Exhaust Swap

[grinder]

Hiya chaps

Seeing as its a nice day - i decided to remove the exhaust ready for the single exit ( also due to travellingbob trying to get me banned for not fitting my toys )

got the car jacked up and the exhaust off - gonna refit the single exit one next week ( need to do "dad" stuff for the rest of the day )

when i got the exhaust off - i had to split the Y pipe - one bolt came off just fine - the other had no threads at all - so out came the "grinder"

Here are some pics of the progress :

this is whats going on instead of the "duals"

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm shiney

Very nice indeed, is the weight much difference?

[Brett]

Theres a good weight saving on the single exit system, cant tell you exactly how much it is, but its a fair bit less

 Oh yeah, found out yesterday that some muppet broke into the workshop and stole my spare TII exhaust system (Stock) - its been found 60yards down the road dumped in the ditch

Grinder did it come with a Down pipe?

[grinder]

nah its just the cat back - from looking at it - it should bolt up fine ( or it better do )

it looks like it goes from a standard sise flange and then goes to either a 2.5 or 3 inch pipe - then into the back box

will get it down from the loft and offer it up before i start again

i only bought it cause it was cheap - i was happy with the duals to be honest !!

i might leave the bung in it to be honest - just to keep the noise down - will try it without first

hopefully get it fitted next weekend

Kev - whilst i was under the car - its still all nice and black with no noticable rust - i didnt prod anything - but it "looks" sound

i will get some more pics up when i get the exhaust down from the loft

( and i have to say - it was really really nice working on the car today - it was just me - no body helped - the sun was shining - it was )

[kev-yorks]

Just give it a paint anywhere the underseal is thinning Stu should be fine for this year. Stay with the car when they test it there only allowed moderate force to check the condition if they start bashing the underside then stop them and complain.

whilst its up in the air - i might give it a good going over again

not sure though .. me and shaun are hoping to do the suspension soon , and i dont want to end up covered in under seal ??

when i did it at yours - i put 5 litres on the under side - so i reckon another 5 litres should do the trick

Loose the bung that comes with it Stu - It saps all the power and makes the car sound like a vacuum cleaner on steroids. (I alos reckon it increases noise in the cabin)
