JTS exhaust
 

Best online shop for exhausts please...

I need a new back box for my 156 2002 2.0JTS. Its not the same as the TSpark
exhaust system.

The flexi pipe was the blowing part, so they welded a similar sized piece in
and all is well, but there is only luck holding the rear silencer together
at the mo!

Local garage hunted round all over and finally ordered and tried to fit one,
but the bore on (going into the silencer) was completely wrong. Around half
the size of the bore on the car so they (re-assuringly) didn't fit it. If it
can last another month or so, then I can get it done during service. I will
try to get the part myself beforehand.

Cheers,
GT

Its a 'kind of' triangular cross-section and has a large outlet bore on the
rear.
The V6 one looks like the same shape and bore, but that can't be right?!?

Thes guys are really good IME, but apparently not taking any orders ATM.
Would be worth calling them up and finding what the score is.

I'll make a few calls tomorrow, but that is the TSpark system. I presume
that the JTS system is different or otherwise the local garage guys should
have found something that fits easily. So are bodyshopwarehouse good? I'll
phone tomorrow.

Actually having said that, the TSpark one looks the same in the photo! Like
Catman says - I'll give them a call.

I read this forum page:
http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-...s-exhaust.html

and found these:

http://www.ebspares.co.uk/PNF.cfm?id...TOKEN=32193955

http://www.supersprintuk.com/supersp...meo-p-246.html

Any comments? I'm not looking for 'boy racer' noisy, I just want a
replacment exhaust that will give me a few years! Could I just fit the
TSpark 2.5V6 pipes?

Certainly more than I'd pay......

If you mean does it *look* silly when fitted, I'd probably say 'yes'
