Stainless exhaust pictures.


Recommended Posts

I just happen to have a Griffin SS silencer bunged in the shed surplus ;)

got any dimensions?

i dont know how to work out what i need.. as it needs a over axle like bend for the gearbox cross member. and the over axle bit is also weird.

When I built my 110 with a 300 tdi motor I kept the Janspeed Stainless system from my old Discovery and bought some straights and bends from Jetex in stainless and modified it to suit. Basically added 10" of straight before first silencer and took about 4" out from before the back box. Nice 63mm system now. Welded fine with mild steel mig.

Sorry only pic I have.

For some reason my picture cannot be shown!

If you're unsure exactly of the bend, they also do a flexible part...

i found another place online which is much cheaper. http://exhaustpartsuk.com/ :i-m_so_happy:

think i may have to take a big notch out of the gearbox x-member or make another one out of 100x50x3mm box. :glare:

**edit**

it also seems to be impossible to fit a 3" exhaust as the turbo output is only 40mm and the flange pdc is 72mm.

Not the best pics but the exhaust is good quality and seams to perform well but have only been on a 3 mile run so far.

How did you find their hanging system? What are the joint clamps like?

I assume the multiple parts makes it easier to fit and adjust than the full size pieces of a standard exhaust?

Appologies for all the questions

It was quite easy to fit, I started at the manifold and worked my way back leaving all the clamps loose. The pipe slots togeather and is a very good fit.

Clamps are good quality and the hangers worked well. The hardest part was getting the hangers on the rubbers.

Where it goes over the back axile there was a hanger bracket which was not used on my one, in total 3 hangers were used - one each side of the silencer and one at the tail pipe. The hangers at the silencer are part of the clamps which are U Bolts (like a standard clamp).

Where it bolts to the manifold the flange is able to turn so you can position well then clamp up.

The clamps are all like this

Hope you can see these :glare:

Does look good. Only thing that worries me about those systems is sleeves are so hard to get apart without damage as opposed to flanges. Sooner or later you have to remove it (especially a long life system like that) to get at something behind it. Are the clamps all stainless?

I wonder why more companies dont use these:

Audi use them as standard across their range, and they're bloody awesome. The exhaust sections themselves are just plain pipe, no flared or swaged sections. You simply slide that clamp over the two parts and tighten.

More importantly, because its like a spring, when you unbolt it 12 years later, it just goes loose, at most you just need to give it a little gentle persuasion with a hammer and it just slides along the pipe.

Thought I should updae this thread.

Double S remade the rear section of the exhaust without compression bends and it does look a lot better. However I had whilst this was all going on decided to go for a Griffin Performance system.

Anyway here's a couple of photos showing them.

Those pipes look world's apart, quality wise.

I am inclined to agree with the above comments regarding the need to remove sections of pipe to access other parts of the truck. Those parallel slip joints are a mare to get apart. Been there, done that :angry:

I know what you mean about slip joints, on a previous car I had to cut the pipe off to remove and then seperate the joint with extreme prejudice once I had got it cherry red. Hopefully these won't be so bad and there are plenty of joints to choose from ......

Nice choice, thought it would be louder than it is but still a nice note and I am happy with my one.

I do need to do some slight adjustment as it has started to knock on the gear box cross member when on rough roads.

Sadly it is not so shiney now..... :i-m_so_happy:

what you going to do with the old one? sell it on cheap? :ph34r:

I will be selling the Double S system on, however I think old is a bit of a misnomer in this case :P

Two sections have had half an hours use and the mandrel bent rear section has never been fitted so I reckon it still has some life left in it ;)

Obviously it won't have the lifetime warranty with it, however the Double S warranty is only valid if you take it to an exhaust specialist every year, have it fully checked over and the warranty card signed .... so in my opinion is worthless.

I notice that there are some companies round me who do custom pipes, presumably using a variety of pre-made sections that they TIG weld together, and they seem to be decent prices too.....

I'm not ready yet - but worth considering against the pre-made options.
