boss:
the exhaust cannot finish under the body like i wanted it to(so I'm told) as it will fail the mot. so my plan is to rout it up the side like on a tractor :shocked:! unfortunately if i did this it would interfear with my plan for the raised air intake so it has to be moved to the other side. and to make things worse, the TD5 alive exhaust muffler finishes just in front of the rear wheel so i have to again modify that front pipe(shorten it) so the muffler sits futher down and i can get a bend in under there. does anyone know where i can get hold of a tractor type exhaust heat shield from and does anyone know how much a vertical exhaust will effect air flow??? or is this just not a good idea all together?
Range Rover Blues:
I'm not completely up to speed on this post, but who told you the exhaust can't finish underneath the truck? there's a lot of vehicles break that rule.
What I would expect is that the exhaust terminates behind the last opening into the cab, be it vent or window, so that no exhaust gas can be sucked inside.
Heat sheild need be nothing more than a larger tube secured round the outside of your exhaust or silencer with an air gap inbetween. If you saw the price of the heat sheild that Westfield sell, you'd be making your own :-o
I think having an exhaust that terminates pointing upwards is aa bad idea, the smog will be llifted up into people's faces and any water trapped in there will stay in there. If you're building a smoke stack it has to be right up to the top of the truck, even then I don't know if there is a minimum height regulation on them.
