side exhaust - Road

brockus · Feb 14, 2010

hello
in the near future i am plannin on doin my landy up no mods yet...

i mentioned about getting a snorkle and a friend said that it is only for show ... etc but he also said if you are goin to get one you may want to put a side exhaust or make it higher???

but he also said if you did this i wouldnt be able to use this on the road as it isnt legal ????????? that true ???? as my landy is my everyday car ?

cheers anthony

p.s
is there anything else i could do with the exhaust to make it higher ..tips, but still legal.

get a bath full of water.

stick your friends head in there and tell him to breathe...then ask if he needs a snorkel or not.

just for show... :doh:

yr friends obviously a tw@t and knows feckall about landrovers

a snorkel is essential if you want to do wading or preserve yr engine when goin into water.

my exhaust on me 90 exits as high as i could get it and has no boxes in it,and passed an mot

so yr friend is talkin bolllixx

my 300 tdi just flew through mot i asked the mot guy about it and he said as long as it exits past the front axle it will be fine

i got a snorkel even on the v8 and i dont really do waiding, just incase the muddy water i drive into is a bit deeper than anticipated

bobbler · Feb 15, 2010

A friend of mine has a slitty import with side exhausts 3 litre petrol I think but has had no problems come MOT time

rojbarker · Feb 15, 2010

Yeah they only really care if the exhaust is leaking or too loud, not how high it is or if it comes out the side.
Would be a fun project trying to get a truck style exhaust coming up one of the side window pillars....

zeiszy · Feb 15, 2010

mine comes out the side no boxes an is very loud get some strange looks while im driving down the road

disco dude · Feb 15, 2010

hi brock if the exsaust being to high was am mot faileure why do old lorries have stacks, the only reason lorrys dont have stacks now that i know of is cost.

cheaper if they dont have to go as far

gcoo8154 · Feb 15, 2010

brockus · Feb 15, 2010

GRATCH · Feb 15, 2010

V8 engine maybe, one snorkel for each bank of cylinders?

ah **** ye

never seen that before though

Pikey · Feb 15, 2010

not even sure why the OP's mate thinks it'd need a side exit snork. chances of water going up the exhaust and getting in the engine is about 1 in a million.

brockus · Feb 15, 2010

yeh i no its rare but im a brockwell . and the sayin is brock by name and brock by nature lol

wat would you guys do with my car diesal 1993 200tdi with the exhaust? leave it or move it as i want to do wading, 4x4in etc ?

cheers guys

this pic is me getting towed out of a hole...

the exhaust was standard when this happened, as long as the engine is runing, the water wont get in the exhaust.

If you are thinking about wading, you'll also better get a full wading kit. (extended axle breathers, gearbox, transfer box breathers and wading plugs for timing belt cover and gearbox, or breathers for these 2..)
