Saloon vs Tourer Exhaust silencer

Hi Everyone,

Am I right in thinking there is no difference??
The tourer one will fit fir a saloon but just has longer tails pipes??

kind regards

I think you'll find that they are different. My local garage had several deliveries before they got the right one for my Tourer.

I thought the tourer and the saloon differed in length, but they do not. Having just checked my owners hand book.
I think they would be identical, but check with Rimmers and see if they have different part numbers?

HI Mate, I have a feeling that the tail pipes are longer on a tourer.

The Rimmer listings, such as they are these days, indicate the OEM parts vary not only between saloon and tourer but between the 75 and the ZT. The aftermarket alternatives could be fit-all versions. It's a matter of checking each bit.

The 75 & ZT are different - 75 tips turn down, ZT tips straight out through the bumper cutout.

I am sure the tourer ones have longer tips for both on the Tourers/wagons/estates/kombis than on the sedans/saloons/limousines.

Of course, there are work-arounds for that with hacksaws and altered or aftermarket tips when push comes to shove.

Cheers,
Glenn

I have just fitted a rear exhaust box to a ZT-T from euro car parts. It fits fine except for the short tail pipes as previously mentioned. When I fitted one of these before I have lengthened the tail pipes by cutting off the very end of the pipes and fitting some chrome tail pipes from ebay. This then brings the tailpipes out of the back of the car as per original. The euro car parts box is not the best quality and do not last many years.

I also needed to fit a cat for the front and bought from Ebay. This unit was about 6 inches too short and needed a connector making up from an exhaust place that we use.

Having got a Tourer back box on my saloon I can tell you that they do fit but you will either have to cut out bumper and fit a ZT alloy cap or cut the exhaust tips back. With mine the support brackets were extended so the exhaust went under the bumper without cutting either. If you zoom in on the pic you will see what I mean
