New Griffin Exhaust for my 1994, 300tdi D90

Looks good.

It don't belong in the lounge.

Shiney SS I guess?

Yes.
Fully stainless with a 76mm bore to the middle box and then 72mm to the exit.

But it's a concrete floor is the shed and it might get scratched ....

I knew you couldn’t keep your hands off your shiny tube.

I have one fitted (for last 12 years) its still perfect

Couldn't resist a bit of a pickle and polish ....

Scrummylisciousness in S4100, 1.5mm walled, stainless tube.

Looking good. Where did you purchase form as a quick google for them does not immediately come up with a shop. I am still trying to find somewhere that will sell me a ss exhaust in sections rather than whole. As mine is a conversion I already have the front down pipe stingless and the next sections are a combination of different things.

Twill be black as soon as you start her up!

Should have been fitted by now but I was attacked by a dreaded man-flu of the most worse and henious kind.
The sort spread by young children and their yummy mummies, given away feely at 1st birthday parties.
Not even a genrous dousing of a good malt or four slowed it down.

Coffee wasn't just warm and wet, it actually tasted of coffee this morning.

@dag019 I bought the exhaust direct from James at https://www.griffinperformance.co.uk/defender.htm after meeting him @ Belvoir. He was the only guy who offered me a beer
Mention my name, i'm sure he'd be happy to charge you the same price.
I don't think he'd be interested in selling bits and pieces though

this is the problem, I have not found anyone that will so far. It is complete system or nothing and I am not stock as I have an engine conversion.

Sorry for the delay, headcold got in the way (man flu, I died and have been ressurected).

Over the weekend, with some help the tube is in.
Being in a number of small(ish) sections made it easy to install.
I could have done it alone but was helped by @Tirran . The hardest part was getting the old one out but fortunately I had to chat with someone so he did most of the work

There is plenty of room under the car and as each section can be rotated plenty of room alongside the gearboxes, under the support and over the rear axle.
The can is subtle to, it's not 'in your face' at all.


It does sound a little deeper and more throaty although at first try it 'chuffed' as i'd not tighted the clamps sufficiently and i'd missed one of the nuts where it attaches to the turbo.
I dont think its any louder than before although logic says it possibly is.

More tightening and its perfect.
The 'chuff' has gone.

I just have to resist the urge to polish it after I go through a puddle.....


I think it has improved the pickup slightly too.

Nice to see pictures of my hard work

Next job is my chromed towbar.
