Or am I seeing things?

If this is the case I would personally remove it.

Ah yes. I can see the "real" tailpipes now. But if you like it. keep it. I rather like the look of it. A lot better than some of the manky exhausts you see.

Looks fine to me but.....personally I'd go down to Powerflow and get them to make a custom back box......not sure of the price but I'd expect it to cost a little more than the trim.

Like Rob says...if you like it then it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.

For keeping beverages and snacks deliciously chilled on long journey's, or after 3 hours wandering around Ikea...

Still can't shift the sodding Dr Pepper though...
