Changed my exhaust

Post by callum » Fri Jun 10, 2016 5:11 pm

Hi folks,
Today i fitted the second hand stainless exhaust i bought nearly a year ago.
Old one really didn't want to come off, angle grinder to the rescue. 3 manifold ones came off ok though, handily!
You can see in the picture the state of the original one, all sections had at least one hole!
Ooh and the winter pack is now removed too.

Anyway, all done and running nicely! Hoorah!

Not a day too soon =D> That many holes must have been a right conversation stopper whilst driving, especially up hills :lol: Guess you now have to listen carefully to make sure the engine is running!

Ha, yes indeed, it's certainly a lot quieter inside. Funny as i'm sure i can hear the wastegate now, sounds much nicer anyway!

Spare holes for Bongo exhaust should fetch a bit on Flea Bay, Ady. :lol:

All jokes aside, i assume nobody has any need for the winter pack parts before i bin the exhaust?
No idea how hard/easy it would be to disassemble, also can't see much use for it, but you never know.
