Hello,
Have just registered on the forum and this is my first post. I have a couple Pumas at the moment, both Y reg. I've had one for a year or so and recently bought a Puma Black.
I want to replace the back box and tailpipe on the Black as the one that's on it seems like a bit of an eyesore compared to the exhaust on the standard Puma I bought earlier. Had a look under the cars earlier today, the standard puma has what I think is an original Ford back box [sticker on it with what looks a like a part number] and a chrome tailpipe, which all looks to fit neatly both under the car and the tailpipe through the recess in the bumper. It looks attractive and like it belongs, makes a good sound too.............. On the Black though, the back box looks too big and obvious, doesn't fit flush to the underneath, and the tailpipe [bit big, not chrome] doesn't sit well within the bumper recess. I've looked at one replacement option, but it just seems like the exhaust that's currently on the Black, it has a chrome tailpipe but size wise and how it looks like it will fit seems wrong. The tailpipe is not square to the box so I'm pretty sure that when it's fitted either the box or the pipe won't be square.
Any thoughts on where I might get an appropriate replacement would be appreciated.
The Black is in good condition and goes very well and I'd like to gradually improve it if possible. the exhaust seems to stick out on it to me so it seems like a good place to start.
Thanks
