Datatek apparently got his from here: Range Rover P38A (Second Generation) 1995-2002 Models Exhaust Parts
Look pretty good to me. At that price I think it is worth going stainless. Mine only has a single pipe. Looks like the later models maybe went to 2 pipes?
Interestingly, the twin sports pipe on the site is somewhat cheaper than the normal one! Presumably they just left the baffles out!

Ok if you have some rusty welding rods.
On the shelf next to my tin of elbow grease, just to the left of the tartan paint.

Looks pretty well goosed to be honest.

later cars had the twin pipe as standard
I contacted Stainless Steel Exhausts - Double 'S' Exhausts - Land Rover - Jaguar - Industrial Stainless Steel Exhausts direct. Very friendly and helpful and also very reasonable on price, I thought.
The only question now is: keep it looking original or convert to the rather more balanced twin pipes?!

Thanks Jacckk. That's a REALLY useful piece of information.
OK. Single pipe it is! Cheaper option all round.
Good move, it's a far amount of work and lots of bits needed to mode the pipe runs.

You sure?
Would think so Keith. Unless you wanted very warm flexi hoses on earlier lay out.

Must have a look, I know it needs additional hangers. Personally, If mine had had the single pipe, I would have fitted that but I wanted to keep it as standard.

On the earlier versions pre 1997 brake pipes came in along O/S inner chassis ran up above tank towards N/S and picked up flexis to axle two thirds way over to N/S. Clipped to axle just above diff casing. Then fed either way to caliper flexis. On later models 1997 on. One pipe goes straight to O/S caliper flexi via an additional flexi and a swan necked pipe. Other goes along chassis over between chassis and body turns forward then connects to another additional flexi and another swan neck pipe to existing caliper flexi. Presumably to make room for twin exhaust outlets.

Might be a good idea to replace the brake pipes anyway as they are prone to rust

Yes, I've been worried about that ever since Wammers discovered a disaster behind his fuel tank. I keep an eye on the fluid level and it isn't changing so guessing all fine for now.
Anyway. Single-pipe exhaust ordered, the most sensible option all around. Delivered to the door for £363 all in and should be here the day after tomorrow. A mild steel one would be £100 and I'm reasonably sure I'll get 3 times the lifespan out of it.
I never did find out what a "sports" exhaust was though, or why it is so much cheaper despite looking more complex on the outside!

I think the sports exhaust is thinner gauge and less silencing.
Double s come with a lifetime warranty with original purchaser.

They certainly needed changing on mine. I believe the design changed in 97MY. The flexis touch the exhaust where the two sides join to the centre silencer pipe.
