Now I'm listening! that much more go really? AND better fuel economy? but I like engine braking.... hmmm....

So what sort of total cost should I be thinking to get a pipe made up (if I pull the old one out and take it down the local exhaust shop)?

Very interested in doing this Daz, I’ve got a 2.4 2010 what sort of cost are we looking at I’m in Freo so no problem to drop around, I’ll assume you’re on a bit of a break at the moment.

And being in Freo, you can leave the car with him and catch the bus route 998/999 almost door to door, apart from being about a 90 minute bus trip!!! OR, sometimes he has a loaner available, and I believe just scored himself a reasonable D2 which he is contemplating as a keeper.

The difference in performance is very noticeable,consumption dropped from 11-12 ltres per hundred taking it easy to getting in the 10's without trying. I wouldn't get a pipe made up,I'd buy one,I ordered mine Sunday night and had it Thursday afternoon,best yet it bolted straight up,easiest mod I have ever done. Pat

Hey Pat, do you mind telling us who you got it from in the UK and how long ago? Not expecting a guarantee on the price, it'd just be good to know where to start...

Got to love the forum, I’ll 2nd that if you can pass on where you picked yours up I’ll give it a crack.
Cheers

I bought this one Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 Exhaust | John Craddock Ltd. Pat

De-cat pipes aren't being made for the 2.2 as far as I can find.
