mad_pete Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Anyone know someone who can make custom exhuast systems for V8 90s near Waterlooville in Hants ?? Got 4.2 front pipes and 3.5 rear and they don't line up. Need something to bolt to the 4.2 pipes. The bore looks big ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastcard Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I was looking at using a 3.9 RR midbox with some tweaking. There seem to be a couple of styles, one straight in-out and one offset (as per Defender). Hopefully I have now got stainless arriving at the w/e .

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Have a look at the 50th anniversary 90s, they had Big Bore exhaust and 4.0 engines, this could be a simplier fix than making stuff up. ? Aklso ring me as I have something that may help ! Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 When putting 4.2 V8 and auto in my 90 I had an exhaust headache too, especially as I wanted to use the tubular headers I had in the shed. In the end I gave up trying to find bits to fit, or close enough to easily modify and got a custom stainless sysyem made my Longlife Exhausts. It wasn't cheap but saved me a whole heap of time and I was very pleased with the quality and service. The Bristol (Berkeley) branch done mine, I guess Basingstoke is your closest. Oh and it sounds lovely Just listen to the opening on video B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Jez used Longlife in b'stoke for Petal's exhaust and seems very pleased, I'd use them for the 109 but no money : so am bodging my own for now until I can re-mortgage my spleen. Don't go to PMCC in Fareham, they're a right bunch of chavs and when I asked for a quote on the 109 they said £400 :blink: If you need a quick & cheap solution then flexi is only £10/m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 That is a nice looking exhaust. Current idea is to talk to Rimmer Bros about their performance 90 system rear section and hope it will mate to the 4.2 Y pipe. The Y pipe currently has the sensor thingys in and I don't want to mess about with those if I don't have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Those are easily added to other exhausts, fitting shops and parts places will sell you a weld-in Lambda Sensor boss for about £9, or 5 minutes with a hacksaw at the scrappy and a couple of quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastcard Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Pete, I seem to remember fom my LSE days that the 4.2 front Y pipe is where they added the extra 8 inches, so mating it could be an issue (even assuming it exits in the same place and has the same boss as Rimmer headers ). I came to the same conclusion as Mark90 in that you could spend a lot of time finding bits and fabricating something yourself - guess how I know! Another option is to just get a SS (or mild steel) mid-box made up that will connect your Y piece to the rest of your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
