Thought i'd post my car here just in case you wanted to see it :D

 

2001 Peugeot 406

2½" exhaust with a 4" jap muffler at the back (sounds a little too much i'll admit... :lol: )

Rims are Image Blade 7.5x17" on 225/45 tires.

Semi-leather "sport seats" and fully equipped with everything exept a sunroof.

Not a bad ride! :) Hope you enjoy it!

[RX_37]

I certainly do ;)

Never seen that model here - looks pretty good (bit like an old Commodore from the side)

Looks a lot like the Nissan S14 from the front aswell.

Exhaust is just a tad too big... just a tad...

 

Nice motor otherwise, rims suit it well too. :)

It's 4"... :rolleyes: I know it's too big and i was thinking of replacing it this summer.

A bit of bad luck today. On the downpipe. Broke clean off for some reason. Either a factory error or too much stress on it, which it shouldn't be. Replaced this same part last summer and it's only been driven something like 10.000 km tops :/

Reminds me of what happened to my catalytic converter, the pipe on the one end of that completely rusted through. I do wonder if the exhaust is one of the weak points with our generation of Peugeots as they always seem to be a problem on the owners forums.

 

My exhaust is coming off completely tomorrow. I've bought two new clamps to hold a couple of the sections sections together and I'm going to straighten it out properly as well as it keeps twisting and ends up rattling against the heat-shield or rear bumper.

Well i couldn't imagine why Peugeot exhausts would rust more than everyone elses? Especially since it's not original parts we're talking about eitherway. Peugeot's in general are very resistent to rust if you compare to other brands, old and new cars.

 

I've changed the entire exhaust from the cat back on mine last year plus a hole before the cat was welded shut plus that part that broke again -.- So i've had quite a fuzz with mine but hopefully it should hold together from now on. It better do! >: (

That was my thought as well as they do have rust-proofing, but the exhaust seem to be an issue with fitment and so on for some reason. Either way, I've got mine sorted out now, put the new clamp on the mid to back box and straightened it out. Had to play about with the heat-shield a bit as the exhaust kept knocking on that. Forgot there was already a new clamp on just before the middle box as I'd changed the catalytic converter last year, so that's another spare part to add to my collection :p

I sold this car today :(

[superhyper]

Do you have a replacement for it? :p

[RX_37]

Well i have the Toyota which im driving now but im probably gonna buy another one too.

[superhyper]

Cool, do you have anything specific in mind or are you up for anything that sounds good enough? :)

[RX_37]

I was thinking about a Peugeot RCZ but i'm not sure. New cars are expensive.... :( But it's the only one i really want at the moment. Exept for a GT86, but that's too expensive.

[RX_37]

A little update on this car:

 

As you might know i sold this car in January to make way for the RCZ i have now. But the guy who bought it has it for sale again now :) It looks exactly the same still exept for the brake calipers that are painted blue like the car :)

[killalldude]

So the question now is, are you going to buy it back?? :p

[RX_37]

I don't think so, no :D
