There are 2 questions here -

• Is it the 4x4 only that has non fake exhaust trims whereby the exhaust exits via the rear chrome pipe sections on the rear valance

• If the above is the case can the back boxes only fit a 220tsi FWD car?

Also are there any other options for exhaust rear, I was going to get a H tips to my backbox, but seems the company now no longer makes them as they were offset so the would work and not in the middle unless I can fine another pair which I like.

Thanks

Not sure I can answer your questions specifically. But I love the solution on this one to keep OEM look with super sprint back boxes

Whereas I like Martini’s option of subtly changing the tailpipes despite keeping the exhaust standard.

1 - not 4x4, but the 280 is the only one (it’s not the only 4x4 as there is a diesel one).

2 - do you mean can you cut the tailpipes off the 280 exhaust and fit it to a 220? Ummm no. The 220 will be a FWD variant of the ea888 design which routes differently because of the haldex.

There will be better things to do.

The thread I linked to had some chat - did you replace the resonator @tombee ?

Personally next choice would be downpipe. But if you have a GPF you have a moral dilemma about what you do with that…

Is it just moral? Potential new regulations on mot in 2027. Unless that’s just diesels. Recently discovered mine hasn’t done a regen in 50,000 miles or so. That might get interesting.

Well moral as in whether you want to get rid of it or not and live with it. It was never an issue about emissions as it would still pass without it.

Interesting read on MOT regs changes. Certainly looks to ramp up the MOT requirements and enforcement.
