anyone done this and any pictures im sick of cleaning the rear of my car! driving me mad!

fit a non vRS bumper and backbox, the tailpipe's aimed at the ground

Alex_e3 has just had one made on his! Looks good!!

PICTURES PLZZZ and no no to non vrs goodies!

Jason has a side exit exhaust but don't know the exact details.

Pics of Devonutopias in his work thread.

Pretty sure that would cause a restriction running a 2260

Side exit is a non Vrs goodie. Still a no no?

yep its a no no on side exit gunna have backbox modified so the smoke blows towards the floor exhaust tip just for show

I'll try and get some pictures up tomorrow Steve.

 

I'm really happy with mine. John's mapping is great anyway, but during the tweaking process the car was a bit smokey at first. Run it like this for a week and hardly a soot mark on the car! It hasn't caught once on speed bumps either. I have a single box in it and it's a nice volume. Quiet when pootling about, but reasonably loud on boost. Not as loud as my old Piper system thankfully!!

If you're smoking so badly that you're having to wash the back of the car I would get the mapping looked at or look at possibly changing the injectors for something more in keeping with the mapping. Heavy particulates in the exhaust is excess fuel which is just waste. And even at £1.23 a gallon these days it just seems crazy to waste diesel.

I wish it was £1.23 a gallon!!

ASDA Trafford Centre was £1.229/litre yesterday.

south wales £126.9

As per my last comment, it's not smoking badly. In fact, it's super clean - the cleanest it's ever been in fact! However, even though it's super clean, it will always smoke slightly on WOT. If you actually use your car properly, then you WILL get some sort of build of soot on your boot from the aerodynamic vortex at the back. Unless of course you wash your car twice a week!

As promised - quick pic of the exhaust. It's really filthy though I might point out!

 

 

 

I'll put more up in my project thread in a minute.

My comment was aimed at the OP - steveopc who was complaining that he wanted to stop having to wash his car all the time because of the soot. And I've had several massively tuned TDis, none of which made the back of the car dirty. I might well have missed out on the last 10bhp because I refused to overfuel to the extent that it would become a real smoker, but the fact remains it's just wasting diesel if it's making soot because the air isn't there to give proper combustion, so you may as well turn the fuel back a fraction.

This is mine - There's a handy notch in the chassis rail there to allow the pipe to still sit close to the chassis.  Occasionally it rubs on those "island" speed bumps, but all in all, much better.

Ah apologies my bad - thought it was aimed at me!

 

Completely agree about the soot. You'll always get a small amount on heavily tuned diesels though from what I've seen over the years. I too would rather a bit less power and clean running if it was an 'either or' situation. I think with the Fabia's it's the strange aerodynamics that don't help matters with the soot. So even a small amount gets swirled up and sticks to the boot. Granted it may take a week or so, but there will be a light coating if you wipe your finger over the boot.

Jason where does it come out in relation to the sill? Hard to tell from the picture - do you have one away from the car out of interest?

It's sort of at the point between end of passenger door, start of rear door.  That sticker in the shot is on the bottom front part of the passenger door.

OK - found a pic - can just see it poking out, and can see the worst of the soot just goes on the sill under the rear door.

 

I've started doing a side exit just wondered where I can secure it to. Or would I be better moving it up the car abit?
