I really, really want a set of those fishtails for the EK wagon. I even have flame throwers to go with them (special western Sydney mug lair NASCO option pack)

Only drama is that I need the fishtails to suit 2.5" OD pipe... can only find them to suit 1.75". Seems a shame to run decent pipes (from a worked SBC) then neck the exhaust down at the tip. I doubt you can get a full 0.75" of flare out of them with a pipe flare mandrel... even if you could grab them without marking them.

Anyone seen them to suit bigger bore pipe?

Cheers,
Harv (here fishy fishy fishy........).

Harley ones seem to be 1.75".

This is closer to what I want... the pipe is not really restricted by the "tail", but still has the "fin"":

Only drama is that they are 3.75" ID... I'd need a 15mm concentric spacer to suit my 2.5" pipe. It's look a bit funny from side-on under the rear quarter.

Hoping that Gaz' mate can make me up a pair to suit 2.5". Just need the contacts.
