Didn't realize that Moss was on youtube, now I have a bunch more stuff to 
watch! The TT exhaust system is certainly nice looking and sounds
great too.

Subject: [Mgs] Tourist Trophy exhaust?

Hi guys - time to order the exhaust system for my '74 restoration.  I'm having 
the factory manifold Jet-Hot coated, so whatever exhaust I purchase will have 
to mate with the manifold (no header systems).

The two top candidates at this point are the Falcon Big Bore system and the 
Moss Tourist Trophy system.  The BB has lots of advocates, and is clearly 
geared towards performance as well as durability.  My main goal is good 
performance for my motor (9.0:1 CR pistons, Piper 270 cam, P&P head, stock HIFs 
with K&N).  Appearance and sound are secondary concerns.

So what's the scoop on the Tourist Trophy?  Kelvin?  I saw a nice YouTube video 
with Kelvin describing the TT features.  But what I haven't seen is hard data 
on its performance characteristics.  I really like the upgraded mounting system 
of the TT, and sure, it's pretty, but how does it perform relative to the BB 
(and relative to the Peco, apparently the "gold standard" of fast road MGB 
exhaust systems)?

Thanks for any input!
