What i'm gonna do to mine, is put the rear box in the centre, and then make a tail pipe that exits through the rear quarter........

did think of that on blue. done the side exit but just the rest to do ...

Took mine out then changed the front pipe to a non cat one, middle box will be going back in cos its sounds like a tractor with a knackered exhaust now, tho' it does sound good on tickover.

Centre box is straight through anyway so shouldn't zap that much power.

does it really sound that bad , have made a start to do mine .alan...

ChrisW70 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2008, 22:03:55 »

Mine didn't with the pump wound up quite a bit, backed it off now though... bit more economical

Sounds just a little more purposeful than standard, wouldn't say agricultural though

boss · « **Reply #15 on:** August 04, 2008, 22:13:38 »

i have a free flow silencer roughly the size of a carton of juice? all SS and sounds very very nice! but it does grow tedious as i have no windows on the cab of my disco and if i rev it past 2k it deffens me!been meaning to post a video of it up.
my dad has the same problem with his side exit, its not to bad if your in the front seats but if your in the back there is this drone and it wares a little thin....

bambamjj · « **Reply #16 on:** August 05, 2008, 07:26:40 »

OK, ordered replacement centre pipe, but still not here

Does it make that much difference to the noise levels in the back then? have the kids to consider, have read some where it does make it sound better, did not realise it could sound like a tractor :oops:

bilge rat · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2008, 08:21:50 »

it might drown the noise out from the kids ?. not a bad thing iff there like mine . ;)

boss · « **Reply #18 on:** August 05, 2008, 09:11:30 »

it wont sound like a tractor.....just like a very fruity TDI if its anything like mine!
should be fine if its comeing out the back.

now thats good thinking, gonna put SWMBO in back too, drown out there screams as i drive the Disco to extreme, If i ever get chance to take it off road ](*,)

bilge rat · « **Reply #20 on:** August 05, 2008, 22:03:17 »

iff you get yours done first let me know what it sounds like. because ive got a side exit exhaust i did awa\y with the tail pipe. so to loose the front silencer im sure would be too noisey . cat removed too. so ive started to fabricate the rear silencer to the ctr section iff you get me . dont want it too noisey but to be honest it might be 1 back on the neighbours ;)

bambamjj · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2008, 10:07:37 »

well been let down by supplier for this so cancelled order

. Any one suggest alternative suppliers, dont want to mention current supplier.

bilge rat · « **Reply #22 on:** August 06, 2008, 15:39:33 »

pretty sure paddocks do them and possibly cradocks

boss · « **Reply #23 on:** August 06, 2008, 18:09:04 »

first video from photobucket so i hope it works
that was probibly only revved up to no more than 3000rpm

neat boss :D :D

boss · « **Reply #25 on:** August 06, 2008, 20:59:30 »

yeeeeeeees does sound rather neat doesnt it. its a 2"(maby 2" and a bit i never measured) bore cat pipe from devon 4x4, pretty swish and did me a good deal too and the rest of it is my dads old d44 side exit(he killed the centre box), i had to chop it around a bit to make it come out of the side where it did. but all in all its pretty damn good. sounds better than the yankie v8s that live over the road anyway :lol:

well done mine today had a little time to spare fixed me diff lock which i though was a bad connection . turned out to be a bent linkage . then me exhaust . any way yep it sounds like a tractor, but a cool one ...

Disco-Ron · « **Reply #28 on:** August 07, 2008, 22:58:53 »

Well, this must be a recent fad...... just basically done mine this eve, fitted a decat front pipe a few nights ago, which improved throttle response....... this eve i cut up a brand new centre and rear section...!!! i cut out the centre box, and welded the rear box in it's place with a small piece of pipe to make up the difference, and have currently got the rear section cut off just behind the rear hanger, i'm now in the process of trying to get the pipe to exit the rear quarter just in front of the bumper..... well, thats the plan!! it sounds great, can;t wait to see how it sounds on the road!!!

bilge rat · « **Reply #29 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:19:00 »

sounds even better on the road ,why do i get this idea landy owners are like big kids and never grow up . well me all over anyway :lol:
