Exhaust Identification

[hughandjenny]

Hi
Bought a lovely 1998 450. It has Racing Red shocks and I think an aftermarket exhaust. It has a standard Y piece and stainless back pipes but a red single large pipe in the middle. I have attached a pic, sorry about the quality. It sounds absolutely superb, but dont they all. Can anyone identify the middle section for me.
Thanks in advance.

Can't really see allot from that pic. Does it have a flexible section near the sump ?
If so it could be a standard one that someone has painted ?

Will have a look tomorrow. Is the standard set up a single pipe? I thought tvr ran twin pipes down to the rear.

Single pipe down the middle, splits in 2 at the rear axle.

This may help the OP from an identification point of view, here's mine when I took it off (100% standard AFAIK):






It's looking a bit different since I removed it ;-) and this is how to keep your hands warm whilst working on it in sub-zero temps:

PS Yes, I DO know the fence want's replacing, but I have my priorities right!

Thanks for that from what I can see mine looks similar, so I think is original. Much appreciated

The exhaust with the flexy are for the 5l .since i fitted the 5l exhaust it has split and it does sit lower to the floor.There is one for sale but it as a silencer in each tail pipe.. not seen one before..Im wondering if i could get away with the solid exhaust with a 5l engine.
