Stainless steel mid pipe

[T30CDB]

Ive just got hold of a new td5 alive mid silencer replacement pipe . when replacing do i need new gaskets for the joints or do i use exhaust paste stuff. Any advice would be much appreciated  :)

There is only one gasket, between mid and rear section (joint with three nuts), replace if you can, but if not use old one with some paste on it.

ive just swopped mine on a tdci defender its the same exhaust from the cat back. i replaced the mid to rear gasket with the correct one its only a few pence.

have you got nuts and bolts for the new pipe, as the studs in the original wont come out.

Yep cheers for that advice i guessed i would as i had to hack saw three of them off. All fitted now and sounding good. Shame to put any silencer in at all :(

Yes, that would be a shame they do sound very nice. my vote dont bother with silencers at all. thats how mine will end up (straight through from the cat with side exit). :twisted:

Passes  :twisted:

They only really test emmisions not noise levels.

All though you may find it a bit too noisey for everyday use.

I put a sports utility on our 300 TDi and I notice it's a lot noisier now, no more economical though :?

Another vote for NO silencers, my 300tdi sounds great without them and side exit too  :twisted:

[littlepow]

Can't really hear the exhaust over the tyes when cruising at 60mph.

[topless matt]

damn thats a shame, im going to get the same tyres ae you

[littlepow]

Don't worry you can hear it when you accelerate!

[topless matt]
