harty Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Hi guys just wondering if anyone can help me source a back box for my Alphard? Can't seem to find one anywhere online. It's the 2.4 petrol 2008. Or does anyone know another exhaust system that fits it? Appreciate any help thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickw Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Don't bother trying to sorce one,go have a stainless one made up,from cat back ,will out live you and have a lifetime guarantee, otherwise contact jap autos, near Birmingham I think ,but will come up on a search, it cost me about £450 for my last 2.8 petrol car ,but they let gasses out quicker ,my car did more to the gallon afterwards, hope this helps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter H Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Totally agree with Mickw. Paid £430 improved fuel usage and slight improvement with performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search for Longlife Exhausts or Powerflo, TIP; as you have the 2.4L you will probably have an extra cat fitted on the mid pipe, this was fitted in japan to conform with the cold start emissions test, it can be done away with as our mot does not do a cold test, So get a system fitted from the main cat back, which is part of the exhaust manifold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate the tip and will opt for getting rid of the extra cat as suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very handy that they are that close, they are part of the same group as Longlife, you will find you can choose the "sound" and the type of exhaust tip, I got a "sporty sound" and an oval tip on my 3.0L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
