Anyone got a picture of a 156 with a SuperSprint rearbox fitted with the 145*95 oval tailpipe as the tailpipe looks too big for the standard rear valance?
Alternatively can anyone recommend a company that makes backboxes & middles that finish with an oval tailpipe

Thanks for the link.
looks the same.
Did the tailpipe fit OK with the standard rear valance or did it need cutting - I can't tell from the picture as it's a bit small and if you click on it, ot bring up a different picture
I have twin DTM style tail pipes - which are exactly the same overall size as the oval tail pipe you mention.
There is about 10mm space each side of the tail pipes. I fitted harder exhaust mounting rubbers on the rear box to hold it in place and stop it knocking on the rear valance.
Will do Dimitri (along with some pics of course) but one of the reasons I went fot the CSC (besides the looks) was that the guy assured me that it is not loud. Will have to see (hear) it though

The tailpipe fits fine, no need to cut anything. There isn't much clearance between the opening, but the muffler is small and relatively light. So it's not a problem.
@Pascs, yep, it's a bit fat, but it's quite unique with a splitter in the middle of the pipe.
You could try a powerflow dealer, they are in swindon, do custom exhausts to your spec I have never used them personally but they can do what you are after.
I've got the supersprint 145/95 oval.It's not loud but more of a low but deep burble.They fit the valance cut-out perfectly.But being stainless steel,it's also heavier and this makes it wobble a bit while on the move,so you would have to get stiffer exhaust mounts from powerflex.And "supersprint" is engraved on the outer lip of the exhaust with a divide in the hole which gives the illusion of it being split.Will uploads pics if i can figure out how.
