The silencer/back box/whatever it's called on my TK is old and v.rusty. I want a replacement but don't care if it's an original bedford part or reproduction (i.e. expensive). Is there anywhere I can search for silencers by size (i.e. pipe ext. diameter 2 1/4" ) There's so much room where it mounts that it wouldn't matter if it was slightly bigger than standard. Any idea of modern 7.5 tonners that I can look into to see if their silencers would fit?

I tried a couple of local exhaust places but they can only fit them, not supply. (Undoing 3 nuts is obviously VERY dangerous)

Forget about the rear silencer, just stick a 90 deg bend and go side exhaust

Is it a 6 cylinder turbo? if so go for no slincer and side exit. would sound nice.

2 1/4 is what some chavvy stainless systems are.

Daf 45 ones are quite good and big but im sure the pipes are 2 1/2 or 3 inch. Look in yellow pages for commercial vehicle parts factors. You may find the likes of part co or jayar etc might do some truck stuff.

My tintop is 2 1/4 and is dead quiet

thanks for the help, will look into it tomorrow. It's 6 cylinder n/a. Without the silencer it sounds awesome but just too loud

Diesel cars sound lame, but BIG diesel engines... awesome, really awesome.

What's wrong with a commercial scrappers?

2 stroke supercharged V8? *drools*


I could always swap the 330 for a 500 turbo No idea what they'd be like on fuel but i'm guessing around 10mpg. Our 330 gets 19mpg on the motorways

Sorted, went to a motor factors in town and they let me wander round rows and rows of silencers ^_^ One from a range rover was just right

you didnt think to talk to your local friendly truck/bus exhaust aftertreatment specialist ?

all the way out in lincoln? Didn't think trucks had reached that far yet, people still point at planes out there

Is truck exhausts what you work on then? Wasn't sure... I've kept the original silcencer though, would like to get another one made up identical to it some day ^_^

yeah , im sure we can reverse engineer it , brackets and everything .

There's a truck and automotive spares supplier across from us here in Clay Cross called Minorfern and they carry a vast assortment of exhausts for commercial vehicles.
