side exit exhaust

Hi

Has anyone bought and fitted ne of these ? Landrover Discovery 1 - Side Exit Exhaust Stainless Steel Off Road Use Brand New | eBay

if you have any pics of it fitted ? i got one today but cant get it to sit correct what ever i try ? seems to sit to far in more into wheel arch than rear panel ?

Is it legal to fit a side exit exhaust?
I just wondered?

i have no idea but have seen 100's of trucks i know of with them on

Yes look at a standard defender they come out of the rear at the side standard.

What difference would fitting one make to noise levels ?

depends if you leave centre and back box on, remove them and it gets louder...simples

yes i got one for my td5 d2 and had to cut it and weld it back up ,ace now

I have the same as you linked, installed it back in January, was abit of a fiddle to get it right, but didn't have to cut or weld anything to get it to fix right (apart from the hole it pokes through) but it does rest on the anti roll bar some reason, it won't go any higher, in two minds to take arb off but don't know yet don't fancy that, also they state that you should remove arb then fit and put the arb back on but I never done that went on with out removing. I can get you pictures if you need them might be best to do it when it's lighter out side.

Yea if you can get pics of it all in place that would be good I can't for the life of me get it to fit, had it all in place but as I said exit wanted to go through where the rear mud flap bracket is on mine so sitting way to forward

Alright, I shall see if I can find my light and see if the pictures are any good if not ill do it in morning, I don't have a mid box or back box on mine, doesn't sound to loud unless you give it abit large, also i've retro fitted fixing brackets to stop rattling in the hole.

I hope this helps, let me know if you need any more help or info.

Whu shouldn't it be legal? 1000's on the road. Mine passes the MOT every year with it.

Mine passes no problem too, and have a look at some of the defenders, as they are pretty much side exhausts

Cheers helps a lot dint suppose you could get me a dimension from the front and the back of the rear wing to see how central it is on the wing?

So you want to know where abouts my exit is on the wing panel? Mine will most likely be different as my rear panels cut for bigger tyres but I can get measurements for you.

Basically yes if you could as like I said mine seems to want to come out more in the wheel arch area not the panel lol

No problem chap, trucks in garage for brakes being done so will get them tomorrow for you when it's back

Cheers mate, not sure if I can use this one just yet may have to cut it or make my own from scratch what every I try it just don't fit

I bought one of these for mine last year. Spent bloody ages trying to get it to fit with no luck. It was way too short and would've come out through my flexi arch, I got a friend to extend it so came out the rear quarter further back where it should. However I then discovered it was hitting the A frame when off roading. In the end I threw it away and got a custom one made from center box to tip which only cost £30 more than that pipe did.

Cheers for the above info I think mine is gonna be the exact same as the above if I extended it, it won't sit right by the A frame still, just messaged them and will await a reply about getting a refund
