Thanks for that Mike.
A question, did the brass tap for the heater pipe connection fit into the
thread where the brass spigot is on the pump supplied?

My old system was two resonators under the driver's seat and pipes straight
back out the left side. The old system was much too loud and had a nasty
drone to it.
The Moss Tourist Trophy system is quieter and sounds quite authentic to
me. It also bolted right up without a lot of fuss and muss.

Listened to a bunch of BJ8?s over the years, both driving them and listenin=
g from the curb. The exhaust note at idle is one thing but at speed can be =
quite different. Driving across country cruising at 65 to 80 MPH (no admiss=
ion of breaking the law) can be deafening.
Mild steel systems tend to sound a bit different then stainless. I?m partia=
l to the mild steel for sound and stainless for durability. I suppose that =
the use of the car may dictate which type I would choose.
On a related note, the intent of mufflers is to quiet the exhaust note and =
a resonator generally are used to rid the car of drone (resonance). With th=
at in mind (let me know if assume incorrectly) the mufflers on a BJ8 would =
be under the left seat and resonators hung out back. They are there for a p=
urpose. A six cylinder engine has its own interesting sound generating abil=
ities.
To the original question, the Moss system seems to be a good one.

Mild steel really doesnt work, as soon as you smack them, the baffles will
corrode loose shortly thereafter. The SS mufflers seem to take a smashing
much better and still retain their effectiveness. Also, the SS systems
seem to sound just like mild steel after a 5-10K of run in for the carbon
to build up internally.

<br>
If I understand your question correctly you are referring to the heat=
er pipe tap to pump threaded connection?? I have not installed the pump yet=
, but here are a couple of pics of the pump showing the threaded nipple and=
the brand of the pump.? Anyone familiar
with this brand?? The thread is a course tapered one.? There is a zert fit=
ting on the side of the pump about halfway along the shaft for greasing, bu=
t no instructions on how often that should be done.? I'm guessing the heate=
r pipe connection is direct instead
of the original tap that was screwed into the pump.? Not clear if the tap =
that Moss sells will thread into this pump and I don't know if I want to sp=
end $160+ to find out.? Is the tap totally necessary?<br>

To the original question, the Moss system seems to be a good one. <br>

Mild steel really doesnt work, as soon as you smack them, the baffles will<=
br>
corrode loose shortly thereafter. The SS mufflers seem to take a smas=
hing<br>
much better and still retain their effectiveness. Also, the SS system=
s<br>
seem to sound just like mild steel after a 5-10K of run in for the carbon<b=

to build up internally.<br>
