Have you put a proper exhaust on it?

I had a Rimmer Bros full s/s sports system complete with tubular 4 into 1 headers on my 90 V8.

It sounded nice. tongue out

The Rimmer Bros one was great on the motorway, well it certainly made less noise than the BFG mudders did or the front truetrac or rear detroit locker or the LT85 or the wind whistling round the doortops. . . . . . . wink

Your exhaust looks good but would get broken in serious off-roading, the RB is very well tucked up into the chassis and survived 5 years of torturous bashing and dragging over rocks without complaint but horses for courses and all that. smile

I looked on there website before,and couldnt find a system for the 4.0ltr 50th.The current rear pipes are pretty strong with strong welds in all the right places.It was a custom made job.

I believe the standard 3.9 one fits yours.

Wasn't criticising the quality of your exhaust, just that tailpipe is usually where my 90 was jammed onto a large piece of granite/peat/tree most weekends! smile
