Title: Exhaust mods
Post by octanejunkie on Nov 28^th, 2007, 4:23pm

The exhaust on my 12v is looking a bit ropey. Not blowing yet though. I've bought a universal back box to fit which shouldn't be too much of a problem. However, i was thinking about having the 2 large centre silencers cut out and straight pipe welding in their place. My mates bodyshop says he can do this for me. Anyone done a similar thing? How noisy will it be, will there be any running problems, or maybe extra power?
Also, if this proves to be shi*e anyone know where you can buy exhaust components. Most places have no idea. Are they same as later Granadas? :-/

Hi octane,i did this with an old mk3 12v.Basically swapped the back box for a nice stainless jobbie,which wasnt as loud as i was expecting.then the r/h centre box started to blow so i took a recip saw to it & removed the other one while i was there & sleeved the gap with some tubing. As a result the neighbours stopped talking to me (no bad thing) as it was really loud.Even boy racers said it was too much ;D.As for power !!! Well i didnt really notice that much of a difference.It did pull through the gears a bit better,but no more noticable than say fitting a K&N.If driven carefully though i did notice an improvement in fuel consumption.Went from 17 mpg to 19 (around town).HTH...craig :)
