Well my exhaust rear section was worn out with a split running for 8 inches and further along another 10 inches so it was time for a replacement. The car was originally fitted with the standard exhaust which consists of the down pipe, mid section and end section.
Well I am looking at fitting a TD5 fuel tank later and also wanted a more straight forward setup so switched to the last spec 300TDi version.
The down pipe from the original spec exhaust is the same size and length as the last spec one so what you can do is start off with ESR2297 i.e. the down pipe without a cat then ESR4526 which is the last spec mid section and follow this with ESR4527
The front hanger of the mid section will fit normally but the rear hanger is in the wrong place. The rear hanger of the end pipe ESR4527 does not fit either BUT it can be made to fit by simple un bolting the hanger and fitting it the other way round.
So to convert you need {prices from brit-car}:
ESR2297 (if your down pipe needs changing) {£15}
ESR4526 {£32}
ESR4527 {£15}
At this moment in time I do not actually have a rear hanger on the mid box BUT a universal one for about £8 on ebay will do it. If someone has a ROW spec/98 spec diagram and can give me the part numbers we can see if that is better.
