Choosing a new exhaust

[richard]

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay.

I'm commited, but it must be POLISHED i'm afraid. I think it should only be £60 for the whole system. Reason being, new engine, so the new exhaust must be up to standard:

So therefore the price hopefully would be:

(£747 + £60) + VAT = £948.23.

Alistair, Let me know when the supplier wants the money and I can call them to send the money via switch or credit card. Also details about a deposit or payment in full.

Many thanks for the hard work and great result.

Hi Rich

The £747 was inc vat!

If you wanted polished I think it will come in at £816.50 inc vat.

I'll check that out now.

Cheers

Alistair

Hi

Yep thats right just checked, they can do individual polished at £60.00 extra, so it would be as above £816.50 inc vat.

All we need to do is pay £50 deposit, and then pay on collection.

They will be ready middle of January.

So far we have:
A Van - committed - non polished
JRG - committed - non polished
JBV - committed - non polished
RM - committed - polished
Dan - thinking

Obviously we have already hit the four required, if we got to 6 or 7 then I might be able to procure a further slight discount..but no promises!, I think we all agree its a good deal.

Cheers

So we are now at

A Van - committed - non polished
JRG - committed - non polished
JBV - committed - non polished
RM - committed - polished
Julian - committed - non polished

If any of you boys are getting rid of your OEM muffler with the '82 exhuast tips fitted give me a shout

Cheers,

Phil

Go on then you've twisted my arm

I'll have non pollished and no lambda hole.

I am slightly concerned about my studs shearing off though, but will just have to hope they come out ok. When I am at Ed's next month I can bring back gaskets and studs too.

[bozzzydmc]

Even if you were to shear them all off you have the two opposite holes you could use.

But if they dont then I suppose you have the choice to use 2 or 4 studs per exhaust port.

Just keep squirting the studs with WD until you come to do the job and give them a sharp tap with a hammer to shock them before you undo the nuts... with luck they will all 'turn out' with them.

[A Van]

Or you could 'tickle' them with a bit of oxyacetylene!, JRG got all his out ok...I think if one particular one undoes ok then the rest do....JRG can you advise?

Phil, mine has 82 tips, but Rich M might already have his off?

Right we have.

AV - Non polished
JRG - Non polished
JBV - Non polished
RM - Polished
Dan - Non polished - No lamdba hole
Julian - Non polished

I'll see if we get any more interest by the end of the day, then I'll make the rest of the arrangments.

Cheers

Damn, I wish I'd have waited now........

I would have gone for one of these with you guys at that price, but instead up upgrading mine, I side stepped by having one made at LongLife which kept the back pipe in line.

The only thing that was putting me off was the hefty £1300 figure that was floating around when I was looking to purchase in the spring.

I was quoted around £450 for the system I had made, which had increased by the time I had it done.

Overall, I'm happy with the look, the sound, and the quality of what they did.

But for a few hundred more, I would have had the Rolls Royce of exhausts, like you guys are planning on getting.....

I do however have my old 83 muffler which is in excellent condition with the pointy tips. If I can hock that, along with the one that is currently fitted to the car (guaranteed for life) for close to what one of these is costing, then I may well be with you.........

Quick one - why would one not want the lambda hole on the exhaust? Something to do with having a disconnected lambda sensor?

[richard]

If memory serves me correct he has stage 1 fuel distributor, so no lambda ports on the car.

[Dan6457]

Thats right Richard. Volvo fuel distributor = no frequency valve = no lambda system

Your engine looks great! I admire the effort thats gone into that.

[richard]

Tell me about it!

It was originally out of a Volvo 264, so is the B28E with Higher compression no lambda etc etc. Was gonna put cams in, but thought it a little beyond my skills.

I posted a seperate thread later in the proper manner, keep your eyes peeled.

Looking forward to the new sorst though :-)
