Hello!

Well my DII just gets louder and louder and my mechanic saw the seem starting to come apart on my muffler back in January.

Now I've got to pick one.

I have to say the quieter option is more appealing to me I think...

I've had a number of people tell me I should probably go the Stainless Steel option or else I'll be replacing it all the time...

My mechanic says he can get one (I'm assuming not stainless) from NAPA for $206.

I've been looking at a few of the online options:


Rovers North - they call it a silencer? should I do other stuff at the same time?? - Discovery II Exhaust Pipe, Hanger, Muffler - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts - $170?

Since I'm in Canada (shipping and duty are brutal) - Canada Parts Online - - has three options - Bosal and Starla??? $100-$135


And the offerings from AB:

Exhaust system kit - Land Rover Discovery II Exhaust System - $270

Genuine exhaust system kit - Land Rover Discovery II Exhaust System, 1999 - 2003 - $490

Muffler - Muffler Center D2 99-03 (WCE104642 Same Fit As Part # WCE104642 ) - Land Rover pipes from Atlantic British - $130

Genuine muffler - Muffler Center D2 99-03 (Genuine Part # WCE104642 ) - Land Rover pipes from Atlantic British - $200

Tail pipe with resonator - Tailpipe With Resonator (WDE100650 Same Fit As Part # 284-067 ) - Land Rover pipes from Atlantic British - $130 - should I replace this at the same time??

AND the Stainless Steel option - Magnaflow Performance cat-back kit - Land Rover Discovery II Exhaust System - Magnaflow Cat-Back - Single-Exit / Single-Tip - $590

I haven't priced with the dealership yet...

What do you guys recommend? Other sources?

Thanks!!!

I've got a Borla Pro XS on my D2. I absolutely would recommend it. However, one change. Go buy the muffler off of Amazon for $73.45 and get it welded in at your local exhaust shop for like $50. Factory pipes are a 2.5" diameter. Don't forget to have them chop the resonator too. I'd have them put a 3" tailpipe in place of the resonator instead of a 2.5" so it sounds a little deeper.

 

i would only go stainless if i were going to replace everything, otherwise hit your local exhaust joint and have it replaced.
no need for a dealer, no need for costly factory parts
it cost me like $180 from the muffler back at a local muffler store

 

I would go with the muffler on back. I had to piece my muffler to fit the factory tail pipe and it was not much fun. Also found using a sawzall works much better than a cutting torch. no hot parts and cleaner cuts. I went with the Borla because of the lower price. sound is just fine and not too noisy.
