stockhome Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 would like your opinions about the tips for my new exhaust straight slashed What do you think Hanger 111
Laura Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I like the look of both but probably am swayed slightly more towards the slashed ones
lummo Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 One of each? [seriously - I voted for the slashed ones]
Steve J Posted March 17, 2011 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
stockhome Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 i think i might be airing toward the slashed still not sure
MrSimba Posted March 17, 2011 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!
rocketian Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 You don' buy exhaust pipes to look at - which one works best (but I would go for the gun barrels)

rocketian Posted March 18, 2011 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
stockhome Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Gone for the bigger ones should be fitted this thursday along with one of these Eliseparts Silenced DeCat and i will be able to fit the the new three stage diffusser and round grilles i will post some photos when its done
fentuz Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I put Straight bigger but I would select the 3rd option : single pipe on driver side
Daniel Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Straight for me too (Goodness, I bet that comes as a surprise to some)
