Which exhaust?
Discussion
Hi all
looking at replacing my tired old RC40 (actually an RC50 stainless steel version) with a nice new one but I am not sure which to buy
To be honest I have been happy with the RC but seeing as I am restoring the car I thought I might treat it to a new one
I really want a stainless exhaust though so it rules out the Maniflow range (I think so anyway) which I quite like, the other option is an RC40 Millennium
Any opinions?
Cheers

P.S the engine is a Swiftune 1380 in quite a high state of tune so it needs to flow well more importantly than look nice

I am quite fond of the Maniflow stuff (I have one of their stainless LCB's already and will be getting one of their steel inlet manifolds for my twin 1.5 SU's shortly)
They are quite possibly old Downton designs as I believe both Maniflow and Janspeed are both ex employees?? (the Janspeed and Maniflow also look very similar?)
Cooperman, I do like noisy cars hence full straight cut gears and 2 TVR's! (each to their own though!, liked the Miniworld interview by the way)

Maniflow it is then!, spoke with them today (very helpful, spoke with a chap called David who is an ex Downton employee)
I need to get a 1 7/8" system to go with my LCB, I am having this in stainless steel (probably go for a side exit).I did ask about the megaphone type exhaust and was told that it would give me about 1 bhp difference (ok if you are racing etc) and I would be better spending my money on the fabricated inlet manifold for my twin SU's
Not sure whether to go for the megabore tailpipe at £30 extra though, cannot seem to find any pictures of Maniflow tailpipes??
Going to order it tomorrow, should be with me by the end of the week
