P38 Exhaust

Paul Wootton · Dec 13, 2023

Well gave up trying to buy a single pipe so purchased various pipe sections and made my own,all welded to form a single pipe from the silencer.
Results are a better pick up of throttle response and instead of an average 12.1mpg it is now 13.3mpg,well worth the effort and I dont care if people think its not a V8,it has not increased the noise level with the standard centre silencer only.

Just a follow up,the single pipe section for the 2.5 is not a direct fit to the V8,tried it and it differs,could be altered if you want a second silencer.

No, I think there are 2 different ones for the v8 too. The diesel auto is different from the manual at the front and of course the older vehicles only have 1 pipe.

Don t quote me on it ..bit has been said that single exhausts help engines make more torque...and twin ones help you pick it up n push it like a wheelbarrow ...

That’s an old Skoda joke, from when they were Soviet-made.
You could double their value by filling up the petrol tank.
