[Healeys] Re Brand new muffer

[Daniel and Diane White]

Jack,
I recently purchased and installed a complete stainless exhaust system 
from AH Spares.  By "complete" I mean downpipes, silencer (in U.K. 
speak) and tail pipes.  I was told they have recently changed suppliers 
from Falcon to Bell.  They said Falcon had some "quality issues" and 
Bell uses a better quality stainless steel.  I opted for their "Big 
Bore" silencer and tailpipes as I wanted a little  more aggressive sound 
than the stock system.  I also used their "super clamps" which don't 
crush the tubes like ordinary muffler clamps (in case you ever want to 
get the system apart). Smear the inlets on the silencer with high temp 
silicone (gold) before assembly and it's leak free.  Installation went 
smoothly but you do have to get the tailpipes in just the right position 
so as not to vibrate against the frame.  I know, it's hard to improve on 
the sound of a Healey but the sound of this system is food for the soul.
