Default Squirrel's new center exit exhaust

:twisted: Just when you thought I couldn't possibly do anymore to my xB, I decided to throw everyone for a loop. I added a custom, one-off, Magnaflow center exit exhaust!

Many THANKS to Ken (NCP31) of Michael's Mufflers on Stevens Creek Blvd for the custom work and sponsorship, Gene Tjin from Magnaflow for the help and advice, and Dave Moulton (Toy xbox) for sharing the same ideas/interests in modding!

Here are a few teaser pics:

That's Ken (NCP31) just inside the other door.



I love this pic.



Not photoshopped, just my poor bodywork on fibreglassing and filling the factory opening.



Sorry if there are any red Xs, I used Imagestation.

Comments, good or bad, appreciated.

Looks & sounds nice in person. Thanks Brad... another mod on your ride that will just make that trophy that much harder to reach. It's ok, because when he's not looking, I'm putting a "Powered by Sluricane" sticker on his gas cap!

i like it, but i don't like it. i like the idea of a center exit, but, for one thing, the patch job on the stock hole looks kinda bad. second, i think you shoulda made the cutout for the center match the shape of the exhaust tip. looks kinda weird with a square cutout, and a rounded tip. otherwise, it looks great just my 2 cents

From my first post:

"Not photoshopped, just my poor bodywork on fibreglassing and filling the factory opening."

The patch work did not turn out that well. I don't care as the lip will be replaced soon.

Some like my mod, some don't. I like it, and that's alll that matters.

I posted that comments were appreciated, good or bad.

I just happen to be the first one to complete this mod. Others can do the same and improve on it.

It looks sweet, Brad. Sounds sweet too. Very Cooper S..

It's too bad that lip is split in the middle, thats the only thing I don't like, but not you fault
