Griff exhaust change

[Pat400]

Hi all,
I've had my 4.0L griff for 18 months now and still enjoying it. The previous owner fitted a sports exhaust that is virtually straight through, has one small silencer midway. The car sounds awesome (it's a pre-cat), but I've decided after much weighing up that I'm going to sacrifice a little aural thrill for a slightly quieter exhaust. So, two questions;

1. Would anyone be interested in buying my current exhaust?
2. What do people recommend as a good compromise exhaust for a pre-cat engine?

Of course, if anyone has something to swap then let me know. I'm in Bedfordshire if anyone is intersted and wanted to hear it.
Cheers,
Pat

Hi Pat,

I have a 'spare' standard exhaust for a pre-cat hanging in the garage.

I was going to chop the middle box open to sleeve it, but never got round to it.

You're welcome to come round and try it out one weekend on your car. I live in Rugby, drop me a PM.

Strewth, and I thought I had an odd collection of 'spares'

How on earth did you come across a full exhaust?

[jeboa]

lol - I know, you have this thought...I might need that one day....

Along with the 2 x spare engine blocks, pistons, cylinder heads, exhaust manifolds, wheels....

Oh dear.....

Thanks for the offer Jeoba, I may PM you at some point, however I've been thinking today that it seems a shame to get ride of the nice stainless sports exhaust that I have and maybe I'll look at getting it modified to include more of a silencer.
Anyone know of any good exhaust fabricators with RV8 TVR experience?

The standard Pre-Cat exhaust is stainless too, if that's a consideration.

hmm ok thanks... may be tempted to try going back to standard then...

Why not try track day inserts?

If you are near Essex/Suffolk border (I'm on a mobile and the member register doesn't come up) you can try my set.

Craig, sounds good to me. I also collect up parts and spares as and when I find them and they look 'a bargain'. Never know when you will need that 'offset L/H thread depression widget'.........

Hi Dave, that may be a good solution - I have family in cambs/suffolk/essex borders area so may well be your direction soon. Do you have any pics of them fitted? I've seen bolt on silencers at trackdays but they stuck out a fair way and I wouldnt want them on permanently.
