Question about rear silencer
« on: 05 February 2010, 18:11:19 »
Hello all!

I have found a dual branched rear silencer from Irmscher (i 40 08 041) and I want to put it on my car... But it comes from a 2,6 petrol and I have a 2,5 DTI (both are Facelift models).

My question is: Can I mount a silencer that comes from a petrol engine on my car?

Thank you for you answers!

I want to fit the complete body kit... The silencer can be a problem, but all problems have solutions... I hope!

I can't see you having problems bud. It's something that i've done before, though not on an Omega.

And no problem to fit it? No problem for the VAT? Any accessories needed? Or simply replace the original with the dual?

May be a problem with the fuel tank, as I recall, but might just be on the estates.  Cant remember specifics...  Also, the gen Irmscher rear bumper valance is specially shaped for outlets at either side instead of two on the one side.

Might be worth a PM to user Jim as he was/is doing a similar thing....   :y

I know for the rear bumper, I need to fit the i 40 01 455 with this silencer ;).
I only need to know if I can mount a silencer made for a petrol engine on my diesel... If it's without danger for my engine or others things... I'm not a mechanic specialist...

I've done the same well yours is the 2.5 DTI that they only did in Europe. The prob is the silencer that has 2 inputs and the deisel on has 1 so you'll need to make an adapter.

Do you have an photo's of your engine? I want to do a 3.0d conversion.think the 2.5DTI you have is almost identical?  :)

Of course, here is a picture


So I can put my silencer but I need an adapter? No problem for the VAT?

Thanks for the pic! One without cover would be even better!  ;D

You'll need to make or buy a Y adapter like this, Cant see a problem for the VAT.

Ahhh...the legendary 24V 6 cylinder diesel engine that was never available in right hand drive (and hence none in the uk).

The key thing you have to contend with is the fact that the petrol V6 rear sylencer will ahev 2 inputs and your iesel will only have a single pipe...not a massive problem to sort though.

Thank you Mark, and I'm super satisfied! Flexibility, power, and delicious sound! It's almost like a petrol, no vibrations! And I was lucky to find it in manual, usually It's an auto gearbox.
I'll buy a Y splitter like the one that Nova_Turbo showed me on his link.
