Stainless Steel exhaust and winter pack

Post by Morag » Thu Oct 28, 2010 2:28 pm

Hey folks, it's getting that time of year when the Bongo will be back on the road for the lovely winter. Looks like I'm going to need a new exhaust and I'm think along the lines of a stainless one like here

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BONGO-EXHAUST-MAZ ... _500wt_951

we'd get it fitted up here by a local garage but my problem is that our Bongo has a winter pack and I know that there are some exhaust issues with that and non winter pack Bongos. So, if I have the local garage remove the annoying winter pack stuff will an ordinary off the shelf stainless exhaust fit or does the pipework need to me changed?

I'm confused really! :!:

We had ours replaced at MIJ Performance in Walsall - it was about £230.00 fitted for a full stainless system. They have an eBay "Buy-it-now" store as well and will deliver.

Ours originally had the winter-pack thing, they were well aware of what to do and blanked off the vacuum pipe.

I'm guessing Walsall is a bit far to go though #-o :D

Simon Jones has given some advice about blanking the pipe, ON THIS LINK.

Sorry, not much help with the winter pack but MIJ posted a system to me no problems.
