Top one,for cat.
Bottom one,have on my q90 saloon.
HOPE THIS,WILL HELP PEOPLE?

I have the top one (which came off an '86 90q saloon), I still have no idea which one we're looking for here though

BIGGYIN · 22-02-11, 10:11 PM

Both,will do.But I'm thinking of getting a stainless steel(bottom pic),made up.

Every q90 B2 85 saloon I've had,have all had the longer pipe.(1985 and 1986)
I could use the top(pic)pipe,but it's an extra part(cat blank).I might have to go down that route,if it costs too much to have a longer one made up?
IF I can have one made up for a reasonal price,I'll have a stainless steel shorter one for sale.

turns out , i dont think its the downpipe blowing at the manifold join,

i think its the downpipe/frontpipe blowing (due to crappy aftermarket exhaust system)

That will be,an easier job.

Definitely the shorter pipe with the joiner section, it was the de-cat bit that had seperated on mine and was blowing like hell

Mind you I've been told a couple of bits on mine are less than common now, the gauges I have are pretty unusual too apparently...

What are your gauges like?
