Hi all My extension tail pipe has snapped off:mad:, This does not affect the sound as its past the silencer, Does this come under the MoT. I dont want to replace it if i dont have to, but the fumes go out under the van, If I put an end pipe pointing down would this be sufficient to pass an mot or does it havve to stick out from the van.Any comments appreciated.:):) Apart from you know who. It starts with A and ends with J

I cut my exhaust pipe back by about 8in and fitted a Chromed bend on the end, so it doesn't protrude and the gasses are deflected away from the van, I was always catching the exhaust on curb edges when parking. Probably due to having an Alco chassis and lower than normal. Been ok since.
Can you find a piece of pipe and weld it in place, then do what I did, fit the chromed end piece? leaving it level with the side of the body. I think it would fail the MOT without it.

regards,
Bill.

My tail pipe had a hole in it so took it to my local exaust place where they told me it was an extention of the exaust and did not really matter just there to keep fumes away:confused::confused: and muck of side of van. They ordered a new end bit and when I went up they took off the extention bit with the hole in it and then reliazed the tail ends they had ordered would not fit. I have not had this bit on since September can be a little fummy when started up.
She goes in for MOT 12 Feb so let you know outcome
Putting a nice shiny end on the exaust sounds like a nice idea :D:D:D

[FONT=&quot]... it clearely states in the MOT that pipe extensions should, via flexi hose,
be routed into the cabs of all bonkpicies occupied by Irish wiksey swillin muppets...:cool:[/FONT]

It is an MOT fail, "the system must be complete" etc.

Exhaust gases can find there way back into the inside if they are not vented in the correct place.

Took your time didnt you, it was broke when you came to Hayfield.

Give it a good trip down the motorway and that stuff will be leaking like a sieve.

It's the expansion and contraction you see.

Best bet is to get a sleeve welded over the leak.
