Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Hi all, could anyone please point me in the right direction of which exhaust is best for a van with a 1Y engine?
Mine has cracked a few times near the main exhaust box, been welded one or twice but now think it may be worth getting something new as the exhaust is pretty old I think.
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks, Jon.

I used the one that was fitted to the old CS 1.6d.

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Thank you both. I wonder if a new original one is worth getting rather than keep welding this old one.

I have had mine fitted since 2004 and it has been fine.

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Mine may be really old or possibly fitted wrong. Will throw some pictures up later. Must be a reason why it's cracking so often!

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Here's the offending split. Looks like it's going at the weakest part ie the rusty bit.

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Can't see much from that but going from that split - is the silencer mounted directly to the bracket instead of the correct rubber mounts being used like this: (hard to see but is the only pic to hand). It shouldn't be hard mounted to the chassis as something will crack - like that.

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
I am not too sure about the rubber part but I will check it out tomorrow. Thanks for that

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Well I certainly cannot see anything that resembles a rubber/metal bracket.
Could anyone please point me in the direction of where I may buy one from? Save me welding it and it cracking again. Thanks, Jon.

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Thanks I'm getting it a bit now! May have to save for a new system. Patch up for now though. I think there's just a piece of steel box section where that rubber/metal bracket should be. Too dark to check now, job for the morning.Oldiebut goodie wrote:https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/catalogsea ... +mounting+

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
Here's a picture from underneath. Is that piece of steel box section with the bolts going through where the rubber/metal bracket should be?
And this what should be in its place?

Re: Best exhaust for a 1Y engine
LHS like this - mount on left of pic.
RHS
the insulating rubber mounts go between the plates that are attached to the engine and the plates attached to the silencer.
