mudnut's 'Old Trol' build thread.

[mudnut]

After a quick inspection of the gear train my mate reckons it won't be too expensive to rebuild the gearbox. He is going to strip it down and have a proper look. I will be most peeved if there wasn't anything wrong with the box as the one I got fitted is still making funny noises and 2nd gear is hard to select while the box is cold.

G,day, all. The fumes in the cab have returned, with a vengeance. My wheezy Old Trol has popped its exhaust under a heat shield. I have checked out a few sytems and have found these:

The outlet is a whopping 4'' pipe.

My questions are: Is there a good affordable system, from tip-to-tail available.

: If I got these cheaper ones, is it easy for me to graft it onto my standard system, until I can upgrade? Or would I need a specialist to do that?

Please keep in mind, that my funds are limited.

I love talking to myself. Anyone??

[Bloodyaussie]

Yes the good ol factory systems are shit and with all those heat shields make it so hard to work on...

I would go afresh and most of those systems are much a muchness .

Are you on fart face?? always deals to be had and couriers like Hunter express pretty affordable ?

Also http://www.truckit.net/ are a good service for cheap.

Thanks, BA. I do like to buy locally, I was quoted almost $550 for a set extractors or headers, only. So I will have to look further afield.

Mate thats crazy money and shop prices of course.

I have used the network of this forum to pick up parts for me before so I could organise freight in my own time.

There is a deal to be had out there somewhere.

[mudnut]

Yeah I will have to spend a bit of time looking. An exhaust bandage will have to do atm. I wonder what sort of power ain I could expect, withy a hi flow muffler?

I had a look at their stock, TD, and I didn't see an RB3O system listed.

While I am asking questions, when fitting an after market system, do you need to fit heat shields ?
