Hi every one
As every one on here will know the L 322 V8 petrol as a one piece exhaust system ,can anyone point me in the right
direction as I am thinking of replacing the all system on mine some companies say they do complete systems only to
find they don.t I would rather fit a system that is in parts for ease of assembly .
Been shopping round factors and alike ,do you think its a main dealer job , I have a company about 60 mile away that
say they can make up a system but cant supply front pipes and cats any idea's thanks

What's the reason you need to change the exhaust on it?
Or do you "want to"?

I've got a 2005 Supercharged and wanted a bit more audible V8 burble (without being OTT)
Got some tail pipes off ebay, to replace the humongous back box. They have very small silencers built it (not quite straight through pipes) cut the back box off and re-attach these rear silencers and re fit on the hangers.

So it's still got the cats fitted and the mid silencers.
Definitely sounds a lot more throaty. If you boot it about everywhere, it would be a bit too loud for me for everyday use, But the way I use it it's fine (the kids love it

Yes it was apparently a 1 piece but they do a clamp available as standard to replace sections, LR obviously have a special tool for the job, but clamps are available. Mentioned In manual.

As for a full system I can’t help. But if they do clamps for part sections

Al, just finished coating the last caliper with hammerite.

The question is, Any ideas how to get this damn yellow paint off my hands now ???? White spirits not touching it and stinks.

The sausage and egg mcmuffin was tasty this morning though
