Side Exsit Exhaust
Skibum346:
--- Quote from: "thermidorthelobster" ---Oh, one thing they DID say is that on the Disco, the exhaust moves a LOT through heat expansion. So if you have the exhaust attached to the panel itself, then you'll stretch the panel as soon as the exhaust heats up.
D44 use an elongated circle (ie an ellipse) around the hole in the panel now, so as the exhaust pipe starts to wander, it has somewhere to go without wrecking the panel.
--- End quote ---
That'll explain why mine now batters irritatingly against the side of the hole when it started in the middle! :x :oops: :lol:
gtomo2:
And that will be why i used flexi pipe when i did mine so the end against the panel don't move :wink:
Disco-andy:
i have decided against one as i often end up leaning to one side in v-deep ruts or trench style holes. at the moment the exhaust tail only get stuck in mud when i back in to things, and i fear that it will be a lot more of a problem if it is on the side.
thermidorthelobster:
The D44 one ends up flush with the quarter panel, so unless you actually ding the panel it should be OK?
Bulli:
had one for about 2 yrs now, no difference in performance...mine improves it tbh!
ive bent those panels and for people who know me my truck is taller with more panel removed than most, so i wouldnt worry...rear exit i did flatten on a couple of occasions.
