The 300tdi I have now has a straight through exhaust, no silencer or cat.

Sounds nice too. 8)

not came across the early front pipe for the discovery will have a look in the exhaust books at work tomorrow,the cheaper option is to cut the flexi out and replace it with a new one (its knackered)and straight pipe to the rear box section ,hope its noisy enough :twisted:

Yea thanks for that dave very much appreciated for doing my car today. Just found out that the prop stafts have greese nipples on them so they took a full tube of greese me thinks they have never been greesed before. and the car even had a boyracer turn and look at it as i drove passed :lol: so it must sound nice at revs :lol:
