I had a Vintage Speed exhaust on my KG. The build quality was great and it fitted easily without having to tweak it. Plug and play. By contrast, a friend had a Bluebird stainless exhaust on his bay and it was an absolute mission to fit. Not sure if they’re still going. However I would say the VS system was a bit throaty. More so than stock and was tiresome on a long journey. Made me smile when it first fired up though. Like Lasty I’m now running a (JK) original replica on the crewcab. It’s only mild steel and so far holding up quite well for the money. During a whistful moment I wondered what a Vintage Speed Sebring system would look like on a bus Stirlingmoz
I can second that. I just cleaned the surface rust off an earnst today. I've had it 8 years, it was on the bus when I bought it, and it's been on and off a couple of times since. When I cleaned off the surface rust, it's like new underneath. Really good quality steel. All the joints are sound. I have painted it with stove paint now. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the replies to my post. I forgot to say my van is a US import. I don’t think it’s Californian, Texas I think. Would that affect the bolt on ability? Thinking I might have a go myself.
One thing I forgot to mention about a Python, you don't quite get the same off beat exhaust music from the equal length headers as you do stock, or many of the other options.
Yes it's a US exhaust system and it looks in good condition. What's your reason for wanting to change (presumably) the silencer?
When I had it tested they said the exhaust barely passed and wouldn’t next time. I take it I can’t buy an off the shelf with those triangular flanges...
Yes you can, but the choice is a different bunch of exhausts. Did he point out exactly which part of your system is the problem? There's a lot of it.
The bus failed the MOT CO test on second fast idle? Other than that I don’t know. Could you point me to where else to look for alternatives? Cheers
I might just need a good thrashing and/or an engine service/tune up. They are easy to get through the test if all is well.
Looks like it’s Empi or something bespoke. Shame there’s no triangular flange adaptors for Vintage Speed.
