SS exhaust for a V8 disco

(1/2) > >>

pas:
Ok then i'm after some opinions on SS exhaust systems as I've knocked the back box off mine (some time ago) have a small hole in the centre and have just discovered a crack in the Y piece so thought I'd see about a SS sports exhaust.

so the question is who should I go for.

 so far i've found double S, Rimmer Bros and Rpi all do systems (tubular manifolds and full exhaust) for about £450-£500 but which is best and are there any others for a similar price

cheers

I have heard that stainless sytems tend to warp around the head and are difficult to seal, not that our crusty old cast iron ones arn't.  Also stainless tends to snap more often, it has a shorter 'fatigue life' and work hardens.  All this means stainless exhausts often have to be heavier than mild steel in order to last any length of time.  They also have a raspy note which some don't like.

Myself I bought a S/H mild steel system for about £30, I'm not too upset then if I trash it off road.

I got the stainless pipe's from Martin Motors www.mm-4x4.co.uk
Thay had the best price at the time  :)

The only problem so far is stainless disipates heat for quicker than mild steel & cook's the floor on long run's or towing

Hope it help's  :)

We've got a 3.5 Rangie here with a Double S large bore stainless.

Went on with no problem, sounds bootiful, has been on for 6 or 7 years now.

That's probably why a lot of people wrap them in glass fibre tapes.
