Exhaust tips

[blacklion]

Ive got a jap import non turbo supra. My problem is that the muffler at the back is a 'V' box. ie, it has two pipes going into it from each side of the car. Can I replace this whole system with a single pipe system like those on ebay, or does anyone know where I can get a replacement 5" outlet muffler??? The current muffler is ready for the skip. PLEASE HELP,appreciated

Well the good news is you can do either. http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

If you buy a replacement rear box, then a lot of the time these will bolt up to the two stock pipes coming over the back axle (one of the Blitz rear boxes connects like this). If you buy a full CAT-back system then it will be one pipe all the way through to the rear box.

So the choice is yours.

Thanks again, Im going to look into the cat back systems and get some prices.

Carefull you dont end up with a mild steel coated exhaust (hks superdrager) like i did, go for st/st as the coated jobs rot from the inside.

yep agree totally with dunk, I`ve a dragger and it`s on it`s way out..shame really as I love the sound of it.

was quoted ?450 to replace the pipework with stainless...hahahahahaha

I opted for a new exhaust.

just hope I can get through the MOT this coming weekend as my new exhaust hasn`t arrived yet http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Will your cats be coming home then, or can your MOT tester get around it?

[Chris Rocks]

oh the cats aren`t a problem with the MOT guy, it`s the hole in the pipework of my exhaust http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I've yet to test this with my local garage, i really don't want to spend an extra ?40 having them swapped over again.

Looking at the powerflow systems that have a lifetime guarantee, getting a quote on Friday. Thanks for the help guys.:)

[Cuthbert]

From what I've heard, powerflow make reasonable quality systems at a good price - all 'one piece welded'.

Thanks guys, Demon tweeks sorted out the back box to a 5" powerflow pipe for only ?128!!! not the same noise as a full new system I know, but it looks a million times better than the standard box. It'll do till I can afford a new system. Getting quotes at ?600.
