Sierra Exhaust

Should be able to find a system from downpipe back at local independent=20 for under =A380.

Is this the one?

MSF ford will supply and fit a complete system front to back for £98. KwikFit will also do one for around the same price.

Christ, this aint looking good. Far too much money. I know its probably cheap comapred to modern cars with a cat, but can't pay that much. Car good very and rather keep it, but on a £200 Sierra...

So get some gungum, some wire and an old tin can and repair it=20 yourself.

Think I will have to if the MOT will accept that. Its only a tiny hole and can just get a finger in it.

Found this

durable repair to an exhaust system which effectively prevents leaks is acceptable providing the system is structurally sound So some gumgum and wire it is then. Last time I did this was thirty years ago with an exhaust bandage and it lasted for the life of the car.

Also interested in this from the same section. Surely this mean all those boy-racer exhausts that wake me at 2am going past my house are MOT failures?

b. assess subjectively the effectiveness of the silencer in reducing exhaust noise to a level considered to be ***average for the vehicle.***

Not necessarily - see below.

Actually the above bit can be challenged as there's a set specific dB limit at a set distance and angle of measurement so "louder than average" isn't a test that stands up if someone chooses to challenge it.

Shame. Nothing worse in my opinion that a roaring car. Sounds awful. A gentle rumbling V8, yes, but a party-seven tin stuck on the back of a small hatch, just brings me out in fits of laughter.

I've got a V6 now so a loudish system sounds nice. On my old 4 pot Capper, even though it was a custom stainless system, I kept it quite quiet.

For an exhaust system that is not a tiny hole. It's quite a big one as far as noise and gas emissions are concerned. Mike.
