AAN 'Zost Blowing

[geneandbolly]

are the exhaust manifolds/ downpipes prone to blowing on these old tubs? i notice it at fast idle and then less so when it's warmed up. any ideas?

[spink]

downpipes dont tend to have much go wrong but the manifolds can crack,I wouldnt say prone for it but it does happen.I would say its more likely to be a gasket though.

2nd hand manifolds are cheap and plentiful

thanks spink - i'll get the thing off and see if i can find out where it's coming from. what about manifold gaskets - are they a regular purchase from any motor factor?

Ditch the centre silencer

[geneandbolly]

which oneS??! i counted at least four boxes plus some silly big transverse pipe under there !

First 4 are your cats then the big middle box then the back box

My Bruv in law has now got a single pipe from down pipe to the rear , sounds pretty good (running a small cat just to keep it legal )

Get a custom exhaust made at Meercat exhausts in Kilbirnie

They did my RS4 catback
