Hi All ,havent been here for a while............
I need to replace parts /complete exhaust system. Im alarmed by the cost,so am trying to identify what I need either s/hand or new to avoid ordering mistakes.I have a Y reg bus with 1.9 wbx engine and 4 spd g/box.
Ive looked in the Haynes manual but both early and late system diagrams dont match mine! I appear to have the l/hand side manifold pipes converging to a side by side dual outlet. Ditto the r/hand side. These outlets sit about 4" to the rear of the engine x member,one left ,one right. Then I have a pair of pipes from each dual outlet arranged so that they converge into a 4 way outlet to which the transverse mounted silencer end is bolted .The silencers I have seen all appear to bolt straight to the l/h and r/h dual outlets OR to the end of the silencer ,but cant see a system that has pipes from the dual outlets by the engine x member to the end of the silencer like mine!All my pipes appear 'factory' and not made up . Going away until next Monday ,so please excuse my (eventual)late reply! Im not ignoring any answers!
Any help most appreciated
Regards

I think the link to the wiki needs making in larger font

I did look at wiki,but not the same! Manifold pipes are same ,but mine has pipes to a end mounted silencer as explained. Can I just disregard the extra pipes and bolt silencer direct as per the top digram?

Could it be a bespoke exhaust?

Could be I suppose,but cant identify.Mine hasnt got the heat exchanger either. Is this only for Aircooled?

This ... is 1.9 early system, which your's should be


This ... is 1.9 late system.

Yes Aircooled only

Aha ..Im learning! Ive just looked at the custom exhaust section on wiki. The Covkid has done a conversion which looks very very similar to mine ..using a type 4 1700-2000 Aircooled pipe onto the manifolds. What 'type' 4 model is he reffering to? . Could I do away with this and fit a original type silencer direct to the manifolds?
Thanks
