Legality of pieced through exhaust?

[eddiefurey]

Centre box(es) has gone on my T2 lwb diesel, reading through the threads I saw where someone had pieced it straight through to the rear box.

As mine failed its mot on the exhaust I'm wondering if I'll have any problems when I take it for retest?

Many thanks guys.

as long as it is not too loud I cannot see a problem, many motors have mods to the exhaust and they go through OK, Rick

...and unlike a petrol engine which would suffer unless you compensated for the box removal, a diesel doesn't need the back pressure.

Cheers Rick, I'll give it a go and report back.

Thanks again.

With a turbo the less back pressure the better.

Unfortunately you may have a problem with it on retest.

Could depend upon the examiners discretion but effectively the exhaust is an in one end, out t'other with no other exit for the fumes type of unit unit

Cant remember the exact legal terminology but thats the description of it

Reader problems :augie

Effectively your exhaust is supposed to contain the fumes from the point at which they leave the engine up until the point the exit the rear of the exhaust . No holes , no leaks , no breaks.

Simples (all round) :augie

Ohh it gets very technical and motorbikes are a mystery to me

acid test at the end of the day is the old hand (in glove or covered ) over the end of the pipe at idle

Vertical exhausts are popular on some trucks.... and legal!
