I suspect that most of those interested have pikey hooks fitted

Think the single exit bumpers are essentially the same shape as the dual exit ones, only a bit less symetrical

3.2s have twin tailpipes, so should match with the bumpers quite nicely. Single pipe would probably look a bit feeble IMHO.

Nah, two types. See hyar...http://www.irmscher.de/pdf/files/omega_uk.pdf

Much as I really like the idea of the twin exit exhaust (either side) I can't see an easy solution to the pikey hook issue. I'm sure someone could make a bespoke system that would work, but it won't be easy

[TheBoy]

I don't think the exhausts are part of the plan. But given the number of tow bar configurations, it would have to be a bespoke solution for each car for the one either side exhausts I would have thought. And cutting an Irmscher bumper...ooh that's brave.

Just for info, either side exhaust exit does specify, " not with tow bar"

Believe the conventional exhaust exit bumpers are cheaper are they? and slightly different design?

No shit, sherlock

Remove Pikey Bar. Win-win situation for everyone

Except I need somewhere to mount the LPG filler and I'm not cutting the bumper or the bodywork

Plus, I still have need for it as I sometimes need to tow trailers, as you witnessed a month or so back

Do the sensible thing - hide the unsightly filler behind numberplate, and borrow a car from someone when you need a pikey fitting

Shall I point out the obvious flaw in that plan?

Number plate on an Estate is on the Tailgate

And borrowing a motor is great if you aren't on a tight time schedule to get to a party Oh... And frighteningly, the run down to drop the trailer back I only managed 15 mpg (on the MID) whereas loaded the RR got around 18.5 IIRC Mind you... I wasn't hanging about

Unless, my dear Watson, you have a pre made, Blue Peter style, one I made earlier, template. Ie, your original pre cut bumper, that fits inside the Irmscher one.

But filler in bumper wont work on Estate.

1) Get a proper Omega - a Saloon (prefacelift, obviously)
2) Next time someone asks you to tow something, remember 2 simple words....   ....blank off

We can chat over a curry one day, I'll try to explain difficulties with that. Potential difficulties that is.

I still can't see how they do the twin exit system, as when i look under mine the tank is offset closer to the O/S thus not allowing space for a silencer like on the N/S 

[albitz]

Iirc, its effectively a dummy.A pipe runs across behind the bumper (after the silencer) to the other side,so the gasses come out of two pipes.

[albitz]

Just after both pipes come out of the back box the one nearest the o/s turns 90 degrees towards the o/s,runs for about 3 feet and then turns 90 degrees again towards the rear of the car and then comes out from underneath the o/s of the bumper.

Not sure if thats more, or less confusing than the previous post.
