Which front exhaust pipe?

CakeBandit · Jul 3, 2016

I am trying to order a stainless exhaust system.
My landy is a 2a 109" Station Wagon (rear fuel tank) with Suffix C chassis 2.25L petrol. I think that makes it 1966.
Will part 517469 work? Some website say LWB ExMOD 2a others say SIII only.
There is also part 517632, but not included in the stainless package I want judging by the picture.
Here is what I am interested in. That first pipe looks suspicious.

Nobody has replied matey...so I've had a look at what it says for S3 exhausts. First observation is that the system in your picture does not look anything like a 109 exhaust system. The rear section has no box, it appears to be in the middle section. The three sections in the w'shop manual for the S3 show a relatively simple down tube and bend straight first section, a straight intermediate section and rear section with the tail pipe and box making a turn to exit at the side of the vehicle. There are various part numbers depending on the engine suffix numbers. 517469 is the part number for 109 petrol Suffix C onwards, the other one is only up to Suffix B. Hope that helps.

I thought the chassis was almost the same in all series. I went with 517632 instead, I found some websites says S2 LWB Station Wagon up to Suffix C, while the other one (517469) says military and Series 3 up to C - 109". I ended up ordering mild steel as I ran out of free time this year. Seems the stainless is built (takes 3+ weeks) to order.

Hope it fits. Not sure about chassis difference. I'd expect the chassis to be the same. Only difference I recall is that the central cross member on the military is removable.

Got the new one today. Looks like the right one.
