tdci exhaust
just wondering as several have mentioned about through pipes etc being stainless steel.....

would I be right in thinking the standard exhaust is stainless steel ?

I doubt the factory pipe is stainless. Just nicely shiny galvanised which looks stainless.

No its not, having just replaced mine with a full stainless from manifold back. The original was 3yrs old and was in a bit of a state specially the 10mm steel hanger bars that had neally rusted through.

Yeah my tail pipe was like that but when the whole thing came of and was on the workshop floor I was shocked at the state of it. The centre box and the hangers were the worst.

A standard exhaust is 409 stainless... so magnetic, and a low grade.

Flanges, hangers etc are all mild steel.


So not the best in world...

304 or 316 would be much better!
