Diesel 182 Exhaust??

[jnymris]

Hey people,

I'm currently driving a 1.5 DCI (52 plate) due to a 60 mile trip per day to work the the mpg is doing me well !

Looking at the 182 i love the dual exhaust, Is it possible to change the rear bumper and exhaust just be swapping them over? will it cause any issue? I'm under the impression diesels use the exhuast in a number of different ways compared to a petrol, any potential issue i might occur (mot/emissions?)

On another note, if anyone has any suggestions to stop it sounding like a tractor that would be helpful !

Regards

Johnny

You'll need a replica exhaust that goes around the wheel well. 182s don't have a wheel well so the exhaust goes straight through the middle of the car.


but the bumper can be changed easy enough

K-Tec sell a 182 style exhaust for non Sport ph2's, no idea if it'll work on a DCi though.

Edit : Just seen you have a Mk3, so probably not.

More trouble that it's worth imo

stick a 182 bumper on it and get a custom place to make you up an exhaust similar to the k-tec one!

You're blind drunk again.

As above, either get the k-tec one or one similar made up.
