Dire Situation.......

[glow=red,2,300][/glow] HELP........
I have a Japanese Import Isuzu Bighorn, I have just put the car through an MOT test it failed on Exhaust and Emissions, I cannot get an exhaust anywhere in the UK, is the Trooper exhaust different in some way, i need the last two sections, the tailpipe rear section and the section next to that with the box on and all the gaskets nuts etc, but i am having no joy, does anyone have any suggestions, or will the trooper exhaust fit, while i am here my mechanic is struggling to cut the emissions down, does anyone have any idea what the most likely cause is. All the best Mark

Is this a petrol or Diesel and specificily what engine? Look in the engine bay written on the firewall will be something like 4JB1 or C223 etc. Then all of us here can help you more.

Putting a new exhaust on won't help emissions unless it's a petrol and the catalytic converter is duff. In which case you need a new cat rather than exhaust pipes etc.

Any exhaust shop should be able to bend up and make a whole new exhaust if you want to go that way and while you are at it blow it up in size to 2.5" (more power).

But most liekly if emissions is your problem the Exhaust Gas Recirulation system is faulty, possibly even disabled or removed. I suggest you need to look into that area.

Can you give more details or what was wrong with the emissions? To much what?
