With reference to the noise factor, I don=E2=80=99t notice it. Maybe =

I=E2=80=99m as deaf in my left ear as I am in my right.
One difference =E2=80=93 and all to the good =E2=80=93 we have a lot of =

=E2=80=9CDry stone wall=E2=80=9D but with earth behind them. Anyhow, =
I=E2=80=99ve got a couple of favourites where, revs up, the back echo =
makes the car sound like a low flying Spitfire.
I suppose it helps having the driver=E2=80=99s seat on the opposite side =
from the exhaust, just as nature intended!

Funny story about side exit exhausts.
Back when I was a starving student I installed a side exit system on my =
early LHD BJ8 both because I couldn't afford the full system and being a =
Phase 1 the back was so low that the cross resonators frequently dragged =
on the ground.
The system was very noisy (which at the time I thought was great) but =
resulted in terrible headaches for the driver...me!!!
When I sold that car to buy my 100S I thought that although the"S" had =
similar side exit pipes because it was RHD that would be the passengers =
problem =F0=9F=98=8A.
WRONG.=20

I sent this last night, but it didn=E2=80=99t make it. I=E2=80=99ve cut =
the pictures=E2=80=99 size down. Again:-
=E2=80=9CWhen I decided to explore the idea of a side exhaust for my =
3000 MkII BT7 I was appalled at the cost and mostly by the fact that one =
had to buy, at least, a whole new silencer which came with side exit =
pipes.
It occurred to me that a better solution would be to swap the pair of =
long pipes that came out of the box and went to the rear for a pair that =
simply came out of the box and curved off to the side. ie to keep the =
box, downpipes etcetc and only swap the last bit of pipework.=20
Yes, I know that none of this is much use to BJ8 owners. At least, I =
presume as much. Depends how vital the second, rear, box is.
Anyhow, I mentioned this before and a few people asked for more =
info....pics and dimensions. I=E2=80=99d lost the precise blueprint that =
I drew up for the stainless exhaust man and didn=E2=80=99t have any =
useful pics. Well, the system is on the workshop floor now and =
I=E2=80=99ve taken a few pics and got the tape measure out. Hard to be =
precise with curves, but you=E2=80=99ll get the idea.
It=E2=80=99s been on for about 5 years and seems to be doing OK. Done =
+/- 7,000 miles I=E2=80=99d guess.
See attached. (Being able to send attachments is such a great =
improvement. Being able to receive them is even better!)
=20
So, sorry to bother all of you....but I did say that I=E2=80=99d get =
back with the details. I just didn=E2=80=99t say that it might take a =
year or two!
