Fitting a new exhaust system on Puma 90
I have just purchased a new DPF back exhaust system from Twisted Automotive, would you say it is an easy DIY job to do, or am i better off taking it to a garage to get done...

I vote for easy.

Be prepared for Some rusted bolts and nuts. But if you replace the current system you can allways use the grinder Thumbs Up a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover

If you did need a grinder you'd need a larger one too I'd have thought due to disc cutting depth.

A small one would be much more easier to use, but cutting depth wouldn't be right through.

Or carefully use a sabre saw, much less sparks etc $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

All done. I used a jigsaw in the end to cut the back box off, but other than that it was a pretty straight forward job.. Needed to take the rear wheel off the allow the rear bend on the exit pipe through.
