Exhaust Cat Mod - Sleeve or Flange

[leeds2592]

Hi all,

Basically my Piper exhaust is blowing like f**k from the olive joint I think. It's also sagging pretty bad at this joint too.

The Piper is already sleeved so should I just get a pipe welded to the cat and clamp it or get a pipe welded to the cat as well as a flange on either side to bolt together?

This is how my exhaust looks at the moment.

Get your local exhaust workshop to do the below. Remove the olive joint all together for a large bore. (original link - http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=252&model=6)

Are you a thousand percent sure it's blowing at the join and not at the cat? Mine was at the cat so I put a new one on it. If you get rid of that silencer that'll stop it sagging too haha.

Pretty sure it's the olive joint. It was blowing already but when me and dannnnnn2973636283 fitted my scenic shifter, we only put it back together quickly as I knew it needed sorting anyway.

If there's any other holes on the cat etc, I'll just get them to weld them up whilst they're there ha

@Bear Head have you removed the silencer of yours? How much louder does it make it?

 

[M.C..]

I did mine last year makes the exhaust sit much better with no blowing or sag.

That looks spot on. Think I'll just go with it sleeving, looks much easier than getting a flange welded on.

Now do I remove the silencer or not?

I bought a scorpion centre silencer delete mate and it sounds lovely. Takes all the weight out of the centre haha urmm, a bit louder. If you imagine it makes the sound travel more but the decibels aren't any louder if you get me?

I'm just gonna get it taken off. If it's too loud for my liking, I'll just keep the silencer and get it put back on.

Now just to get it booked in!
