Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi

Noise Boys replaced my pajero's center silencer earlier this year with a smaller, but much noisier unit. I'm fed up with the noise, particularly between 2000 and 3000 rpm as its a constant and annoying hum. I spent some time in a very quiet 3.5l Prado and realised how bad mine was. I know nothing about exhausts, but something tells me they fitted the wrong silencer.

Now the big question: What do I do and where do I go in Pretoria to have it properly done?

Pierre I am sure the Prado still has it's CAT converter with a non freeflow system - that is possibly why it is so quite.

I am not sure about yours though. Have a look underneath your car and count the boxes - see the size and position, but also note where the pipe enters the box and where it exits.The pic below shows a freeflow box.

With a non freeflow system the pipe will enter the box at one point but exit it at another - not in line with one another.

Try De Graaf in Pretoria North.

Pierreandre,

Ek stel voor dat jy na De Graaf Uitlate in Pretoria Tuine gaan. Praat met Leon as hy nog daar is. Hy het toendertyd 'n vryvloeistelsel op my Granada met 'n Chev V8 enjin gemonteeer en die kar was net so stil soos 'n gewone Granada. Sy eerste poging was nie sti genoeg nie maar na die tweede poging was ek te vrede - en sonder enige argumente of teenspraak van sy kant.

Die grootste probleem deesdae is om uitlaatstelsel monteerders te oortuig dat jy nie 'n lawaai wil hê nie!! Praat met Leon.

Cloyd.

Two people with the same advice! Must be good advice then

I'm pretty sure its a free-flow silencer based on your description. This is after I explained to the person in charge that it should be quiet.

De Graaf it is then.
