Re: Rear muffler in the HT kit when you need the space for a water/fuel tank?
Hi all,
I'll be looking for a solution to Nissan's best effort factory exhaust on the T30II. Instead of just working, the 2nd cat had problems and had to be replaced, not to mention hanging down so far the ground clearance in the middle meant going off the tarmac always carried a decent risk! We're on the 2nd rear muffler now and its as rusty as a North Korean fishing boat.
Anyhow, just wanted to ask- Is there any option in the HighTech solution to use a side muffler (instead of the big central one with all its bendy pipes), as per the positioning of the muffler on the later T31 diesel?
Sorry if this has been discussed before, I remember it being mentioned before, but without a fix, IIRC.
I know it will need to be smaller and louder, but there are 2" chambered mufflers are available down to 4"x9"- which might just be small enough rear muffler

Re: Hi-Tech X-Trail Extractors/Headers & Full Exhaust System (T30 X-TRAIL)
Thanks @RevHead Kev, I'll go see Lambros next time I go down to the city. Good to know their rear muffler is more compact. They did some work for me before once, and given the dogs breakfast Nissan made of the T30II system, it'll be great to replace the whole thing with something more fit for purpose. Not often you can say this for modern cars, but Nissan clearly had someone doing their exhausts on a shoestring, and as a result, they are very poor.
Certainly seem to fall off many a T30, pretty fast.
