Coupé exhaust

Post by Finland »

Hello and greetings from Finland!

I just bought a -98 406 Coupé with 2,0 petrol engine (XU10J4R).

The exhaust of the car is leaking and it seems like it will come down at any moment. :lol: I think the exhaust pipe doesn´t fit the car perfectly. The "center box" of the exhaust doesn´t fit to its place and it must be slightly inclined...
So, my question: if I buy a exhaust of a sedan 406 (the same engine, of course!), will it fit to a Coupé? Is there any difference between exhausts of sedan and coupe? I can easily find a new exhaust to sedan but i have not found one that is said to be suitable to a coupe.

Thank you and sorry for bad English!

Good evening, erm, Finland :shock: (why do I feel like James Hetfield?)

Just checking the diagrams, the centre section is the same part numbers, the rear box is different though and I don't know if this is just the different tailpipe, it could be longer (not sure if this will be a problem for you anyway). This is original parts, so if there's some non-standard parts then all bets are off I'm afraid.

By the way your English is perfect :wink:

All the same.
The difference in part number on the back box is indeed the tail pipe - coupe is straight, saloon curves down.
