minivin Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Since plans are afoot to fit the V8 I had been planning ways of squeezing a different exhaust set-up into my 109 so that it doesn't strangle the V8. At present I think the system is an 1 5/8" tube system that is ok with a 2.25, but a 3.5 is going to be breathing through it like it's trying to blow a monkey through a hose pipe. Dunno how I found this on ebay, but did, and since it was reasonably cheap I decided to give it a go: Ebay Stainless Silencer It's a Stainless Steel tubed silencer, with a Polycarbonate casing, which could cause issues of not taking a beating when off road, however as I don't intend bumping my truck over nasty objects trying to force there way into items under my truck that shouldn't be an issue for me It's a straight throw absorbtion baffle set-up with I think stainless steel wire wool packing, I went for the biggest one so that hopefully it will absorb as much exhuast noise energy before it reaches the back of my truck. Got it for £27 inclusive of P&P, it's 50mm OD pipe so should happily mate-up with the rest of the system dimensions, and thinking of pooking it through the trailer socket hole in the MIL rear cross member. Might be of interest to other people, or if you think it's too flimsy (dunno, will find out!) does anyone else have any alternatives within the same price bracket?
