If i were to fit a 300tdi to my 1986 90, i would like to fit a straight thru exhaust pipe. I've seen them on paddocks for OK prices but they were for 200 and 300tdi ones which had the later exhaust brackets, so where can i find a straight thru pipe for my landy?

presumably when you fit engine youll change exhaust hangars etc to allow fitting of the 300 full exhaust

I suppose that's what i'll have to do then, thanks

I've had a look around and i think i would prefer to fit a td5 backbox, but would it fit? ie from the manifold, to a 300tdi defender downpipe, 300tdi middle section pipe and then td5 tailpipe. Would they all fit together no probs?

i doubt it it best to fit complete systems

The 300tdi tailpipe looks like it might be quite fiddly to set up, it looks more like a series 3 exhaust

google esr4526 and esr4527

ProcrastinatorFraser · Jun 5, 2016

Ahah, that looks more like it! would i have to fabricate something to bypass the middle muffler esr4526?

That looks like it might be it! thank you very much!

check before you buy there are 3 different possibilities i think for straight through 300 pipes

Ah, how do you think i will be able to determine which one it is?

You know, thinking about it, it might be wise not to fit a straight through system....
When my defender has had it's heart transplant it will need to go through an inspection to get it re-registered, to make sure it is compliant with every stupid french law they can throw at it, i may replace the muffler at a later date but for now i think it's the best option!

You will need to research the right hanger brackets too.

I may be able to steal them off the donor vehicle, but can they be found online anywhere?

ProcrastinatorFraser · Jun 5, 2016

Found them on YRM metal solutions! Sure beats fabricating them

Yeah, no bother. Paddocks, LRDirect, YRM etc I'm sure they all post abroad.
It's just a bit of a faff on getting the permutations of exhaust systems to brackets right. I've found that anyway

Ha, ha. You beat me to it
