looks like I'm due a bit of good fortune after the satnav crisis :lol:

First thing will be to get a jig made up so it can be replicated.

Then Ill try get a decent model made up on CAD..

This could be just the little project I need to keep me out of the Fiances way in the run up to the wedding :

For those that have the Ruffer is there any cutting involved when installing it or is it slip on / tighten up

 

[DanRo]

If you still have the original exhaust, you will need to cut that one off before you can install the new one.
Peugeot have marked on the exhaust pipe the point where you need to cut it.

Ok, so it will be a cut and shut job. I Have a second rear valance from the scrappy so I would be hoping to try the Ruffer out for a while but have the option to go back to the standard pipe and single exit if its not to my taste.

How loud is it when on the motorways etc?

 

[DanRo]

I have from Ruffer the left/righte single exhaust

 

[Anonymous]

is it very noisy / loud on motorways?

 

[DanRo]

I have a complete road aprouved exhaust line including sport cat and it's louder but it don't make to much noise...
I don't like a car when it's to loud and this for me a good level :thumbup:

[DanRo]

Some info here on how I fit mine. It's relatively easy to fit but a pain to get it all aligned and clear of the body / heat shields.

If you have any dramas send me a message and I'll tell you what I needed to do. :thumbup:

Ruffer Recieved! Cant wait to open this package up tonight and see what I have to work with!

 

[DanRo]

H ave fun

 

[Jimbrodie1]

Figo, are you fitting it yourself or taking it to a garage ?

If your doing it yourself you will struggle unless you have a ramp or a lift of some description.

if I need to cut the existing exhaust then it will be into a garage unfortunately.

The package is still in the car.. I have man flu and as such i am acting like the world has ended and stayed in and watched the football in a robe and slippers so Ruffer Exhaust shenanigans have been put aside today :lol:

 

[Jimbrodie1]

Jeez MAN FLU is the local hospital on stand by. Make sure the wife has them on speed dial. I know how dangerous it can be ;-))

Any way yes you will have to cut the exhaust. Best way is to drop the back box off the 2 hangers, there is a small dimple on the exhaust which is where you need to cut it. Because of where it is, is why I suggested you need a ramp.

Back box dropped down .....

Position where you make the cut .......

Good luck and if you want to know anything else about how mine went let me know.

The ruff.... and very dirty...

Time to break out the cleaning stuff!

Ive looked high and low for a template for the second exit but cant see one. ..

Any tips?

 

[Anonymous]

found one

how hard is the rear valance to remove?

 

[Jimbrodie1]

The standard tail piece is mounted to a bracket which is attached to both the rear bumper and the valance. You need to remove the 6 small bolt which hold the tail pipes on and remove them then remove the bracket itself. This is not so easy as the bumper plastic tabs are heat stacked (melted over) so you have to snap them off when you pull the bracket off.

Once you've done that it's a simple case of pulling the valance to the rear as it's only then held on by clips. It helps to eas the clips out from inside the rear bumper as you either push or someone else pulls the valance out. :thumbup:

Refitting is just tapping the valance back on with a rubber mallet. I didn't bother with the metal clamp as it is no longer needed. HTH
