Hi all,
I currently have a complete straight through exhaust system on my Defender 200Tdi. I made the rear section myself and when flat out at high revs it has proven to be just a bit too loud. So one day i decide to make a new rear section using the little silencer box found on the mid pipe of the standard 200Tdi exhaust system. This didn't turn out well and made the drive almost unbearable inside the truck as it made the exhaust note into a deep droning sound, so rather quickly i swapped back to the straight pipe which surprisingly is very quite inside the truck.
Anyway i noticed when listening to a completely straight piped Td5 and Td5 straight piped only up to the small back box that the small back silencer only really takes the raspyness and harsh noises away from the exhaust note, while still leaving the grunty straight piped sound.
So my question is can the Td5 rear exhaust section fit my Defender 200Tdi without too much modification? I don't really want to buy one and find out i will have to modify the centre pipe as it is stainless steel, i'd still like the option to fit my straight pipe rear section back on if i ever want to.
