Post Exhaust tailpipe

Could someone please advise what is the difference between saloon and tourer exhaust tailpipe. We are talking Mk1 V6. Tourer ones seem to be a lot more money. Of course, I need one for a tourer.

Why not have a stainless steel exhaust fitted. Lifetime guarantee.
Had mine done by Tony Banks near Leeds. The guys are fantastic and they offer a choice of tailpipes to suit.

I had considered it as it looks like I shall be keeping the car. Does stainless work better on White Gold ones?

Mine looks lovely when it's cleaned and polished. Think it goes fine with all the other chrome on the car

I had one fitted by Tony Banks to my diesel a couple of weeks ago. I wanted the tailpipes to show so I cut out the bumper to look like an MG. I'm very impressed, the car runs smoother than it's ever done, a bit livelier too. I like the polished tailpipes on my Rover. It's hard to see on these photos but the MG trim is also polished to a chrome finish, it's made of stainless, so a good sand with a wet and dry paper, then move onto metal polish will get a really shiny finish.

If you want to stay more or less OEM the tail pipes on a R75 V6 should be almost invisible as they are approx. 90 deg blowdown and tucked up partially inside/behind the rear bumper. I'd recommend a back box from DMGRS - mine is fitted to a saloon which is a straight switch, a Tourer might need a bit of extra pipe adding to the connection junction from the intermediate [cat. back] pipe - which is almost identical to the original Rover shape and pretty quiet, not cheap but pretty good quality. They are supplied with straight SS pipe trims (I think suitable for the MG6) so you have to remove these (they are just tack welded onto straight stub exit pipes from the box) and you can have a couple of suitable sized burnished SS blowdown trims (choice of 2-3 good UK suppliers on e-bay) welded in their place.
I think the DMGRS box is a grade of SS but DMGRS don't offer them on that basis - they are not plated/coated with anything and mine has been fitted since last autumn and there is not a sign of corrosion at all.

Thanks. The exhaust that is on at the mo' is I believe the original and as you say has the 90 degree blowdown. Best price so far is £97.96 from Fleabay seller Clickcarparts which is actually SDL Minofern with whom I am quite happy to deal with. The exhaust they are selling is Klarius. What I am objecting to is why they are £30-40 more than a saloon.

In my experience you want to be careful of exhausts for our cars on ebay that dont actually show a proper photo of the item you're thinking of buying.
