Well I bought me a new daily yesterday. Picked this VB SLE 253 auto up cheap. It runs on gas only (wouldn't take much to get petrol going through it, but I'd rather gas) so I was thinkin of taking out the fuel tank so I can run twin pipes....one up each side.
Obviously it isn't done very often at all coz there is no room due to the fuel tank....but yeah, is it ok to remove the fuel tank? It isn't a defect or anythin is it?

I don't think you will get a defect, but, this is my humble opinion, twin exhausts, one each side on VB-Vks look like ****. Only the factory V8 look twins look gtreat on VB-VKs

vb looks sweet any more pics
good looking car
Need some parts for my VH 253:
Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
PM with any info.
just lose the tank and run twins,they look fine without the tank and space the pipes about a metre apart so they are close to the centre.looks tuff
Thx for the opinions guys. Still not 100% sure if I wanna get rid of the fuel 100%. After I get my gas tank checked and back in and running I'll decide.....but yeah I still like the idea of a twin exhaust.![]()

What about twin sidepipes? Would that look alrite on a vb-vk? Cos I want a full twin exhaust on my VK as well but also want to keep the fuel tank so I was thinkin of sidepipes, you know the ones that run along the side of the vehicle?
^^ Are you planning to drive this on the road? If so, its illegal

i had a vb 253 which we ripped all the fuel stuff out. i got a rwc as long as i took the tank, pump and lines out. i reckon it would look tuff with twin pipes too
