Laura Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I like the look of both but probably am swayed slightly more towards the slashed ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lummo Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 One of each? [seriously - I voted for the slashed ones] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Just added my vote for straight. So wth a 50/50 split vote I'm sure that's helped make your mind up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockhome Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 i think i might be airing toward the slashed still not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSimba Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It might just be the picture angles but the straight tips look a larger diameter than the slash cut? So straight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketian Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 You don' buy exhaust pipes to look at - which one works best (but I would go for the gun barrels) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketian Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The exhaust is the same just different tips Not sure about that - if the diffuser is doing its job (which it probably isn't with the large ground clearance on an Elise) then there should be a low pressure field at the back close to the ground. - this will entrain exhaust, on one hand the slashed pipe will feed into his and therby reduce the pressure in the exhaust pipe (good thing as it reduces the "pumping loss") - but on the other hand, you do get thrust from an exhaust and the straight cut pipe will direct its gas along the vehicle axis, whereas the thrust vector from the slashed pipe will be slightly downward. Don't underestimate this effect - we could be talking of making a difference in the 0-60 time of as much as a millisecond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fentuz Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I put Straight bigger but I would select the 3rd option : single pipe on driver side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
