A short while ago I had to replace the front pipe on my exhaust and after posting pictures it appeared I had some kind of unseen version, no matter all fixed now. I have thought about picking a spare up from ebay so searching around I have come across thishttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ford-Transit-exha ... dZViewItem now this seems even wierder than the pipe on my 'old' system, what is the big bulge part? As I am sure apart from that bulge it would fit.

mate thats a TD downpipe with a cat !

[MarkM]

Ok so useful as a spare on a non turbo? Or does the cat throttle too much power so is needed on the Turbo to compenstate? If it is then I doubt I will win this now that I have 'shared' the link

Click the link as the seller thinks its a NON Turbo

Its defo a cat in they pipe so it will fetch top dollar I would have thought, wont be much good on a non-turbo, if its even the same length

if it went cheap enouph you could cut the cat out! but i think the diameter of the flange is difrent on the turbo pipes!

Is isn't just the turbos that had cats!

Quite correct, but the size(diameter) makes me think its a turbo pipe, could be wrong

its not a turbo pipe as the angle of the flange is wrong, this is for a 70 or 76 ps but ive never seen one with a cat b4, ive seen turbos with cats but not n/a

The owners manual for the Mk5 lists all the diesel engines with and without CATS, I think it may have something to do with Euro emissions.
