P38A 4.6 new exhaust any suggestions.!

Bagshot · Jun 18, 2020

Hi, looking to get a new centre box and rear twin pipes for the "Orville" ('She' named it, not me so you tell her.!!). Anyone recommend a good make.? Seen 'em down to £150 on the bay, but what quality do you get.??
Looking around £3-400. Stainless would be a luxury, but I need other stuff so a tin one it might have to be this time.

I need a new centre box too, the seams aren't welded and have spread apart, junk.

I f you go for stainless, Double S seem to be OK, I have twin tail pipes & center box from them on both my P38's

Maybe after Brexit a bit more freedom will return, this is all stuff laid down by the EU.

mines quite noisy, no idea how it currently passes MOT
never knew it would fail if removed, thought it just had to be leak free

I think some testers turn a blind eye.

my local MOT tester doesnt bother with emissions.. reason.. 'LPG has different rules because its dirtier than petrol and diesel combined'

There is a fella down the road from me has exhaust coming out through wing behind passenger front wheel. God knows how he managed

With the new test kit we have over here, it's not possible to skip the emissions. It's all computer controlled and has to be done in the correct sequence.

New equipment here too

Probe down the dipstick tube
Code reader in the OBD
Probe up the exhaust.

Don't think mine would ever pass emissions if it doesn't have any cats
