Exhaust rules and regs

[turbo-tom]

going to put a side exhaust on my sj (3.5inch tip) , plan is going to come up through the rear floor and exit in out the rear wing near the boot

but aparently you cant get a mot with it this high ? and i wont be aable to get one as its on the pavment side when driving down the road.. so is there a certain hight it needs to go at ? but i have seen a few bland rovers do this

seen this but would this be legal ?


i know parrot had a side exhaust on his fourtrak/madtrak/tomb raider thing whatever it got called but how did that get through a mot

[lazy rambler]

Where did you hear that, I've seen loads of landies with them on pavement side and higher than it'd be on an SJ.

Just find a good MOT tester! ha

Never head it being a problem, like said loads of landies!

[turbo-tom]

yeah thats what i thought , and me dads mate said it who has been in the motor trade ever since day dot, so what do i do ?

[turbo-tom]

hopefully im going to make it come out of the rear wing around about weighst hight

Personally I don't think there is any better place for the exhaust than where they are as standard.

Damn right scott! My only annoyance with the standard place is the bend they put at the end.

It just means that if you reverse into something it will snap the pipe out of the box!

simple cut the bend off

Then when you're stationary the gas gets in

I think the best thing to do with the exhaust is to take the manifold, put that on, and nothing else.
