Found a random, possibly Peco exhaust

Postby andyhaworth » Tue 01.04.2008, 21:48

Was at Peter Smiths today and they have a stainless system they took off an Elan a while ago due to overboost/creep, and it's been sitting in the garage for a while (maybe 18 months) and looks virtually unused.

They'll take £30 for it, but cant find the backbox, possibly been re-used on another car

Not knowing what it is I was thinking about getting an aftermarket backbox matched to the bore (looks 2.5, but will measure)

Question: Is there anything I need to look out for doing this? If I can match it to the Peco could I get a replacement backbox roughly the same length and the world keeps on turning?

It might actually be a Peco.. :oops: The only markings I saw on it were maybe 9 numbers, with an 03 in there somewhere

Sorry to be vague, but any advice appreciated as to whether it's worth chancing it pikeystyle

Did the front part have a flexible section in it? The Peco does, and it goes right up to the pre-cat. But it's 2 1/4" not 2 1/2".
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

OK, so after some investigation and a second opinion (thanks Enright!) it looks as though I have a spare Paul Matty exhaust, sans backbox.

Ironically I just bought a complete one which is now fitted to the car

I'll keep hold of the other one, if anyone needs it for anything feel free to give me a shout
