Question

Hi,

I'm looking to change my centre and rear exhaust system but want to keep the option of reverting back to the original. When I looked at the join between the centre and front pipes it's not a standard exhaust joint. What bits will the fitter need to join the new centre to the original front pipe?

Here's a pic of the original centre where is joins the front. Centre cat on the left, front pipe on the right. The fitter was just going to cut up the old pipe, but as I want to keep that intact I need to find someting else to use. Any ideas?



Does any one have a centre section they no longer want?

Thanks

It's a custom made system, so it does not have anything to join it to the front pipe. they were going to use the one from the original centre pipe, but I want to keep it all intact (in case I (my misses) change my mind)

So, what I'm afer is some info on what type of bracket/face plate (what ever they are called) I need to join the new pipe to the existing front pipe...
