  • Exhaust question

    Hi,

    The last part of my exhaust , a piece of pipe and the back box just fell off my kzn130 3L 2nd gen surf.

    The exhaust just finishes now after snaking over the back axle and you can see it the ugly end through the rear wheel arch, strangely I cannot hear much difference.

    MOT is due, so its time to replace it anyhow ("you'll need to replace it before the next MOT" said TonyN at my last big service - he must have put a timer on it ).

    I looked in my old Milners cat, and they say 140 quid for a replacement - funny, cant find the back box on their website ...

    Anyhow to my questions, I am on a tight budget now for a few months, so:

    Is it feasible to get the entire back part of an exhaust from a breaker?
    Is that part of the exhaust the same for a 2.4L 2nd gen Surf?

    Thanks all.

    [edit]
    Actually, I just tried ebay and they are much cheaper... so might not be worth it at all ... what do you think?

      I will crawl under and see if there are any other gas escapes, rust holes and noiises, or I will get it into a local exhaust place this week if pos and see what kind of weird inflated reading they give me on how much needs replacing.

      Lots of tsk's, and shakes of heads no doubt.

      Cheers

        As my other post states. i'm having a side exit stainles lifetime guarantee system from the downpipe back done for £180 if that muddies the waters at all. However this system may be noticeably louder than standard!

            think its called 1 stop or something like that. Anywho they're the local powerflow dealer in Crewe.

            Think they like it cos its so stupidly simple to do, and yes it is from the downpipe back (leaving the existing downpipe in, but replacing the flexi section and everything else back from it)

            cheers,

              afternoon all

              if you ring milners, they are having an exhaust sale. I bought a complete system form them in the summer for less than £160 delivered. If I remember right, the back box is about £32.00.

              If the silencer is OK you could just get som straight pipe, bend it to suit & weld it onto the ragged bit that's left

              hpe this helps

                3.0 exhaust is bigger bore than a 2.4 from the down pipe back.
                Also try looking at local exhaust places for a price on a 4runner UK spec exhaust.
                When my 2.4 exhaust went i sourced one for a UK 3.0 4runner it fitted fine and was cheaper from a local place than milners etc.
                Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.
