My PM tailpipe can touch the panel on my GP but wondered if anyone else has tried a slimmer tailpipe and fitted ok?

Thats what i was thinking,could get an Arrow can i guess.Was thinking cheap as chips though.
PM have now modified their design,took em years to do so when so many suffer from this and am deff not buying a new pipe,shame as they look good and do work very well.

can't you space the exhaust with a couple of 8mm washers where the bracket fits on the chaincase to push the whole end of the exhaust away from your panel?

How are PM tailpipes held on? Two or three bolts?
Doncaster's premier tuner had a couple of Dave Swarbrick end cans in last time I was there (a while back). I've got a couple myself, but the postage would cost you a mint.
They're quite narrow. They're alloy, so would need to be kept polished. But at least they're not stainless steel, so a small price to pay.

Original NK end cans fit straight on...but they look nearly same width as PM ones...which might not help.

Yup, should fit then. Might be worth asking for a bit of a discount - NOS ;)

Can you send a pic of the one you have and how much you recon it will cost to send,i dont think it will be shocking.This sounds better than the PM tailcan and like the ally finish of it better then stainless.
