Fruit_uk Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I am looking for the following from my 300TDI Defender: to use the space where the rear exhaust box is for gear storage and to get a bit of extra zip from the engine will fitting a gwyn lewis (or similar do this) but will the draw back be a v noisy vehicle or anything else I have missed?

Guest l90truck Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 you could try power flow they make it how you want it and at a very good price there are centers all over the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fender1234 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 i had a local exhaust place do mine and it was cheaper and saved me the job of trying to fit a kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l90truck Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 i put the d44 surround on and powerflow made a pipe to fit and fitted it from the centerbox for £60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newclear Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 l90truck, Do you not find that heats up the Rear wheel arch on long drives? I looked at having mine exit there but was nervous about the wheel arch melting with it being plastic. Anyone have any other problems with removing the rear box? I guess the centre silencer filters it enough for the MOT? Cheers Matt EDIT: I see now that is where the Gwyn Lewis Version exits so it must be fine - Anyone have the price of the GL Variant? Notice it's not on the website... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks906 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 if your gettin one made get it made so it sticks out slightly about 1" or 2" this will get rid of the heat an also you wont end up with a big black stain down the back side like i do but then mine is slighly tweaked up so black clouds are always a problem dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
