Need a new exhaust for my V8
« on: August 02, 2008, 19:26:04 »
Hello all,

The middle box on my 96 Disco V8 has gone (blowing), and I need to replace it.  The Disco is totally standard and does a lot of motorway miles so quiet is important.............having said that, I would like to add a little bit of vrooooom to the exhaust note (but nothing silly).

Any suggestions please, or should I just stick a standard off-the-shelf exhaust on from my local Quick Fit?

Thanks.

That's interesting.... Does that go in place of the centre box?  How much louder is it?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks for the replies.  After having a good old poke around underneath at my local LR garage, I have decided to go for a standard box (£100 fitted) as I do a lot of motorway miles in this motor, and keeping it quiet is important (I travel over 500 miles everytime I see my children).

Once the exhaust needs replacing on the 110 V8, that's a different matter!  Two straight through pipes would go well on that!  :twisted:
