andy _1 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hi I wonder if any of yous guy would have a picture of where the for example steve parker down pipe mates with the rest of the exhaust. I am in the process of a full rebuild and engine swap at the same time . I am not paying £144 for a downpipe I can make one easily but I dont know where I want it to exit. I have built everthing else I have search everywhere for a pic would someone be nice enough to take a pic of theirs . Thanks andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 So let me get this right, you don't want to pay for a downpipe that will do the job, but expect someone who has, to then provide you with all info to build one. How about I send some photos for £130, a bargain surely... 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 You can see the various conversion kits here https://www.steveparkers.com/conversions/ It would help if you specify which vehicle &, original engine & which 200tdi engine you want to fitt Discovery/Range Rover spec 200tdi or the Defender spec 200tdi.

landroversforever Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 IMO, I’ve got the fab skills to make one but it’s not worth it, the Disco 200 downpipe kit from Steve Parker just fits. It’s a horrible shape thanks to where it’s got to fit. I’m all up for making custom stuff, but sometimes it’s just not worth the time.

Mo Murphy Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Fit the rest of the exhaust, make the downpipe to fit between it and the turbo. Easy to do, no pictures needed. Mo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo I think I just do that mo .I was just trying to get a start/ahead finished during the hoildays, cant get the exhaust just now.The bends cost £2 each and an exhaust 90 bend £10 . I made the chassis so I not paying £144 for a downpipe. Thanks for the constructive replies Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilloverland Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've just done this, this week. I got the downpipe from a guy who makes them and sells on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/defender-90-110-exhaust-conversion-for-discovery-200tdi/324037686441?hash=item4b7226b4a9:g:BysAAOSwH3hZ77gw So far so good, It fitted very well and cured my rumbly noise (old down pipe touching footwell when engine under load).

supaimpy Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 just use a 300tdi manifold insteadthen a std downpipe shortened will clear the engine mount 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of the Disco 200 downpipe, its got to be that shape to clear everything. The Steve parker one is at least flowing bends. The one in the link is the laziest pie-cut exhaust I'v ever seen.

Bowie69 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Compare and contrast: A whole £2 cheaper for the Tandy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb78 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 My recollection of the early steve parker ones were that they were a similar construction to that tandy one. The curved version is certainly improved though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Nuts, mucked the price comparison up, the Tandy one I checked came with silicon joiners etc for the intercooler as well. A slow revving diesel it may be, but it is turbocharged, so say at 14psi it is shoving the same amount of air for a given rpm as a 5.0l petrol. Granted it doesn't rev as high(4400?) but then the rover V8 is only 5k redline... Can imagine all sorts of flow issues with the Tandy one, and given a turbo engine needs as free a flowing exhaust as possible, it is sure to hurt power/efficiency.
