Decent Replacement Standard Exhaust System

[feb 47]

Still got this good condition Bosal here with remnants of the sticker left on it...

 

Does it have the split?

I asked my local motorfactors and neither the Bosal nor the Klarius have the split they think.

Even the Peugeot dealer can't reassure me it has the split, he *thinks* it should have it being an original part but if he orders it then I must buy it even if it hasn't got it

Bit of a bump but did anyone come to any conclusions about exhausts? Im after a 2 piece exhaust for my 205, and there seems to be alot of disagreement/lesser quality parts around.

 

Thanks

Walker seem to be the most likely system to have the correct split downpipe from my recent findings but they were on used systems not brand new.

 

Marksorrento205 was in talks with blue haddock about getting a Walker system through him & I'm sure he had it confirmed by his supplier to have the split in place but never went thorugh because the person he was sourcing it for sold his pug after getting made redundant iirc.

Bit of a bump as Im still trying to track down an exhaust. I havent had any luck sourcing a Walker exhaust, if anyone knows where to get one?

 

Buypartsby seem to do Klaurius (need to call them up to check) a decent enough brand?

 

Also, does the part diagram look like the right part?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Craig

klarius is the new brand name for arvin-meritor.

 

last system I got from ECP was a walker unit.

[pug_ham 240 3 Cars]

I've got a Klarius centre box from the cat GTI on my car but have hardly done any miles in it to guage quailty.

 

It fitted OK though but like I said in a previous reply, it didn't have the correct split downpipe design (no split at all) so I rejected it..

I know Anthony said the split doesn't really matter on the GTI-6, but how about the old Mi16?

[welshpug 1,621]

would think it does as the original mi16 downpipes did have them.

Have you tried a Peugeot dealer?

 

I just bought a backbox from them, part number 172634 it is made by ECIA so I assume the downpipe Peugeot supplies is also made by ECIA (hence has the split).

Peugeot service box lists it at £253, which seems like alot of money for what it is. Im going to give them a call and see what their best price is, as they are quite good at negotiating a good rate of discount.

[feb 47]

There is a market for someone with good welding skills to take "standard" ehxausts without the split and convert them to OE spec then!

What discount do you get on parts?

I have only bought a few things and get -10% .

I don't know about "good welding skills" I think more like "good magician skills".

[feb 47]

Has anyone actually done any back to back testing either via his butt dyno or even better RR dyno between a 4-2-1 and a 4-1 downpipe in a 8V?

 

Anthony, having driven the car with the 4-2-1 previously and 4-1 recently do you remember any differences?

 

I guess they were so small that one has to drive the car back to back to be able to judge.

The best price Ive got for a walker front section is £150. Still waiting for a few places to get back to me, but pleased ive made some progress tracking down a supplier..

A little space cleared

Just to confirm, is 1704 95 the correcnt peugeot part number for the exhaust front part up to the back box? The part diagram seems to show it narrowing to a smaller diameter pipe, rather than to a clamp fitting flange? Its part number 1 in the diagram.

 

 

Thanks

 

Craig

 

(I may have been able to negotiate peugeot into the same ball park price for the exhaust, so want to make sure Im talking about the right part lol!)

[welshpug 1,621]

yeah it is correct, looks like the drawing wasn't amended to show the small detail, look under the phase1-1.5 and you'll see the confirming detail.

 

 

1704 46 NFP EXHAUST FT PIPE - UNTIL - 1990 WITH INTERMEDIATE PIPE

 

1704 95 - INJECTION AND XU5J SINCE - 1990

- INJECTION AND XU5JA SINCE - 1990

- INJECTION AND XU9JA SINCE - 1990

[pug_ham 240 3 Cars]

The best price Ive got for a walker front section is £150.

I had found them for under £100 but can't remember where it was now (other than from blue haddock)

 

Maybe send marksorrento205 a pm to see if he is able or willing to speak to Kev & get somewhere with them because he doesn't seem to want my money.

 

Ecia re the original 205 GTI exhaust manufacturer so I'd liek to think it is still the correct split downpipe design.

In case anyone is curious in the future, I thought I would update this thread with my findings. Peugeot still supply an ECIA exhaust under part number 1704 95, and it does indeed have the correct spec split downpipe

What's that cost Craig from a dealer?

[cRaig 265 1 Cars]

The book price from service box is £253.73. I managed to get quite alot off that, around 25% off
