Defender 90 exhaust

[Allan]

Can anyone direct me to a few companies in Aus. who have/can supply centre muffler replacement pipes for a 90 without waiting for it to come from the old country, a trip that at times takes longer than Captain Cooks voyage.

Why not just take to a mufler shop they will be able to replace the mufler with a straight pipe. Much cheaper option.

Unless you want to be able to put the mufler back in for selling or long trips.


Your best bet would be to contact RoverCraft I think they would have something.

I'll second stig on that... Any muffler place should be able to do it, took mine to Grapnel Mufflers in Balcatta.

More than welcome to have a look at it 2mrw (saturday), i'll be under it for a while replacing the front pipe with something less restrictive. :D

Enjoy the break Allan.

I was in Darwin last week with work. I was driving the compnys diesel Prado and in a car park in Darwin was an SVX with a Howling Moon roof top tent!

Make sure you go to Hunamans for a feed one night. Probably was of the best restaurants you could ever eat at any where in Oz.

My original 1994 centre muffler cracked out last year. About $90 for a hot dog in as a straight cut and shut using the original flanges. Goes even better than before and holds 5th much longer

Hi Allan

I called around and to get a mild steel one its about 120-130aud... but for stainless it was up in the 200+ to get one made... so thats why im waiting for the terrafirma one...

Thanks

mine cost 60bucks at teh exhaust shop??

[isuzurover]

As above, just go to any exhaust shop.

Hans-on-Exhausts at maddington are good value IME. They only accept cash though.

5teve,

Just replaced my front pipe with a Terrafirma one. How much are the mid pipe replacements? (just out of interest, already have the centre muffler removed).

Hi Mate

Its been on order that long that i cant remember... its whatever rovacraft had them on special for... unfortunately they didnt have any in stock and i think the container went on the long slow ship 5x round the world.... its been since early march when i ordered it!

i just have a middle box replacement... i'll see how that goes then maybe look at the rest of it...

This seems to happen to a lot of orders, you order the part and never hear again. Last time I gave up and had it sent direct from the UK

[stig0000]

well all i did was take the lat 1/3 of the exhaust off,, put a straight thru in the middle(60$) and get a disco 2 dump pipe with no cat(its who you no:D),, fender/d2 have the same part NO. so in a way mine still has standard exhaust:D:D but i will soon put the last 1/3 on with a straight thru and see how it sounds, might make it deeper??;)

so all up its cost me 60$ to have a wicked sounding td5 that terns heads megger time, ay shamo:D

Iain has told me that it will be here on Monday :) i'll be looking forward to getting it put on!

I was looking at UK options but by the time i added postage it was no cheaper. i think with a bulk order the postage wouldnt be too bad..

Now to find one of those damn tachos at the right $$$

I may go with stig0000's idea when I get home. May be good way to go, may be able to get good front pipe from wreckers
