exhaust re-routing and other bits

[taff]

just thought i'd post a few pics of my newly re-routed exhaust and added protection in preperation for mud gut's.
my new 3 1/2 "springs are ordered and should be here next week, then the tyres can go on, get it dyno'd and were almost ready. :cool:

Mate looks good.

I thought about the side exhaust but couldn’t see any real advantage so I’m curious as to your reasoning.

From the look of it you’ve removed all the mufflers and I assume the cat converter? I’ve moved all bar the final muffler which I will do if I go for the side exhaust. Did you notice any significant exhaust noise increase?

And the last question and clearly showing my lack of knowledge, what’s the purpose of the steel section under the window’s.

the exhaust did run under the chassis and out under the back of the panel work behind the wheel and kept getting banged when coming off rocks, i've not had the mufflers removed it's just hard to see in the pic but you can just make out the centre muffler under the axle in one pic. on the last pic you can see i've now made rear "bumperettes" to further protect the rear ( also cut some of the rear quarter and flare) the one on the left hand side was waiting for the paint to dry before fitting.
the box section under the windows are body sliders to prtect the waist when scrubbing against tree's - probably going to continue it down the doors.
it's entered into a comp next month with some pretty tight sections and i dont want to damage it - too much :cool:

taff nice foleys landy they always do good stuff!
Where did your exhaust get born as i want a stainless steel job for the 130 soonish as its coming to the end of its life and requires euthanasia...

[lardy]

i've not had the mufflers removed.....i thought you being a speed demon would go for dropping out the mufflers as i thought they restricted flow i was thinking centre one out rear one in ??

[taff]

speed demon? In a 300tdi??
you been drinking right??? :D

[Debacle]

Is that mod legal over there.

You wouldn't want to be sitting at the lights in a sedan next to that.

no it improves the efficiency of the escape of the exhaust gases and is supposed to give you better economy ...and you wouldn't be a speed demon in a 130 whatever the lump ;):D

Interesting having the side exit?

I spoke to the bloke who did my centre pipe ($180 fitted) and he said in NSW its legal provided its 18" back from the side sliding window.

I'll have to have a listen to a 110 with no mufflers/cat to hear how lowed it gets.

[taff]

afaik it's o.k. the exhaust mob also said it's fine.
the original exhaust came out the same place just under the bodywork so it's only been moved up.

How does the A Arm go at full droop? Looks like the exhaust pipe would hinder the suspension flex.

I had this on my 130. The left hand side could extend fully due to the exhaust pipe running under the A Arm. The exhaust has now been corrected and runs above the A Arm.

this was also part of reason for moving it. i have dislocation cones fitted and at full drop the A-frame was catching the exhaust, all been tested and even though it looks close in the pic theres now acres of space.
