When I fitted my 200TDI, I got a local chap to make an exhaust system.
It's never really been any good, the box is, I think from an old Range Rover, the pipework touches the underneath of the vehicle etc., it exits through the rear PTO hole, and Ive always had trouble with fumes entering the vehicle, which I suppose I live with, however I'm not happy for Mrs. Kev to be exposed to toxic fumes.
The point of this post, is to ask if anyone in the East Midlands say, would be able to make a decent leak and rattle free system?  - Obviously I'd pay,  but I can't justify the 500 odd Quid for a custom made one.
I've got the downpipe etc., but it ends after that.
Failing that, how did others build theirs?
Cheers.

Have you looked at Steve Parkers-

I just bought some bits and the rest came from a Vauxhaul

i had mine made from a ford transit down pipe. it was posted on the old forum
which one to use and just clamped on. my exhaust just exits behind the near side door
and is a straight through pipe, and is not to loud.
been like that for last 18 months

Hi when I fitted my 200 tdi in 2008/9 I used the Steve Parker exhaust and it was excellent and still fitted in 2014 when I sold it to Casper of this parish,expensive but worth it in my view  Paul

Did the Transit system fit with the turbo?
I ask as having been told it wouldn't, but for the future which model Transit

I used a 300 tdi rear box, exits on the near side behind the wheel, went to my local garage and raided the scrap bin and made up the centre section, been good for 10 years with the odd repair due to hitting it off road. If you fit a 300 tdi rear box it needs the tail pipe cutting down Also helps if you can weld.

Not sure what you're expecting to get. If it's any good it's £4-500. My local zhorst bloke did a special for me recently. Came in at £350, which for the skills and kit used was fair.  That was a half-system.  I'm curious, what did you think the job worth? SP's system looks pretty cheap for a limited-run item. Engine-swaps, done  right, are never cheap.

i can't remember which model transit it was but got it from
a local exhaust warehouse. was about £15. clamped it to part of the old
down pipe.

Mine is a LWB so probably not applicable to you, but I used std. 6 pot centre and rear sections in their normal positions and had a one off front pipe made from stainless for less than a £100. {However I recently approached the place which made it with a view to welding a flexible section into the existing stainless front pipe, as per the Disco exhaust. and the price quote was substantial at £170}

I have just replaced the 8 year old tail pipe [cheapo *addocks] with another one after it broke where the join was welded to the pipe

I too went for the Steve Parker system. I bought and fitted mine in 2007. It comprised of a bespoke front and centre section, and a standard 109” V8 rear. I’m on my third rear box, but they’re as cheap as chips and all the major players can supply them. The front section is still perfect. The intermediate pipe has developed a pinhole adjacent to where I had it supported with an additional clamp. I’d have no hesitation in recommending them.

That said, I’d like to replace it entirely with a bespoke stainless system, and will do so when funds allow. I’m budgeting on £4-600.
