Well, half way through its ninth year the original exhaust system finally succumbed to old age. Manifolds and cats OK but from there back it was completely shot. I was quite surprised that there was little difference in price between a stainless steel exhaust and a quality mild steel replacement. One thing led to another and today a sports stainless steel system was fitted:
Looks and sounds so much better than the OEM system
Oh, yes - those two rear tyres are also new ................. so now completely broke!!
nice pic. can't wait for an excuse to go stainless. may not go double barrels though. aiming for understated volume. not quite there yet. we salt the tits off our roads and it does a number on the undercarriage, even with hosing under there obsessively. time is on the salt's side. parking near the ocean frequently adds to the drama. was under there for a look see this weekend and the mufflers and cats are annoyingly intact but their mounting hardware is a disgrace i'll have to address.
My manifolds, downpipes and cats are also in rude health. However, having now driven for a few miles with this exhaust it is obviously more free-flow as there is definitely a touch more power and it doesn't sound half as asthmatic as it used to above 4k revs. So, sports manifolds and cats are looking quite attractive .............
I've had a Double S cat back system on for about 2 years now. It is the single system for pre 1996MY. I've actually got a set of sports cats on order with them as well. All in for under £300, (less my trade discount :dance: ) and I've got a set on order for a customer with a Thor P38.
Looking good..... Im dying to go quad as well when time allows but here cats have and will remain off.
chopping cats out alone akes a big difference and I also blame them for the carboned up valve issues due to back pressure
So here's the story, have just had all the rocker arms, timing chain, cam followers, camshaft machined, all to get rid of the damned ticking that has plagued my poor rover for months. But now the ticking is back and worse than before the work was done. I don't know what the issue could be, and...

Flat battery and then the bonnet wouldn't open! I found a few ideas on how to pop the catches but not easy to see what you're doing. What I found is that from underneath you can see the centre of the catches and the pin that screws into the bonnet has a big slot in it. With the aid of a long...
