V8 side exit exhaust

(1/3) > >>

nickW:
hello,

ive got a V8 disco 1, and i was thinking about taking the backbox off the exhaust and having the exhaust coming out of the rear 1/4, i was wondering if anyone else has done this and if they had any pics or tips

Dave:
Hello Nick i just cut off the back box as close as i could to the box and put a 90 degree bend and weld it on. Some pic here if it helps :wink:

nickW:
that look good, how much louder was it with out a back box,

also i cant weld so i was thinking about doing the bend in flexible pipe and using exhaust clamps

Damonski:
Will it be OK for the MOT without the rear box ?

Dave:
Not much louder at all, does sound a bit when driving by houses or a wall as the sound comes from the side and bounces back to you. not like from the rear of the car as you leave the sound behind you.
 Fine at the mot infact the man who does the mot has his the same or that might be why it passed :wink:
 Ps i have a tdi not v8 the v8 might be a bit louder :wink:
