Land Rover Defender L663 V8 Quad Exhaust - Upgrade Part 1 ( compare / cut open etc )
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- We buy a V8 exhaust system from ebay to see if we can fit it to the STIG - we cut the exhaust open to see how it works and compare it to our standard exhaust to see how we can fit this to the car.
Who even thinks about putting a V8 exhaust on a 2 litre jobby ! Only PowerfulUK could think of this ! Classic watching and took my mind off the boring meeting I was attending via Teams !!!!
Love the way you put the microphone on the floor at the back of Stig but, the exhaust is somewhere near the front wheels.
I did not want to get my fine knitwear dirty
I was waiting for a “I can get over speed bumps” during the Stig vs. Gary discussion 😂
Funny thing is Gary lost his undercar neons on a speed bump !
Just a techie thing… magnetic SS is ferritic (grain structure), while non-magnetic is austenitic - difference bought about by either or both chemistry & heat treatment. Usually the difference is designed according to end-use. Cheers Frank
Good point - i knew the terms but can never remember which way around they are.
Please let Gary know he has a bulb out. 😂😂
Wow did you jump straight to the end of the video ?... I will do..
@@L663 no I just skipped the cutting bit soz😳
Love this
Great video, might be an idea to run the calculations on the pressures for the turbo / engine. If its too big, the gases can cool down, and you will see a slight drop in power, it has to push harder to get the gas out. I found out the hard way on my D1 3.9 V8 🙂
I am a bit worried that there is not enough flow from the pipes when the valve is closed so i think i will need to add some holes before i weld it up.
Is the next project to transfer the V8 from the Range Rover Sport into the STIG (the ultimate upgrade and trump Gary)?
Imagine the cost for shipping of the V8 full kit to here in the US. lol
I think there will be more V8s in the US than the UK !
LS swap incoming in 3..2...1..
@@L663 oh for sure there are way more V8's here. Just joking around because I've bought so much from u guys. ;)
Hi Simon, another great video. I was wondering why you didn't put a hose down the exhaust and then blow air through it to see if both pipes were indeed separate, it would have saved re-welding up the silencer box. Also what about if you have an engine issue under warranty and the Stig ends up on a four post lift and the dealer sees your custom exhaust? it could all end in tears but I suppose with all the work and modifications you have done to the Stig, maybe not worth worrying about that now.
Hi - THE STIG does not like the dealers very much after his last experience but that is a separate story...
Some of my videos are aimed at people who in the future will not be worried about warranty... I am just getting the content ahead of time !
Not sure if this has been mentioned already (sorry if it has!!!) BUT not to Pee on your Parade.... you may have the underpinnings of a V8 but do have the wiring loom of a V8??? In order to make those outter exhaust Butterfly flaps to work you'll need the wiring plugs to actuate them with the motors which you need to source as well. Only way I can think you being able to use all four outlets is remove the flaps somehow and then the exhaust gases can use any route it wants to escape. Plus it may make The Stig more gruff with the permanent 4 outlets being open. Just a thought if I'm wrong then I'm wrong!! 😁😁😁
Richard you are correct - we do discuss in the video using CANbus to drive a simple exhaust flap motor when throttle position is at 70% or more opening. I think I would need the wiring and to update the CCF file to have active exhaust also.
Gosh…I thought that was a brave wallet busting purchase..Who has already destroyed their V8 then??? At £4000+, a seriously expensive bit to replace one day. Now…I only mention this from concern and because I had an ear “accident” a year ago, PLEASE don’t use that grinder without ear defenders on….you can ruin your ears in seconds. I simply dropped some ceramic tiles in an empty skip that was surrounded by three walls…the explosion was astonishing and damaged my hearing for a good three months. It is 95% better now but my perfect ears and not the same. So men…please take this as kind advice for two people I like to call good friends, always save your ears with loud noise around…it only takes once.😬😬😬🙉🙉🙉 I look forward to seeing the upgrade…or hearing it!!! 😃😃😃😃Richard.
Hi Richard - good point we do have and do use them but we need to take care. Sound like you were lucky and unlucky at the same time. I am not sure how the exhaust came up for sale.. maybe an ex James bond car !
@@L663 Simon…I escaped and just about recovered but hearing affects more than we ever realise. Try driving a car with everything dulled…it is really difficult and road noise turns into a constant loud rattle in the side windows…the M32 was almost impossible to bear. That is all gone now but it scared me greatly. As I said…it happened in one drop…I had the same effect as a car accident when all the airbags go off at once…the doctor did reassure me that it would get better…but it took many months. I’m sorry to post this but believe me…it makes me paranoid now!! 😬😬🙂🙂🙂🤐🤐🤐
@Skinny and Chunk I think you are correct - apparently the aftermarket ones retain the valves... why did you change - was the factory one a little too Tame ? looking inside it I would imagine its not that loud as there was not really a straight through section.
Looks like good exhaust
This explains things , last week while temp about freezing i was behind a new Defender with exhaust only coming out of 2 of the 4 pipes .. i thought the other 2 pipes were stick - on fakes ... i take back everything i called it
Yes but i am still puzzled by the lack of "flow path" to the inner pipes
I’m guessing Gary spends most of his life avoiding speed humps
Along with art galleries and erudite conversation 😂
Another great video guys 👍 you must be exhausted 😛
Well done - that beats my baffled line..
Hi 👋 thanks 😊 for another update.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
You are so welcome... its getting late for me now....
great vid again simon,maybe trying a fancy middle box delete on your d4
I still think Gary is going to win - may have to leave this exhaust stuff to the youth !
Please use safety equipment goggles etc when using power tools.
Was it a Breakers Vehicle Simon ?
I am not sure - the guy has some new ones for sale also.
Would you be able to sell the V8 exhaust for me? Or how can i get used one? For my V6 P400
They are for sale on ebay
Bit of an odd one lol 😂 what mic 🎙 do you use??
The mic is the wireless mic that comes with our DJI Pocket 2 camera
@@L663 ar no worries 😉
It looked like this one I seen on Amazon though I asked to see how you got on with it.
Would you remember these wireless microphones??
What the black stuff on the side of the Ford ?
Its a special stealth wrap to make it invisible to police radar...
bit tragic putting a V8 exhaust on a 2L
Its all i can afford !
@@L663 Get a pops-n-bangs map and you can mix it with the local crew…
Be nice if you could find a reasonably priced 2nd-hand V8 on eBay…
Maybe from the same car that has donated its exhaust pipes??? I guess it has suffered a very early crash!!😬😬😬😬
