I may be putting P38 headers on mine as I can get a set for £15, they're semi tubular too which should be fine

Oh yes, I think ive seen those ones, are they the same as disco 2 4.0 headers?

Dr_evil said:

ere were they them brownish looking set in oldham I think ? or some place starting with a B ?


Was watching them and decided against bidding

I dont know! I got them off ebay yesterday. !!



Would removing the gearbox crossmember or modifying it be so bad?

modding wouldnt hurt at all

I'll have to do something tomorrow, as much as i love it, its not worth the earache (from her or the police) Sounds like a spitfire divebombing, i just had an idea, could i turn the crossmember upside down ? That would allow room for the Y piece...

Yeh, nice chap, he was turning V8 blocks into coffee tables, had loads of them!

The manifolds arent the same as the ones on a D2 4.0, (not the one i had anyway) I dont even thing my 4.0 P38 had them on either but i cant be sure, it was that good i never needed to open the bonnet.

Wouldn't know, my whole setup is custom so I was going to get a set of same bore pipe, weld on an extension to the lip as P38 come as cat only which I don't need and then work from there onto my motorbike pipes

This is the same as my crossmember, it looks like i could flip it upside down for now, but it would only use 3 bolt holes each side then, that would be alright for light road use, just until i get something else sorted out.

Heres hoping the plan works tomorrow.

Nope, the Y piece fouls either sides so flipping it wont make any difference.....

Cut and re-weld the pipes ? or add in some flexi ?

that's a 3.9 one. you need one from a 3.5.

Yeah they're the ones I can get for £15 so planning on using them as they're more or less tubular

I might just have to do that, I'll solve it tomorrow. Goodnight, thanks for the help.

Is the 3.5 one straight and does it allow the mid section to pass on top of it ?

Cheers.

How much will it be? Thankyou.

whatever it costs.

I appreciate the offer but i dont want to put you through any trouble of posting packing etc.. Its quite a bit of messing about. I'll get one from a nearby breakers but thanks for letting me know which one i need. Im sure i'll get one for a tenner or so. It would probably cost more to post it anyway.

crossmember off. Y pipes are on! just about to fit mid silencer and lambda plugs. Dont think this crossmember is going back on. Will it be ok for light road use till i get right one? I'll try and get some photos. Its got to be the crudest homemade y pipe i have ever seen.
