Why are my exhaust tips sticking out so much?

Just wondering, is this normal? It was cold that day so, maybe that?

I will assume you are not the one who changed the muffler/exhaust to a DTM style. Thats why is it sticking out.

Very strange...can't believe it took me almost a month to realize it. Well to me it sounds normal not particularly loud. Ricer? Wow and I always complain about their fart cannons and they probably think I'm one of them now lol

Well it was an honest guess since I had no idea what else it could've possibly been. You're right though it is kinda funny now that u mention it. :D

EXCUSE ME . . .

DTM is NOT a R I C E R thing

go look at some parts catalogs for Classic Mini stuff . . .

don't know how I missed this mis-statement earlier BUT

you'll find this style on the JAG XKE which pre-dates 'rice' just a wee bit

impress us - what does DTM mean?

p.s. if it sticks STRAIGHT out the back, it AIN'T DTM


WAY BACK TO OP

you do not have a OE exhaust. Your DTM up kick was not present on any stock .. or until now ... any after market MINI exhaust I'm familiar with. Pics I show are from my 79 where twin DTM is ..... known

bottom line - you gots COOL tubes IMO!

meaning what?

yes DTM is available for a lot today

but DTM existed WAY b4 rice

never mind ... you are right

DTM is totally a r i c e thing

it is NOT possible that today's custom folks are copying a style that's 20,30,40 years old

final point

Mine's rice huh?
