By ekh that's not cheap is it
Mine will prob look a bit funny without a valance thing as everything has one these days
There off a newish Mercedes of some sort

So I offered him a cash bung to take them off his hands
Forty five shelkels I am going to look a right w*** when I get those glued on
All The others on there are loco coco prices

Roof rails my mpg is sh*t enough already without those

used 60mm scaffolding tube
Five metric metres ten quid
Cash
Limbak ,fetch me the aldi welder,angle grinder,oven gloves and my yellow turtle neck

Are you doing something with the exhaust? I'm intrigued

[bigjohnthomas]

Just plumbing those tail pipes up with 3m of scaffold tube
It will make it go faster you know

[Altransit]

Scaffold tubes are good for 25 BHP each

[loot]

Aren't they heavy tho?

[bigjohnthomas]

there not that bad I'd say about 1.5 - 2mm thick

Well when I say 1,5 more like 2.5
Allcock engineering will be "fabricating " a y piece and some bends after a good drink later

[bigjohnthomas]

It would appear that cutting the end of the exhaust off to measure it . ,(you know the bit that points down to keep hot gases away from the plastic bumper ) has made the bumper melt a bit
So as soon as I finish this can of spesh I will turn the empty tin into a alcoholic deflector to stop any more melting

Is this exhausts diameter much bigger than what is fitted? Have you spoken to puma engineers to find out the flow rate required to allow the correct back pressure? Have you informed your insurance and dvla? Is there a fire extinguisher bolted close by with a safety certificate and do you have the correct fire training to use it?
Will the emissions decrease the fuel economy and efficiency of the diesel particulate systems? Have you informed the relevant government bodies about this? Is the exhaust type approved for use on public roads?

There's a lot more to it these days you can't just weld something on and away you go.


I think I've solved the mirror conundrum and it may just be 1 solitary relay required, done some tests but need a few more.

That's when i inform the right............
And acquire the right..........

[bigjohnthomas]

its the same outside diameter as standard (60mm ) just splits in to 2
Carefully gas flowed by allcock engineer's ass gas dynamics department

Have you looked up your exhaust btw there's no black sooty stuff mines all shiny and clean

Just a relay for the mirror job ? So I don't need to order that thing from China

I'll get back to you on that but until i add my relay i can't be sure but it looks almost too simple

[bigjohnthomas]

Have you done it yet loot ?

Meanwhile in the bottom shed
The allcock performance scaffold tube exhaust 1000 is being carefully and painstakingly
Bodged together

[bigjohnthomas]

The hundred kilogram "exhaust"
One side done

The hundred kilogram "exhaust"
One side done

Did you get permission from the boss for tinkering?

[loot]

Did something similar with my ford focus............
