85 XJ6 S3 Front Silencer Replacement - Exhaust System
Hi all,
am currently pondering on replacing the front silencer in my 85 Jag, would it work if I replace with below photo shown converter? Expert here are welcome to diagnose this for me. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...df8ffac8ba.jpg |
do you mean the catalytic at the Y pipe ?
that is not a silencer, it is a catalytic converter! why bother with that? eliminate it completely, it only creates a hot spot under the driver's floor. The car will pass inspection without it, as long as you warm up the engine driving the car for at least 1 hour before taking it to the inspection station, and assuming you are in a state which is still ripping off owners of 1985 cars. Instead, get a non-catalytic European Y pipe, nobody will know and your engine will breathe better, less obstructions, run smoother, less heat. |

Below No. 3 in fig 1 but in fig 5, is No. 1 of the attach photos are the two smaller silencers I was referring to in the initial post which under the car below the passenger doors. However, you have save me from over $400 cost when I planned buying the Y catalytic converter tomorrow. As you have said, I will replace the cylinder below the Y with a straight pipe as I have already remove the converter substances from that cylinder. With regards to those two small silencers, can I replace them with something else? https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...d370d8fcf4.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...fb665c9160.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...07f8127022.jpg |
yes, you can replace the two mufflers under the rear seat with generic or standard mufflers.
I took one of the originals to the auto parts store to match them in size, pipe diameter, and pipe orientation. |
Beofre i lumped mine, i had one of the front mufflers blow a seam, so deleted them.. here is the thread..

I rebuilt mine as it came from the factory but eliminated the catalytics. The over-the-axle pipes are stainless steel so they last forever.

Well, soon I will delete the cat and those two mufflers and replace with pipes.
Already I have received offers and the lowest offer is bout $11,000. But whoever cash in first will own it and am hopping to let it go by this week Friday or somewhere next week. |
