Can I move the spare wheel to put my exhaust through the middle?

[RickardsDS3]

I have ordered the Lugano Bodykit from TuningShop, I decided to go for the middle exhaust piece as my car originally only has 1 exhaust. I need to be able to have the exhaust through the middle but apparently my spare wheel is right in the way and its not possible.

Is there any way of taken of the the metal casing at the bottom of the car so they can put exhaust through the middle? Saves me having to cut holes in the Bodykit so my exhaust will fit!


Thanks

Isn't the well for the spare wheel part of the moulded floor of the car ? I'd be surprised if you can remove it.....

cyclone has a centre exhaust on his DS3 he can probably advise how that was fitted

That's what I thought, surely you can't take anything like that off the car.

There is a ton of room under there. My center exit is run from the back box in its normal position under the back edge of the spare wheel well then exits in the center.

That's originally how I thought it could be fitted, I need to show the person who's is going to move my exhaust & fit the new rear bumper this... Then it could work! Thanks

There is also another exhaust hanger on the other side of the tailpipe behind the tips where it makes the bend that you can't see in the pic.

Thanks guys

Where did you get the diffuser from? Looks smart

Agreed :bow:

Yep, looks awesome - the wheels really suit the colour of the car

Im having a lot of problems, I have the rear bumper from the Lugano Bodykit and it has the center exhaust. Your saying theres loads of room for the center exit, but my car has a big metal mold underneath the car for where the spare wheel is. Starting to stress me out because I may have to get a hole cut in my bumper just sso my exhaust can fit.

The underneath of your car looks a lot differant to mine, not sure if because differant model or what? Did Muskitier fit the bumper and exhaust for you?
