Not all the parts are in the book.....and tractor exhausts dont last longer than petrol.....they dont get as hot so dont dry the condensation out as wll.....
All the diesels I've had, never had to replace tractor exhaust... ...do they create as much water? Are they thicker (for noise suppression)?

Yes they produce as much water and no they are not thicker......with exhausts its luck of the draw and on Taxis they never get cold so never have much condensation in them....

The only thing that might make them last a bit longer is the way they coat the insides with soot!

I think it may have to do with.....some manus fit doubled skinned exhausts....so from new will last quite a while....but cheap nasty fit places only use single skinned so rust thro quicker.

I know on a BMW 735i i once had....it went for a mot 12 years old......mot tester pointed out the outside skin was full of holes.....but as it wasnt blowing from the inside skin he couldnt fail it.

I've had my big red book for a week - but it's got WOOLWORTHS on the front and I can't find any TC parts listed  :-/
