Exhaust cans.... What you guys using ?

[John A. Rippingham]

Why use stainless? I've been told stainless runs hotter and may cause trouble with the manifold cracking, and exploding. I've been told this happened to a gmc that had a full stainless system.
Back in my mk2 golf days you couldn't put a full stainless system on without changing the manifold for stainless too, so i guess this was for the same reason.

For that reason i stick to steel pipes on my exhausts.

Stainless for the cans and the pipes under the carrier, the down pipes are mild steel onto the manifolds.... The exhausts won't get hot enough to cause issues... I have ran stainless on performance engines that used cast manifolds without issue. And that was mounted to a T3 turbo running 20 psi.... The thing used to glow !!!

It's just a thought at this stage matey

[John A. Rippingham]

Ok mate, will have a go at getting them off intact and see if i can get a price.

if anyone else reading this needs silencers let me know so i can get a feel for the numbers and hopefully get a better price

Hi, rich, if you like I can visit motor factors to see if they have the same style as before, buy them then post them up to you?. As you know I have the receipt with part numbers.

Regards Kevin.

Kev don't put yourself out, but if you are passing that way, it is an option too.

Not familiar with UC exhaust systems but it may be worth inserting a flexible section in the engine pipes whether stainless or not. I do this with my Dodge WCs as the system is rigidly mounted which I expect is the case with the UC. It just helps to know you are not putting undue strain on the manifold coupling.
