Hi all

My garage informed me that my exhaust has a slight blow in it.

I figured, replacing the gaskets might be a good start as I really don't fancy replacing the whole thing.

The car is a standard, Turbo 2000 with PPP. So has a Prodrive back box, de-cat centre section and I believe a De-cat downpipe as well?

Can anyone offer some advice as to what gaskets I should get, is there a set available that will do the whole lot?

I've no idea what diameter the exhaust is, but since its all standard prodrive stuff, I would guess 2.5'' ?

Thanks in advance.

Call import car parts (mark) just got all m u exhaust gaskets from there, did your mechanic not tell you where it was leaking from, my gaskets came to 100 ish ( full set from headers to backbox)

Your downpipe if it's decat will be 3 inch rest will be 2.5 inch, it's a cone type reducer gasket for the downpipe to center pipe (3 inch to 2.5)

Thanks for the info. I'll give them a shout.

He probably did, but it was so long ago, I've forgotten. However, I might as well replace the entire lot for peace of mind.

Well.... I've no idea. All stock items. Now that I think about it, there is a sports cat in place. So, is it a decat up pipe?

So you have a blowing exhaust but you don't know where? Well if it's the pipe blowing and not a gasket then replacing the gaskets will be a waste of time and money and not do anything to solve the problem...

Also by taking the entire exhaust system apart you will likely need to replace bolts and studs all of which can be a massive pain in the **** to take apart on a corroded system. Do you know how hard it can be to remove things like the headers, up pipe and downpipe? You could just end up breaking lots of stuff and causing yourself lots of grief. Then when it's all back together it may still blow and you will have to take it all apart again to fix the blow...

Find out where it's blowing. Buy the parts that are needed to fix and then work on it

Yep. Its why I take it to a specialist. I just supply the parts.

It's your money. But by the time you have done that and paid a lot for a specialist to do it you might as well of had the specialist look and see what the problem was and then fix it.
