Terrano no exhaust

Just a quick video of me plodding up a quiet road on an industrial estate with no exhaust.

Not that you'd believe me but I ended up outside nissan by accident

Looks like you were doing dough nuts on that road... I hope no one complains if they are fresh...

No proof you did, but video proof you were there...

It's no different to how it's been from day one (on veg) the box has been shot for ages so fumes been all over the shop, I might fabricate a baby bend on the end to point it facing left, but I'm in no hurry.

Irrespective of the type of fuel, there will still be carbon monoxide.

They call it the silent killer, you can't smell it, you can't taste it, it might be building up in the rear of the vehicle, usually the front has some fresh air coming in.

If you are lucky enough, you might notice the headaches, if not, if you or any passengers are say in the back dosing off... You might not wake up.

That surprises me TBH as the turbo makes 90% of the back pressure the engine needs

I can confirm this, my car ran like crap when I did this, I only had it off for a day as I'd had a bit of a mare replacing the mid box, it did sound good though

Especially leaving the underground car park after the cinema at 11pm
