Do i need a tail pipe?
I had to cut the tail pipe off my silencer to make one of the bends in the exhaust so was wondering if i needed to put one back on?
The hole that is there at the moment is about 8" away from the rear wheel so i reccon it will be 4" max from the wheel arch. If i put a
heat sheild on the wheel arch, do you think it will be ok?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I imagine the heat will effect the fibreglass, 4 inches isn't much when that monster engine kicks out enough gas to kill a polor bear with each
revolution

My car now sports a very aerodynamic hole in the wing after the exhaust cooked it on my first blast up the road

I've seen a fair few burnt wings. I wouldn't risk it for the cost of the GRP.
Cheers,
