Chimaera exhaust pipe
Discussion
The exhaust system on my Chimaera has been messed around with so much over the years (to accomodate a dry sump for one thing) that I can't remember what the standard pipe looked like. I'm particularly interested in the pipe that runs past the sump. Is this a solid piece of pipe or is it a flexi pipe?
Does anyone have any pictures to hand?
Cheers

The exhaust system is completely standard - no baffles removed, I personally don't like the 'American V8' sound this produces. The car is de-catted though, but there was no vibration when the car had it's 5.1litre motor fitted. It's now converted back to 4.0litre with a different cam, lightened flywheel and Link engine management (ignition and fuel).
I've converted it back with a view to selling and purchasing an Ultima as I can't import newer TVRs into NZ.
The 5.1 engine has Group 'A' heads (alternative casting) steel crank and rods, forged pistons, one-piece rings, lots of Cosworth parts, venolia flywheel etc etc. It's a complete monster but is going to be rebuilt with the intention of putting into an Ultima GTR complete with Vortech supercharger. I've been trying to decide whether to use a Chevvy but given the weight of the American V8 I think a lazy 450+bhp from the Rover will be more cost effective than having to spend 15,000GBP+ to get the equiv.
We're going to have a play with the connecting plate below the silencer and if that doesn't fix it we may put a piece of flexi-pipe into the exaust to give some more 'give'.
