Hello,

You know how people are prepared to pay a lot of money for a down pipe when retro-fitting a 200tdi disco engine into a deepender, what would be wrong with grinding the original down pipe down leaving a short piece (like a stub) and then simply using some of that flexible metal chimney / flue tubing to mate it to the through pipe? Would it work without causing any problems?

Cheers

I'm not going ahead just yet, but thats the only thing I was worried about, other than that it'd be fairly simple really and I'd favor the flexi pipe!

you aint got alot of room tho pos , remember it drops virtical from the turbo and then go'es around the starter .. and you still have to move the clutch hose .... i just found it simpler to get the down pipe as i only live about ten miles from parkers gaff ...

i'd be interested to see what you come up with tho...
