Exhaust Mods: This looks the go

[Baytown]

Seeing as my Evans waterless coolant experiment seems to be a no go, I read about this quality Stainless exhaust system recently in the Oct 16 edition of Land Rover Owner International magazine. I get it electronically and it's brilliant.
Gains aren't great re HP, but torque is worth considering.
I am looking at a new SS exhaust system anyway. Weight saving, and longevity are a bonus.
Any informed comments or experience re this system?
Nene Overland supply it, and I would import accordingly if no Aussie retailer exists. Maybe others would be interested. They do a version for the 90 as well.
Best wishes fellers.

What sort of weight saving?? Wouldn't have thought much difference.

I wonder how the stainless will go with cracking from fatigue.

I'd be interested but only if it sounds better. I know how superficial that sounds but I'd love for my 90 to sound more grunty. Quite happy with the power after the tune. Even on 35s it's still very good

Ken. You'd be better going to a good exhaust shop...

Whilst a 110 will be ever so slightly dearer than I paid...

D90...
New Dump pipe with Decat
Straight through centre box
Mated to factory rear piping and resonator (which is more than ample).

$600 fitted.

Quicker spool up, runs cooler under floor, can't guarantee fuel consumption but seems to be marginally better (not significantly enough to put solely on exhaust).

Weight saving would be 15kg tops...

Mike,
Can you clarify,please.The catalytic convertor is removed, along with the main muffler. You're just running the tiny rear muffler? What size pipe did you use?How's it go for noise and rego?
Thanks

The only decat pipes I've seen are for the 2.4, don't know if they fit on the 2.2. If you are looking for more noise from the exhaust forget it, I have removed the centre muffler so mine now has a cat at the front and the small resonator at the rear and it is no louder than standard at all. The response from various exhaust shops locally that I have spoken to about a decat pipe have varied from very expensive to outright refusal to consider doing it.

I think these work. Yeah I just want a bit more of a throaty grunt. Nothing to do with power or anything else. I've heard you can't do much about it 😟

So the Cat is gone... the original box replaced with a 2.5" straight through box to keep drone at bay.

Then the rearward section is the factory 2.375" pipe and resonator...

Back pipe cut and turned.

There is absolutely no restriction to flow with this set up...

[Tombie]

Throaty "grunt" isn't there to be had... you have to restrict it to make it bark...

At idle there is almost undetectable flow, at full tilt it's not very loud...

Even straight off the dump it was pretty quiet..
