2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Chawton White
Got HST Kit. Need help with tailpipes / mufflers

Hello guys, I am new around here. I've just purchased a complete HST Kit from eBay and it had just been delivered. Sorry for my English, I am from Romania.

I've got a RRS TDV8, but I've got the Supercharged HST kit, because that was the only one I could find. I saw that the supercharged mufflers are included with the kit, plus the chrome tailpipes. Both with straight connecting pipe. My TDV8 has bent down mufflers. Can I install the new mufflers on my TDV8 if the kit is for supercharged? Is there a problem? Or I will have to install the tailpipes on my TDV8 original mufflers somehow ?



So I have 2 options:
A) To connect the straight tailpipes from the kit to my bent down mufflers somehow. Any ideas how ?
B) To replace my mufflers with the supercharged ones, that will fit the tailpipes perfectly. But will they work fine on TDV8 engine?

basically you need to get someone to cut back your old pipes and weld on the new ones, there isnt enough room to just cut off the tdv8 diesel tips and stick on the HST ones and get the alignment right for the kit, i would get the kit fitted and then go get the exhaust cut back and your new tips welded on, other members wiser than me might be able to help further but ive had 2 custom built exhausts made now so im sure this might be the only option at this point? best of luck Thumbs Up Current

Would it be possible to put the SC mufflers to a TDV6 by cutting and welding, if so would this have any effect on emmisions and performance and aslo more important would there be a problem when it comes to MOT time?

Thanks
