exhaust for sd33t

Post by 84mksd33t »

hey guys

need to do the exhaust on my 84mk patrol SWB

sd33t

I currently got the stock exhaust minus the muffler (it met my angle grinder just under the passenger seat :twisted:

I want a 3" rom turbo back to my diff - then maybe 4" from there out...

Should i run a muffler? Or not? I am thinking of even getting a rice cannon to take the piss a little bit :P

I am doing the mandrel system regardless...

What would the legalities be of running a sidepipe?

I love the sound of it without a muffler - its like music to my ears :)

Sidepipe has to vent on the driver's side, and must be past the last internal seam of the body (to prevent fumes coming back into the cab)

and no muffler! :armsup:

Best size would be a 3" eh?

Should i run the resonator in the middle of the system? OR at the rear?

Should i order a resonator from ebay? or just use what the exhaust shop suggests?

I still want it to sound like a truck, the sd33t sounds gorgeous :)

Funny

Funny timing - I have a 3 inch mandrel bent straight thru with no mufflers zorst I took off my 84 SWB turbo diesel this weekend hey.... only had it a few months but sounded hot - rev's came up easily and it was smoother all round - I had mine dump just over the diff, not too noisy but had a nice note and good whistle to it I must admit!..... now I don't have a turbo diesel so PM me if you wanna buy it.... I will sell it off cheap as ey.

2.5 inch is still a tad restrictive compared to 3 inch but you sure can notice the difference hey.

I have a 1986 Mk LWB SD33T I am currently running a 2.5" straight through pipe with a hotdog on it.. It sounds like a Mac truck... very beefy sounding and the turbo whine through the hotdog sounds awesome !!!
