Is the fitment to the mid section the same though and is the mid section the same? That's all that really matters for cross compatibility really
The centre section is a different shape, but I suspect the where the back box meets the centre section could well be the same. I've also seen some Td4's with twin outlets, I assumed they had been fitted as replacements as opposed to factory fitment.
If this is the case, then ether box will fit TD4 or V6 and maybe even the L series? The 1.8 has a different pipe diameter though.
Maybe someone could check the part number on there box?

52 plate td4 with twin tail pipes
Interesting. I'm going to see if my V6 still has the part number on it. It's possible that the factory fitted what they had to the TD4. I've seen single and twin outlets on the TD4 but only ever seen twin outlets on the V6.

I assume the potential air flow on the v6 is greater than the td4. The v6 has 3 cats. 1 in the middle and 2 at the front, 1 for each bank of 3 cylinders.
Peeps have said in the past LR used the larger v6 bear barrel on the td4 when they ran out of the smaller one. It was discussed a while ago on another fred.

Suppose I now need to know if the connection to the mid pipe is the same... Although the speculation that LR simply used whatever box they had would suggest that the connection is the same, the middle section is the same, its just the downpipes from the manifolds which are different...

So by the looks of that, every box has the same slip joint fitting bar the K16 from 1A000001
If thats the case, yes the box will be interchangable for all models bar that one
Thanks Jedi.

With the exception of the 1.8 petrol. They use a smaller diameter pipe.

Images of how poor the ground clearance is on the 2004-2006 MK1 Freelander TD4 'Sport' (using the standard backbox),and why I think Simon's (SES88) custom compact back boxes are a good idea, for those undecided.
Vehicle ground clearance dimensions:
Approx 10 inches from sill to floor at center of car (nb: center prop-shaft is lower than floor of car).
Approx 6.5 inch at rear of vehicle from bottom of factory back box to floor (too little).
Factory TD4 exhaust dimension.
Approx 8.25 inch factory back box height (too tall).
So fitting a compact back box would certainly gain valuable ground clearance if going off-road.

:lol:
I remember when mine was that low.
I have an extra 100mm now more than the Sport, with the lift kit and tyres combined, but the rear box is still too low and far back.
I need steps to get in mine

I find the tow bar hits the ground long before the rear box does
Depends what you drop off really
I'll sort out PM's with payment details for the list I have later on today, need to decide how many extra I'll make, definitely one, maybe two.
