Hi, I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but I thought that some people on the TVR forum would. I shall direct you there.

general TVR stuff: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?f=13&h=0


Cerbera stuff: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/forum.asp?f=6&h=0

Hope this helps

I presume David Gerrard supply Sports Exhausts, if so, they're in Inkberrow, not far from M5 Jct 6..

If you do pop down, I might be tempted to come down and video you leaving

What about Track car solutions which is Joolz's new outfit. You can see a picture of the finished unit on my profile.

Try Mike at Horizon Motorsport (Cradley Heeth), I think RedLeicester bought his from there

Yep, and would recommend them highly - excellent service on my Cerb and Kevin know the AJP V8s inside and out.

IIRC my sports exhaust was about £300 plus fitting from Mike and sounded ruddy awesome - 108db even though it still had the cats fitted.

I echo jules there... how did you get them that neat!

I bought some 2nd hand and they have the adjustable hangars, in fact they seem pretty much identical. But they look shi*e!

How long did it take?

I am going to have a go at altering them, in fairness the garage who fitted them were struggling to get my car ready for collection so I can kinda forgive them the 'offset tailpipes'

[trackcar]

the trick is to not fit the tailpipes, but fit teh whole system from teh manifolds back.

teh sports pipes always have been and i would imagine always will be *a bit out* .. they're not a mirror image exactly and if you just bolt them up to the intermediate pipes you'll never get them straight.

My preferred route is to fit them onto the intermediate pipes, but have everything loose from the manifolds back .. chop through the linking bars on the intermediate pipes and then line up the tailpipes in the boot floor cut-outs ..

keep adjusting hte central part of the system until you can keep the tailpipes central in the cut-outs and create good space around all the system and the chassis etc.

Re-weld the linking bars onto the intermediate pipes in their new positions and do final tightening of the system clamps. Weld an extra linking bar onto the top section of the intermediate pipes to stop them facturing under the twisting load of the two separate pipes where once there was one big box.

most go quite smoothly but you can spend up to two hours fitting them depending what combination of car / intermediate pipe / chassis closing plate / boot heat shield you have.

Mine are Waaaaay out. Sounds like a tricky ordeal for a mechanical numpty like me! 2hrs...best put a day aside for that!

cheers.
