Hi, I need a new exhaust for my 300Disco. I'd like a performance system so can anybody give me any help and advice on systems. I believe the Janspeed is good but Twisted performance claim to be more expensive but better. Help please. :(

see if there is a good exhaust(chav) centre near you. I had a custom system made for me at much less than the cost of an 'off the peg' they built it to go where I wanted and up out of the way.

Rimmer Brothers also make a stainless sports exhaust for the 300 TDi.
I've got a Rimmer Bros stainless system on my Disco and it's still looking good after 4 years in the salt air we have up here. I also had their sports system on my old Rangie and that made a lovely sound and seemed to make slight difference to the performance.  :wink:

I'm sure I've seen someone who either makes a kit to bring the tailpipe out through the rear wing, just behind the mudflap bracket, or they just make the wing mounting.
Anyone know who it is as I'd be interested in mod'ing my tailpipe to keep it clear.  :wink:

It has to be said (sorry) that the words 'performance exhaust' and 'land rover tdi' are not natural bedfellows ;-)

Don't expect huge power gains from adding a big pipe to a Disco... it will sound louder though, so you might get the feeling that you are going quicker :-)

:D that is very true tim it is very much erelevent the power gain on its own but when matched with the inter cooler and a wee bit fiddling on pump then it does tend to all work together and im sure that a standard exhaust system for a 200 tdi could not put up with the streeses of escaping gasses a thus it would work against you and not release enough gas flow which in turn would upset somethink in the engine i would expect

the ramps the pic on are at a company called high-track on geddington road corby near scania dealership thats were i go get a proper wash after playing 25 quid all in takes about 1.5 hrs need to book in though

need to sort that long pipe out still anyone no what the mot law is in regards to the length of pipe that i have to have or can i just cut her shorter been told that it has to travel to the rear of vehicle the only side exit exhaust ive seen have only been on comp trucks that are normall trailerd to events

their is a rule, i think to cant end under the vehicle has to either come somewhere, so as to get the fuumes away from the car rather than filling the cabin up, can get this confirmed if you need, mates an mot tester

gonna be making a side exit exhaust for mine soon , well it already comes out the side , so what i really mean is a little higher up so that it comes thru a hole in the rear quarter panel.

just working out the best way to do it without bodging it.

Think everyone is loosing the point, I was asking about what exhaust to use for better power. Is it better to have a single box system or keep a twin box one? I like the various arguments for the rear / side exit systems but this is trivial really. Can anyone help?

Not everyone... I said not to expect much in the way of power gains from any exhaust system on a tdi engine.

1, 2, none... I doubt it will make a hugely noticable difference, so go with whatever you think sounds nicest :-)

several points on that one beggars.  Single box is cheaper!Power gains  depend on how much flow the boxes have versus the one box. If you go to the right system one box with less restirction will flow better as the exhaust gasses wont change direction as often.One box is easier to route out of the way of all the transmission.
So I would go for, and have,only one muffler.
Hope that helps.

Many thanks everyone. Does anyone know if the Janspeed is a single box system or a twin and has anyone tried it. I like the sound of the twisted performance system but it's more expensive but the boys there say the quality is so much better, just got to weigh up the odds then bite the bullet. I only want to buy 1 system and there expensive so I want to make the right one. Thanks again everyone.

To be honest i paid just under 400 for a full stainless system, custom made, fitted. I looked into the janspeed,as i have a v8 not a diesel, and wasnt that impressed. I have spent a lot of time around engines over the years and dont fall for advertisers speil. If you have a good place near you you will get the same or better result for less....and you wont have to fit it either..which is always a crappy job.

The Rimmer Brothers TDi Sports exhaust I suggested earlier is only £189 from the downpipe/cat backwards if money's a problem, and it's stainless.  :wink:
