Thought I would post a quick thread about a discovery 1 side exit exhaust.
I've wanted one since I got rid of the ground anchor (tow bar) and fitted a fuel tank guard.
I have wanted to have a go with the MIG welder I bought last year so I thought I would have a go at using my relatively new rear section of exhaust and the old one I replaced after ripping the back box off.

Stage one: I cut the existing rear section off half way up the straight section just behind the rear axle. I jacked up the chassis to provide me room to work.

Stage two: I cut the exhaust support off

Stage three: using the leftover exhaust parts, I cut the bends I needed and arranged them to exit at the desired point.

Stage four: cut a 3" diameter hole in the lower rear wing.

Stage five: tack welded the bends together each time checking they fitted correctly! Quite time consuming.

Stage six: marked the position needed for the new exhaust section to connect to the existing section and tack welded it also tack welded the support into place ensuring that it's position enabled it to provide actual support for the exhaust.

Stage seven: removed the rear section of exhaust and welded it all up and cleaned it up (like I said I'm still learning).

Stage eight: refitted the exhaust and bolted on a no smoke no poke ring around the exhaust on the wing.


 
Nice work, I went for the easier option of fitting flexi piping....

I have now tidied up the brackets by welding on some proper ones - was being lazy trying not to have to get out the welder :rolleyes:

Using a bike tax disc holder for the trim.

Where did you get your flexi hose from?
 
Probably a stupid question ??

But is there ever any comeback / comments / legislation about putting fumes straight out and onto pavement / pedestrians ??

Discovery fires exhaust at an angle towards the pavement, as does Defender:)
 
Been through with no issues, and as long as its not blowing can't see why they would see it an issue
