It won't be a bolt on job. The pipe will have to be welded on and I'm not sure there is provision for exhaust rubber on LHS.
Then there is the question of where will the tips fit?

Yep new bracket has to be welded on the LHS ive decided to have one made because its a pain in the ass to get it here from korea started this mod today but as long as it is done right it should look good its not a performance mod as it is a diesel its totally cosmetic.will post some pics when it is all done  :victory:

Right  then all done dont look that bad no real change  in exhaust note but it is a diesel this was done just for the look .took me 4 hrs to do bit of a git to put LHS bracket on  as it was really close to fuel line but took my time and had a fire extinguisher at the ready just in case LOL and covered lines in tinfoil well it worked while i was welding

Did you use a bituminous compound to protect the floor after welding. Need to stop rust weakening your bracket. Looks good.

Are you converting the whole exhaust to stainless or just the rear section you have replaced?
Title: Re: exhaust
Post by: jesam on February 08, 2015, 17:12:43
Just the back like the one in my first post on this page catback system

Post by: CraigB on February 08, 2015, 17:22:46
Is it worth the effort if only changing the rear, it's not something that people are under the car admiring unless you are planning on a show car and you have the chrome tips which is all anyone will ever see.

You'd get more benefit spending money upgrading the catalytic converter and muffler to free flowing imo.

Yeh i was kinda thinking the same thing i might build up to the cat like the koreanautoimports.com one  :sweating:

Post by: CraigB on February 08, 2015, 18:17:52
That sounds like a plan, at least you/car should get a slight benefit in performance other than just aesthetics :goodjob2:

 :whsaid: And you can always replace it with a stainless one in a few years if you keep the car long term and this one deteriorates.
