Exhaust change opinions
Hi all,
I am thinking about changing my exhaust on my 1.9D, ever since I have had the car ive never been too happy about how it looks, the issue is that there is a large circular cutout in the bumper, but the 1.9D exhaust is a square backbox with a small offset pipe. I am not looking to change anything performance wise, so I will be probably just looking for a backbox only change, I might also lower it slightly but thats for another time. I am thinking of fitting a round 3" japcan which should neatly fit the cutout. My car will just have a few subtle mods on it, im not looking for extreme, im not looking for power (thats for the drag kart) just something subtle from OEM, I bit like how I have OEM rims which are a different colour, or the sidemarkers that are slightly tinted. Should I just go with a simple aftermarket backbox? Not sure what the exhaust options are on the 1.9D as most are for T4s. |

How about fitting the backbox off a T4? (not sure if it will) they are an oval that fill the hole nicely

Gatos had my mate fit a jetex exhaust on to his, looks quite nice, dont think theres many exhaust options out there for the dirty diesel
thought of just cutting the exit pipe straight and fitting a trim on it? cheap and cheerful plus its still running the stndard exhaust for emissions etc so wont need to change it for mot time |

Diesels don't actually need to run a back box, the turbo and cat act as silencers so I could just run a straight pipe cat back lol I was thinking of perhaps cutting the OEM backbox outlet straight and then adding a trim, but then it might look a bit odd with a small pipe with a large trim lol

The previous owner of our 1.9D had cut off the tip of the exhaust and fitted a cheap aftermarket end tip that looked cool. However, one day when I was reversing the car, the tip just fell off disintegrated from rust. I was planning to also retrofit the T4 oval tip as I had a spare one. However, I then found this one (see picture below) at a bargain price and I installed that instead....

They were £300-£400 at the time, but I won mine on ebay (brand new & boxed) for a fraction of that amount
