Rover 400 exhaust

I guess I shouldn't complain then as my middle and back sections cost £88 all in :) I'll pop to Halfords tomorrow and buy one of those screw-on chrome pieces to finish the job. Thanks for the info.

My memory of Chrome tailpipes, the better half had a Mini (20yrs ago!) went to quickfit and they gave her an after market chrome pipe (she refused the try on new tyre + shocks!) , Because they collect mud etc, before the guarantee had expired the chrome bit + tailpipe had fallen off! so another brand new exhaust was fitted (including a new chrome tailpipe.... do they never learn!!) , Its rarely I ever thanked quickfit for anything! I wouldn't advise fitting one.

if it protrudes too far its probably the wrong part, although it will fit, and obviously its on there, it is probably designed for the saloon, i am assuming you have the hatchback, having said that its perfectly safe to chop the end off although it might affect any warranty you have on the exhaust. many aftermarket exhausts we use will still have a chrome end if the original had one, more reasons to believe it was the wrong part fitted. steve.

Yep, you are right, I have the hatchback (which I specifically sought out in GSi form because I think it looks nicer/more sporty than the saloon, although most other people seem to prefer the saloon).

To be honest I think it's more that it's a cheap part rather than the wrong part. Going off what someone else said on here this one was reasonably cheap at 88 quid for the middle and rear sections.

It was a local independant garage.

its probably either a Timax or a Walker, in which case it should still have a chrome tail section on the end,
