As I was fitting it at my mates garage, across the road is a metal fabricators so we quickly asked if we marke up where to cut would they mind shortening the actual tail pipe, as the pipers aren't rolled, just one sheet of alloy for the exit itself so can be cut down when really needed.
They did it for £10 which gave me a perfect fit. It became a 4" straight cut rear for a hatch when it started as a 4" slash for a saloon.
Its tucked away I'm the garage now as got a full Piper cat back now so just swapped it over.
Can't really do the same with the Janspeeds or Xpower, whichever way its badged as would totally ruin the pipe. Shame as it would've looked nice on the hatch with that tail pipe.

No glad you did mate, don't wanna be selling something that won't fit right!
BTW i'm breaking a mk1 180 so if you need any other bits everything forward of the rear window is the same between hatch and saloon.
