exhaust 1, me nil

(1/3) > >>

Well, I tried to fit my new exhaust today to my rover.

It took alot of sawing with a junior hacksaw as that is all I could get into the space to saw through the support hangers on the exhaust and through the front pipe. Eventually it came out all in 1 big piece. Now I get to play with the petrol angle girnder to chop it up into bits  :dance:

I spent ages fitting the new exhaust to find the middle to back joint blows a gooden and the exhaust sleeve to join the new and old front pipe together is a wierd fit. It is very snug around the old pipe, so snug I had to tap it on with a hammer but the new one is that much smaller in diameter that the clamp wont go tight enough around the new pipe to make a good seel. Anyone got any ideas how to fill the gap?

I will be getting the rovers bum in the air tomorrow and concentrate on the rear section first. Once I have that sorted I will look at the front again.

So after 4 hours I have a shiny exhaust under the rover but worse blowing than when I started.  :twisted: Oh and less skin! :lol:

Hangover:
Get yourself a big tube of silicone mate,the clear stuff,put around the joins and let it go off.

Is that wise? Just wondering how silicone reacts to getting hot?

no never use silicone (unless it is High Temperature Silicone) get proper Exhaust paste and Chuck that round the area with engine running so you know that it has sealed the blow
