disco-shane Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi guys, here is my problem.... I have a 1993 disco 200tdi and the centre exhaust box just fell off.... I want to de-box it so I looked online. Plenty of 1994 300 tdi straight through pipes but no 1993 200tdi My question is.....how different are they? Will it fit? Why is 300tdi straight pipe half the price of the 1 and only 200tdi straight pipe? I'm at a loss and help would be appreciated lots. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwhacker Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hello there Get the diameter of the two open ends and the length in between with an overlap for both ends to slip over. Go to your local motor factors and get a price for a piece of exhaust plus 2 ex/clamps,it might be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco-shane Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Yeah its £21 + extra for the clamps for a 2.5" straight pipe or £28 for the custom made direct fit 300tdi one. I just need to know if 300tdi and 200tdi are same boxes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco-shane Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Ok so I go the pipe for the 300tdi.... Its the right diameter and the right length BUT the front and rear of my original fastened on with a 2 bolt butt up joint arrangement...(olive??)...... now this one is ok at the front but the rear is a push on affair.... Oh well bit of modification for me I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBolton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I did the same...bought a centre replacement plus rear box for my 200tdi...all I had to do was use 2 bolts to join the front to the down pipe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco-shane Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I didn't buy the backbox as mine looks almost new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBolton Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 tbh I bought both as it was only like £50 and I couldn't get any answers about fitting it on a 200tdi...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco-shane Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Lol...I nearly did that and I wish I had as it turns out its only £40 for both ...... Bloody fool am I. Oh well live n learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBolton Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 lol if it makes you feel any better I ended up removing it a month later when my mates full stainless system became available lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco-shane Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Ha ha,im probably not keeping the disco long enough to put stainless pipes on. But well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The 200 mid box is just a straight pipe. I replaced mine with a peice of 2.5" tube welded between the original ends. Cost about £5. Only any good if you weld though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
