Right may be a bit of an odd one but here goes.
Im wanting to swap my full stainless exhaust for a standard one.
Im on my way to stage 2 now and im obviously having to replace my clutch to handle the extra torque. Ive been reading a lot on this recently and some people are saying going back to a restrictive standard setup will smooth out the torque delivery and hopefully give my new clutch a chance of survival. So there it is stainless for a standard.
Right bought this off ebay a while ago now, full 2.5" stainless (incuding downpipe) mongoose, was made for an estate but I had it shortened to fit the hatch.
This has also been "stealth modded" which means ive emptied the mid can and welded it back up and also ive emptied the backbox but instead of just welding it back up and leaving a boomy empty tin ive welded a piece of straight pipe through the middle!
This means its completely straight through, no baffles, restriction or silencers anywhere whilst still apearing to adhere to the MOT rules of "must have at least one silencer"
I wouldnt say it was loud but it has a deep rumble to it now and does sound really nice when giving it some death.
Also to note the back box had started to corrode a little and has some pin holes in the bottom but obviously makes no difference as there is a piece of pipe welded through it!
Right what I want as a swap
I would like a very good condition standard front to back system with the oval tip on the back, not the cheapo downpointer! Easy as that really, decatted would be a bonus but not the end of the world as I can easily throw some weld around it.
Let me know what youve got!
Oh and with this being a like for like swap I obviously cant post out the exhaust as the law dont appriciate driving without one whist waiting for the post! Lol
It will have to be done on a fine day where we can take both off together and swap there and then.
Edit: Oh this is for a HDI if you hadnt realised already.
Cheers
