New exhaust anyone ?

[TJC46]

Spotted this on ebay.

Dont think its a genuine one as the pipes to the silencer are way too long.

Maybe somebodys made a copy and left the pipes to be "cut to suit"

Anyway just a heads up.

Interesting! They may not be way too long, there is no oval section in front of the rectangular box and that section is pretty long. Could be noisy!!!

Hmmmm....

Interested....but if anyone has a particular need for this then I wont get involved and increase the price for you... let me know

[glenrobbo]

I am going to bid on it Andy. It's only about 45 mins from me. I think it may need a bit of work to quieten it down though.

[AutoAndy]

It's all yours Glenn.

Note I took the oval section off of mine and just have the square box.... and I can assure you it's not too noisy! .... so you may not need to modify it at all

Let me know Glen if your successful. Its about 10 mins from me and I travel back and to from work in a transit van.
Could pick it up and arrange delivery as I am only at Carrington so not too far from Stockport.

I think you may ahve a more youthful attitude to what is noisy Andy!! I have heard your car, nice though and it does go!

My original exhaust had the oval bit removed. Wasn't really any louder, but did seem to lose a bit of definition to the exhaust note over the current one.

[AutoAndy]

It's so tempting at the bargain price but it's not me that is putting the price up - promise

[glenrobbo]

Wow! That was a big jump at the end!
No, I didn't get it. Thanks lads for the offers of help, especially Tom for the kind offer of TJC Darkside Logistics support!

Good luck to whoever won it, it's still cheap at that price.

I wonder who it was....

[AutoAndy]

Wasn't me... sat and watched it. Feel quite drained now

[upperthong]

Twas me. Desperately needed this to stop mine sounding like a box of spanners. Calms down after 15 mins or so but think the internals are knackered. Hopefully this will solve it.
Will try it without my oval box to start with.

Congratulations Upperthong, You should have posted on here first, it might have saved you a few £££s. I would have deferred to an S'er in greater need.

My S3c's front oval section has started resonating quite badly on the overrun, it seems that the internal section breaks up and vibrates against the inside of the outer casing.
It was the same with my replacement S1 exhaust ( bought on ebay and fitted for the last trip to Spa. ) The noise was awful Not especially loud, just awful! All the time!

[upperthong]

Thanks Glenn.
Didn't spot it until very late ........................ 2 hours-ish to go. And hadn't seen your thread.
Oh well, like you say, still very cheap. And more so since I desperately need it.

[glenrobbo]

Had a very helpful message from ebay to say even though I missed out on this item, they have plenty more similar items, e.g. BMW 3 Series rear silencer.... Land Rover Defender full system....etc.
Very useful, I should be able to cobble something to fit an S from those.


Rather more helpfully, cnsukltd have messaged me to say they will be auctioning another S2/3 exhaust on Monday.
Anyone else really need one? If not, I'll have another go...
