[6pack] exhausting question

[Jim Jones]

My '72 had an English stainless steel 2 1/4 single pipe exhaust system that was recommended for fast street applications. It had a very nice sound. But the tail pipe has a quirkly look about it. It was up turned at about a 30 degree angle to avoid scraping and the tip had a 90 degree cut. Some do not care for the look and others complained that it invited rain to accumulate in the pipe. My fix was to put an old Falstaff can over it when it was not being driven.
If I were to do it over again I would still use that system. Very well made.

 After 20 years, I need to replace the custom exhaust and the header that came on my 73 in 1997.   Looking at Ansa,  but wanted to get folk's opinions and recommendations.    On the header, I'm wondering if I should simply go back to an exhaust manifold that's correct for my year,   I hear that the later exhaust manifold actually flows okay.      This is strictly a street car that typically doesn't see high revs.    If I stick with header, the choice seems to be Pacesetter or one of the SS ones from England.   Head shaved to give about 9.3 compression.   Early TR6 PI type camshaft.   Crane ignition, SU carbs. KN filters
The general tone of on-line comments on monza exhausts for TR6 isn't enthusiastic.
I was advised that getting a pre-built exhaust may be way to go for TR6 as needed bends are trickier for a local exhaust shop.
cheers & thanks,   Bruce Simms_______________________________________________
