IanS16 Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Just wondered if there is any sort of exhaust protection plate that bolts on underneath the car to protect the exhaust/y pipe. something like this http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthrea ... adid=22620 I keep scraping the flexipipe and ripping holes into it. If not, may be an idea for a fabricator. CS maybe? (and no im not-unlowering my car and I cant avoid speed bumps as they are on every road outside my flat) Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 Ian, when the cars next with a garage/fabricator friend of mine I’ll ask him to have a look and see if something similar is feasible… Quote
IanS16 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Brilliant. Cheers mate - think they'd sell well with us lot of low riders Quote
Toon Chris Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I'd love one. I keep getting nasty scrapes from under the car and the braiding is getting worn away. Mine is a good 15mm higher than yours ,too! Quote
ZMANALEX Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 These are very easy to knock up guys using sheet aluminium. The flexy part of the Y pipe is normally the lowest underbody part of the Zed. If there is enough interest say (20) then I can easily fabricate them, but I could not make a start until mid March. I run with one on the Roadster and it works very well. Cost would be around £125 + shipping. Alex. Quote
IanS16 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 I'd be up for one Alex. Y pipe repair cost me £130 so if it stops it happening again its paid for itself! Glad some people agree that its a good idea - though i might get laughed at! Oh, and Mid March is fine for me You ever going to bring the Roadster on a meet Alex? Would love to see it Quote

IanS16 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Thats a loooong way away from me though. May be able to tie it in with something else Quote
Chris`I Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I'd probably be up for it. I seem to be finding more places every day where I scrape it Quote
BulletMagnet Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Brilliant. Cheers mate - think they'd sell well with us lot of low riders Since you said "low riders", why not install hydraulic suspension, rofl Imagine doing a "three-wheel motion" or even bouncing along to your favorite tracks. Quote
IanS16 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Wrong sort of car to be bouncing along to Dr Dre though. Quote
Toon Chris Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Does the Y rattle against the protection plate? does it touch at all? If it is easy to fit and doesn't annoy me with rattly noises then it is a +1 for me. Quote
