300tdi side exit exhaust

i need to replace my rear exhaust on my 96 300tdi auto due to rust eating a great hole in the silencer so seeing as i need to replace i was thinking about a side exit modification has anyone on here had this done to there discovery ive seen them on dependers but not yet on a discovery,is there somewhere i can buy a suitable part and is it possible on a disco? before some of you smart alics respond with "do a search" ive done one and nothing relevant come up which steers me to that it might not be possible or a good thing to do

not many replies decided to go for a steel flexi pipe option,stainless tail pipe,a nicely cut hole in the side covered by a alloy tax disc holder just got to work out how to hold it all in place but will post pics as soon as its done

Got mine via TD5 alive (mine is a 300 tdi)

Full ss side exit 2.5 " end with single box, decatted and even proper flexi pipe

hope youve got a good mate to help you with a big angle grinder keep out of car washes and it wont rust up also who makes dependers is that the new tata range muddy all the way

Tonight my exhaust back box fell off....Fixed update...side exit

Have a look here, should tell you all you need to know!

finally got round to doing the exhaust with help from a disco owning neighbour(who likes to keep his all nice and shiney ) so heres a couple of pics of our effort ,and it actually runs better and believe or not a little quieter de cat is next on the list maybe done over the easter weekend

that doesnt look bad mate, does it not rattle in the tax disc holder?

i was thinkin of a wing exit exhaust like a snorkel lol, dont think its possible without aot of work though.

did you slip with the drill cos i can see a great big scratch from the exhaust across the lower pannel ? hehehehe shoulda used a bit of tape "!

no rattle as its fixed into the hole ,any movement and the flexi takes it up,been fine so far even on a long run like i said its running better and it cost around £20 steel flexi,stainless tail pipe,couple of clamps,and alloy tax disc holder (which i had already so add a fiver on) just a bit of cutting and manouvering and jobs a good un

and yes slipped with the drill :doh: but the car is littered with greenlane scratches so it blends in will have to get the t cut out before eastnor comes up
