Bert:
Moss Motors have sports exhaust systems with either 1 3/4" or 1 7/8"
straight pipes and a single rear silencer box. Request a copy of
their Special Tuning Performance Manual when you call.
If you ***REALLY*** want to have your exhaust roar, fit a 2" straight
pipe back to a 3-chamber Flow-Master #42050H silencer in the rear,
if this brand is available in Europe. If it is too loud, a resonator exhaust
tip will quiet it down somewhat. Reputedly flows better in the upper
RPM range than a straight through pipe with no silencer at all.
Regards,
Jerry
=I would like to buy a similar exhaust again to the one that came with the car.
=Unfortunately, I've thrown the old exhaust away.
=Can anyone tell me where it came from?
=To identify it:
=a. The exhaust came in three pieces, the first piece (a two-into-one fork )
from the exhaust manifold to somewhere under the seat.
Length probably somewhat under one yard / one meter.
The second piece about the same length, running to the box.
=b. There was only one expansion box, near the L.H. rear wheel.
(no box under the seat, just a length of pipe there = _great_
ground clearance! ).
=c. The sound was _much_ nicer, how can you ever explain that in writing?
A true, sportscar-like 'roar' !
=d. The exhaust connected to the standard, cast-iron manifold and used the
standard fixtures, those near the L.H. battery box and near the rear
bumper.
=e. It was mild steel, i.e. _not_ stainless steel.
=f. There was a manufacturers name pressed in the bottom of the box
(yes, I was stupid enough, not to write it down, thank you... :-) ).
I thought it was something like ''Janspeed", but I have contacted
Janspeed in Britain and they wrote me that they only have made exhaust
systems that require a welded, non-standard exhaust manifold.
=Any suggestions are very welcome. There is no hurry, as I definitely won't
=exchange the exhaust again before the end of the summer season.
=Cheers
