Brutal.
Real TVR power.
What will the neighbors think of it.
Hope it will survive speed bumps.

I suppose, it marks me as slightly inconsiderate, not to have considered the neighbors, in the design of the exhaust. They're nice, too. I like 'em. Good folk to share a pint with. Anybody further than ten meters can go suck it. Real TVR power.

Should be better, over the humps, than it used to be, in six cylinder guise. It had 6 into 1 -3" pipe, into 2, into 2 - 2 1/2" high Flowmaster mufflers. They were solidly built. I know, because I was stuck, like a tortoise, on speed bumps,, a couple of times. The mufflers sustained scratches.
Best regards,

hi bernard, just a point, with the length of your headers reaching out across the car i feel some thought should be given, if you haven't already done so, to substantial engine stabilization. just a small radial movement will be greatly amplified. i'm not teaching my granny to suck eggs am i? if so sorry. best regards keith
That's part of the genius of Bob Butler, exhaust fabricator extraordinaire. The first 18"-20" of the 4" diameter section is a Dynomax "bullet" type cherry bomb-style muffler. It is still 3" in, 3" out, so it will doubtlessly not be particularly quiet, but I was not eager to choke the flow, using smaller than recommended diameter pipe.
Bob was suggested by David Z, Grantura MkI, on here. Yet another way, in which David's helped to move this project forward.
The closest (proper) track, around me, is Willow Springs. It's old, fast, and not in a population center. I hope the car will be quiet enough, for them.
Best regards,
Bernard.
