Hi, I received QTEC66 oval right now.
I would like to know by you where is the best place to fit them. Mny users fitted them before rear axle on the X pipe. I state I have a Corsa Tigershark exhaust, x pipe and mufflers.
I was looking under my car and there is very few palace to fit them. If I would fit them on x pipe the only possibility is fit them like this:

I do not know how can be good fit them almost one in front the other, and I know that right above them there are the 2 tanks and I fear for the extreme temperature and flames.

The other option I considered is this:

But I saw that few people use it, do not know why.... Some one said me that the sound could be lower than the one on x pipe because there is the exhaust longer.

Could you help me and explain which is the best place to fit them?
Thanks in advance!

Its really up to you as to where you want to put them, I dont think you would have a problem with heat and the gas tanks. the exhaust really isnt even all that hot all the way back there plus there is shielding on the gas tanks as well.

Ok, but if I put them like in the second pic, could the sound be lower?

The more angled to the back the louder it will be at the back of the car and less noise inside. If you angle them at the ground it will disperse the sound and make it quieter all around. Also if you dump them so the exhaust is not facing the ground and they are under the car it will probably be a lot louder in the car.

So it's only a discourse of Rumble?
In any case put the cutouts in the rear would make more noise than the corsa exhaust?

Yea depending on where you point them depends on how loud they will be and yes they will be louder than your corsas.
