-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Flex joint in 300TD exhaust systerm Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 08:45:59 +1200 From: Euan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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). Cheers Euan >>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? Barry
