3.7 Exhaust System
3.7.1 Extensions and Optional
Exhausts
CAUTIONS:
Non-standard systems must be
tested for engine back pressure and
all legal compliance (noise and
emissions)
Make sure that for any pipes that
require bending, the radius of the
bend is minimum 2.5x tube diameter
Make sure that sufficient clearance
is maintained for all driving
conditions to all hot and moving
components.
NOTE: Where possible all pipe connections
should be designed so that the gas flows from
smaller to larger diameter pipes
For some territories a side exhaust is available as
a Special Vehicle Option on Chassis Cab.

CAUTIONS:
Maintain the original set-up and heat
shields
Do not position any plastic, rubber
or any other components closer to
the down pipe, catalytic converter
that the original Ford design (100mm
minimum).
3.7.3 Exhaust Heat Shields
Low Floor Exhaust Heat Shields
•
Catalytic converters, in particular, operate at
high temperatures
•
Ensure existing shields are maintained
•
Add further shields over exhaust system as
necessary to avoid fire risk.
