Centre Section Fix?

[rtm4676]

My centre section has developed an irritating rattle at around 3000rpm how convienant! Its where the resonator is, can this be cut open, removed and rewelded or is it a custom made section? If its the latter is there anywhere between Perth and Falkirk which make quality hand exhausts? Im not needing the whole thing just the centre section. 3" bore btw

Gus the bus is your man for hand made exhausts!

Contact Gus the Bus mate or Dunc at Hypertech would fit a Hayward & Scott straight through center section for around £100

Cheers guys .

Yip £100 would get you a straight through centre section 2.5" T304 stainless steel with the necessary gaskets and replacement bolts included.

Sounds good, who's gus the bus?? On the exhaust front Im unsure if an off the shelf replacement will just fit straight on, isnt there something about jap exhausts having a different pattern at the joint so its hard to always get a match? Does that sound right?

Hi Gus, you posted just as I was asking the question..the exhaust I have is 3", its 2.5" at the Dcat end and 3" at the back box end. I think...

Are you sure mate? sounds like a strange diameter jump . Or do you mean its 3" at the tailpipe?

wwwaaaahh now youve got me thinking, I had the exhaust looked at last weekthe guy put a gauge on it to confirm its 3", its maybe the Dcat Im thinking of which is 2.5 at one end and 3" at the other, does that sound better?

Sounds more feasible The downpipe in a decat system is generally 3" pipework but can then go to a 2.5" or 3" flange depending on the pipework diameter on the rest of the system.

If you can check the centre section diameter again we can take it from there

I'm in the central belt but in Falkirk every day. Its my mate Paul that makes exhausts.

There is another company in Falkirk (Stainless Creations) who may have a lokk at it for you too.

Im back on this one again..I contacted AWD who had the car in for a service and they have confirmed that the exhaust is 2.5" from the cat back going into a 3" back box. (so 2 sizes on the centre section) This is apparently not unusual for jap imports. Assuming this is the case does this sound possible? I would like to keep my back box partly because they are expensive to replace and partly because theres nothing wrong with it. Its a Kakimoto - replace the centre section with a custom made piece which will fit nicely to the joint of the back box(I hear they differ from exhaust to exhaust) with a hayward and scott downpipe which i will buy, so the other end needs to fit nicely also.

Thoughts?
