TD exhaust

[MK999]

What can I pillage one off, diesels only, TD only, or whatever I like? iirc gte/sri/sr ones are different to everything else and don't match up at all, or is it the case that after the downpipe everything is the same?

[General Baxter]

TD only,

i managed to fit an SR system to a TD downpipe, but was all cutting a welding lol

[MK999]

Hmm, rocking horse then lol Sounds like cutting and welding might be the way forward, but I'm hoping I can do a better job than whatever numpty had a go before me lol

[General Baxter]

just buy a new one £30 max lol

[MK999]

yeah just seen how cheap they are, was expecting more than that, think my particulate filter is bodged too though, new one of those is £120... short length of exhaust is much less though lol

It does... you know how my exhaust sits stupidly fcuking low? It's got a particulate filter or silencer etc bodged in with lots of weld and a random section

[Stuart]

it shouldnt have a particulate filter, put it that way

[MK999]

It shouldn't, and it shouldn't sit 4 inches below the car, hence wanting a new exhaust lol

edit: just seen my post, I have a habit of clicking round and finding things out and forgetting about what I thought 2 minutes ago, just been down the motor factors and seen there's no particulate filter on them, normally. They also wanted about £90 for the lot.

ditch the rest of the system, straight through to the backbox FTW.

[MK999]

this is true, but I'm not really up for messing about welding bits in for a daily, would also most likely cost a lot more as there's nothing on the shelf, getting rid of the botched up bit should do for now.

not at all, £20 for a 2 meter length of exhaust tube form your local factors then £20 to your local friendly tyre and exhaust place to lob it in

Sounds a decent option. Wondering if there's anywhere local that would even do it though, last time I tried to get my manifold mated to the exhaust on the 1.6 there was only one place that would do it and they made a bit of a mess of it and charged me a premium.

you not got anywhere like selecta tyres or a kwik fit?

[MK999]

Yeah there's a kwik fit up the road but they don't touch anything that doesn't just bolt straight in as oem replacement, same as everywhere else I tried phoning before.

[General Baxter]

you own a nova, dont you have a welder lol

[MK999]

Course, now we get back to the not fooking about for the daily thing lol It'd need bends putting in it as well, unless I just cut out the ****ty box and weld it up straight I guess

[djshaggeh]

Tbh there isn't anywhere round here that will get involved with fitting lengths of exhuasts to standard systems. I certainly wouldn't trust kwik fit to do it, I wouldn't trust them to do my tyre pressures tbh.

I would offer to do it for you MK999 but the work welder is broke and it would probobly end up the same or worse then your current system lol

[MK999]

Just had a look at it, it seems someone has bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Diesel-Catalytic-Converter-CAT-VAUXHALL-NOVA-1-5-/200460970460?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eac67a9dc#ht_1961wt_1162

Realised it doesn't fit, and welded the normal centre section in just after the cat/particulate filter, so there's not really anywhere straight that you can go between with the exhaust from what I can see, as around the cat/particulate is a massive s shape.

Flexi Exhaust FTW and No boxes :D
