Quagmire Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Hi guys, Can anyone identify the rusty pipework including y-section in the attached photos? For reference the new parts shown are NTC1863 and NTC1864 which are 3.5 EFI non cat pipes. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Label kinda says it realy! It might fit if the Blue label y piece is used as well as thr bends seem in the right place but the y is not long enough?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 So are you saying that the pipe configurations for these headers was the same across various vehicles and its just that Britpart can't make them come out the same?

missingsid Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 To be honnest my comment is not that helpful as I don't know for sure but it looks to me that they came up with a cut price version of the old system that only works as if you buy the whole thing? I am currently trying to work out why my replacement RRC ront discs are 5mm too deep in the bell, same problem as you kind of are they the right part number and badly made or are they for something completely different? I am assuming that you are looking for a replacement of the original but are confused by the replacement being different? If this is incorrect I will stay out of the post?

Quagmire Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Ideally I was looking for something along the lines of: "it is common knowledge that the rusty ones in your pictures were fitted to Range Rover/Disco's on the first Tuesday and 2nd to last Friday of each month, and that the new parts shown are what was fitted to everything else, unless it was someone's birthday or happened to be a leap year - in which case a third variant was used." We just happen to have these knocking around and would like to know what the differences are (or if there should be any).

missingsid Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 OK so looking at std RRC and Disco 3.5 and 3.9 they all look like the old one as far as I can tell so this would tend to suggest that the Blue label ones are cheap copies? Hopefully smeone will confirm dispell this, sorry should have stayed out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MECCANO Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 yours looks more like 3.9/4.2 range rover manual pipes. http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID009276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
