BigSi110 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Anyone know of a company who sells a mid-box replacement pipe for the 110 300 Tdi? Scorpion only do one for the TD5 110 and 90 300Tdi. They say there's no demand for the 110.... so quoted me a full-system instead. Hmmm. Anyone know different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Just get your old middle silencer, cut both flanges off the ends, bolt them back in place, measure the gap between the two, then take them to an exhaust place and ask them if they'll weld a bit in. shouldn;t cost you more than a tenner.

BigSi110 Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Jim, Sound advice. Thanks! Sounds obvious but it annoyed me when I couldn't find a ready-made part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm going to do that when my zorst goes. It should decrease back-pressure, get the turbo to spin up faster and all for a small increase in noise (I hope). But my zorst is still good at 11years and 150k miles. That's the trouble with living on the highveld ps. earlier this year we fitted a turbo (from Oz) to a Nissan 4.2 six fitted to a SIIB 110" fc. We had the exhaust system made with NO silencers, and it was still quieter than the original. But apparently it is illegal in the UK to not have a silencer at all. I suppose you could make a fake one to fool the feds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Baldwin Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 On offer at Twisted Performance As Jim says, all you need is a straight piece of pipe with a couple of flanges on the ends. A no-brainer for your local exhaust maker. Shouldn't be expensive either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, I doubt if you'd feel any difference in swapping out the muffler as it's a straight through, perforated tube centre box on a 300Tdi, and is a larger ID than the exhaust pipe. FWIW, the 3" system on mine was unbearably loud sans muffler or resonator. SWMBO reckons she could hear me 5km away and the drone at 100km/h was dreadful so installed a 12" resonator right at the rear of the system. Much better.

JimAttrill Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Ah, I've never taken one apart so far, and maybe this is all conjecture as I have to wait for the zorst to rust out first, which it refuses to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
