Hi, i received today my brand new exhaust to replace what supposedly was a rasing beat exhaust system when i bought the car and that finally was just the stock exhaust with racing beat mufflers...
anyway...
My new exhaust is amazingly cheap and is finally of very good quality but i suddenly realized that i have absolutely no idea on how the unbolt the first presilencer, the one fitted on the back of the turbo with the three screws.
I precise that i have a full option FC3S so i have cruise control and abs. What to i have to remove to gain access to those screws ? ABS system as i supposed after teading the haynes manual ?

other question, i have the split air pipe that will be useless for now. I also heard that i could remove the air pump. what are the step to deal with this split air pipe? and if i go a bit further, what can i remove ? air pump ? air control valve ? relief silencer ? air chamber ?

thanks if you read it all, i desperetely need help

 

Hmm, Is France Right Hand Drive?

The air pump is needed for the Cat, if you don't run that then you can remove the airpump. If you remove the air pump you will need to run a dual alternator pulley and run two belts around the water pump and alternator.

 

we drive on the right and have the steering wheel on the left. what happens if i run the original pulley and just take off the air pump valve ? will it somehow tend to bend the pulley axis ? and when i remove the air pump, can i remove all the piping from the air box to the cat ?

 

If you only have one belt on the water pump there is not enough friction on the pump and it will slip.

 

ok, i wouldn't have imagined that lol.

i still my initial question pending, how is it possible to install a new downpipe ? I can't get to the attachment on the turbo...
