Hoping someone will be able to help !
I have recently had a Stainless Exhaust system fitted to my 1992 K Saph 4x4 and am very happy with it on the whole ! However, the centre box seems so low and with four people in the car, it scrapes like crazy ! Standard suspension, standard wheels etc and have had the fitting checked and everything is as it should be.
It has been suggested to me that I can just remove the centre box and have another piece of exhaust pipe fabricated, thus getting rid of the box and therefore solving this problem ?
Does the system have to have a centre box ? Would this be okay do you think ? Any other ideas ?
Many Thanks,
Dennis.

only the cat would effect emissions. all the box does is reduce the noise.
plenty of people dont have mid boxes.
i would try putting some firmer springs on, maybe new dampers? more likely the old sierra suspension is wallowing around like a boat and scraping opposed to the box being low.

What system is it ?, some are louder than others to start with and obviously noisier after centre box removed.
As said though if your suspension is original it's going to be very soggy by now.
If mot examiner considers it to noisy he can fail it, strictly speaking he can fail it for being non ford item anyway, but fortunately they're not that draconian!!

So can anyone recommend a place as near as poss to Colchester who would be able to remove the centre box and fabricate a new piece ?
I guess one of the Powerflow places probably my best bet d'ya reckon ?

you thank us for the replys but i dont think you read them mate, unless you can look under the car and see that visually the exhaust is bent and hanging low, it will be the naff suspension. just get some springs

Bayjoo springs, 2 sets of rears and one set of fronts. free P&P 99p at moment. just get them on it.
