Replacement Exhuast Systems And Sections

Pete · 7th March 2018, 20:47

Hello all,

As we all know, replacing rotten old exhaust systems can be a bit of a pain. You can opt to go for a stainless steel system of course, which will last for many years, but for some just putting in a new section is all that's required.

The tricky bit is trying to find replacement sections that are the same, or very close, patterns to that fitted by the factory. ebay always seems to have adverts that contain pics of what looks like the correct shape part but underneath will be the tell-tale caveat; item may differ from the image shown. And then you end up with the traditional oval back box.

Well, Klarius can provide replacement parts that look the same or as close as makes no difference, and from personal experience on my v6 appear to keep the exhaust note the same too.

Getting their parts is pretty easy as they are stocked by most factors, and you can find the right part by using their catalogue. Just download it here

Hope this is of some help!

Unfortunately they only last about 2-3 years, but that's probably no different to any other mild steel system available.

Before fitting I gave mine several coats of silver HT paint. So far it's looking as good as the day it went on, which was about 2 years ago. Of course, that paint doesn't protect the insides, but it's better than nothing.

Exactly - the major aggressive environment is the inside one. Especially for cars with LPG fuel systems.
That`s why I choose the second hand genuine rear exhaust for John Silver.
For ~ £18.00
Stainless steel ones are... I have no kidney to sell

I put a Klarius on mine and, while better than some others, it still booms away at under 2500rpm (which, with a V6 auto doing little motorway driving, is the band it spends most of its time in). Redhill Classics have told me a stainless cat-back would be about £350 all in. I'll see what sort of job they do for the same thing on the Outlander and then maybe save up to have the 75 done too.
