We're all RHD vehicles over here. So I guess a turbo would be a rarity.
Pity.
I forgot to mention that I was considering a flex-joint in the
horizontal section of the system, just aft of the rigid suspension mount
on the transmission. That's where most seem to be fitted
retrospectively. My wagon does not have a factory-fitted flex-joint in
the header pipe (which is the original).

>>Euan -
They were around all right, it is standard equipment on my '81 SD. But does
your car have a turbo supercharger? If not, that may be the difference. I
just looked at Randy's site for the exhaust system on an '85 turbo TD and
they show a flex joint in the header pipe just like my SD. Maybe the NZ cars
weren't turbos. Is that the case?
