Exhaust
Hi all,
Just read the wiki on the exhausts and interested in the motorbike end can conversion (being a biker too).
I've got a 1.9 watercooled (1990 reg). Has anyone tried this mod to theirs?
Looks like a its possible to modify a link pipe to fit any end can - and some good ones come cheap on flea bay.
Is there any markings that must/must not be on the can, or any issues for MOT purpose?
Cheers
Stewart

Re: Exhaust
Sorry to hijack, but can you get pre made modded end pipes to tidy the old iron up a bit?

Re: Exhaust
Awesome!
Wish my welding was that good
Decided to start by finding something that looked the same thickness as the panels on my van.
I now have a workshop bin full of holes

My T25 has a kawasaki end can on when i bought it so its definately possible, mine was rotten though and i couldnt match up a replacement using the codes on it.
Wont be that hard to get one though, im sure alot of big engined fourstroke exhausts will fit (racing bikes etc)
Re: Exhaust
Im currently building an exhaust for my aaz engined van
Plan to run with no silencer, just relying on the turbo to sloww down and dampen the exhaust noise
A chap local to me has a 1.9 tdi set up in a split screen pick up and it sounds great, whistles like a jet engine.
Son has also just purchsed a heavily modifeied 147 bhp Seat Leon 1.9 tdi ( re mapped etc) which also features no silencer at all-- but havent heard it it yet
will let u know how I get on

Re: Exhaust
I'm now running a gsxr can on the end of my 1991 dg motor. I bought one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT
Got the guy to make it with a 48mm slip on and 3 bolt holes with 80mm pcd. Chopped link pipe off about 40mm from join with cast knuckle slipped can on the end, notched rear valance and made a mount up to support can from pipe joining 1 and 3 cylinders and bobs your uncle. More details will follow, sounds meaty without being OTT

Re: Exhaust
I have a stainless custom built silencer, with a twin outlet, look's good and sound's fantastic, plus give's an additional 15% increase in power, direct replacement for existing silencer.
You tube type in "vw t25 t3 exhaust", it will be on a white F reg van, plus I have a spare one available for sale.
