XT exhaust centre section

I need a new centre section from the dump pipe to the muffler for an XT. Anybody know where I can get one or do I need make one up?

Thanks

If you make one up, then using V-Band clamps may be the easiest way to fit it.

Would be easiest to have one made by an exhaust place and as suggested use V band clamps as they are much easier to use, a 150mm flexible section at the front takes care of any alignment issues.

Thanks for the advice. OKAPETE was able to help me out with an original part which does the job at the moment.

Out of interest what is the diameter of it?

Nominally 3" from the factory but I think many LT's (ours was one of them) came with a reduction like a reducing hump just behind the flange where it joined the cast section attached to the motor. I also suspect that this was a way of limiting boost with the standard turbo rather than a bodgy join of pipe and flange, but knowing oka the latter might be correct.

There is a short section of ~2.5" that mates to the cast dump pipe. The pipe then expands to ~3" for the rest of its run.

That was the bit that I was referring to, the Perky still pulled 17 lb of boost ex factory so it didn't restrict much.

I had looked at that section when I was doing the turbo but it is only a transition from the dump pipe to the 3" exhaust it does look from outside as a restriction but from inside it is a smooth run if anything the baffled muffler was the restriction planed or not.

Does it actually need much of a muffler with the turbo between the valves and the end of the tailpipe?
(A waste gate bypass would make a racket though.)

When I fitted the 6bt I removed the muffler and the reduced section, it was engineered and regoed without a muffler but it was noisy especially when you were giving it a bit of throttle. Was actually emabarassing when you were just idling through a small town and had to give it a bit to climb a hill as while it sounded good it was loud under throttle.
So I fitted a straight through more of a resonator than a muffler which made it quite acceptable as it removed the "bark".

We took out the muffler in both 210 and 366 as part of the Swift upgrade. they are a little load when you put the boot in we think they are great.

Did a run up Greenmount hill east of Perth today to get a speed reading at a couple of spots. Did another run after removing the air filter cover (new filters) but couldn't make out any difference, I will try that again on the open road though as it has to make a bit of difference. Went home and removed the muffler and tail pipe then went back down the hill. My marker was at a spot on the climb where, with the muffler she was working in 4th at 2000rpm to get 65km. without the muffler I had to back off for a while cos a Hilux held me up but went past the same marker in 4th doing 70kmp at 2200rpm, (I dont think the Hilux altered the test too much because where I happened to be) It was nice to hear that little turbo, seriously didnt think it was there before. I think I'll fill the muffler gap with pipe and fit the tail pipe back on and leave her at that. It didnt appear to be any noisier.
