Gav,
Nice work on the side pipes. I have a similar style muffler inside my pipes. They are nice and quite when you are at low revs but once you open it up they get very loud.

When building my pipes I was concerned about "over exhausting" the engine and actually reduce low end performance. After asking many questions I built a TRI Y set up. The headers are 4 into 2 and then the 2 go into the 2 1/2 inch perforated tube muffler. It looks as they are a 4 into one system.

Unfortunately with the new engine a 4 into one system is needed so all that work for nothing!!!

There is nothing better than loud rumbling side pipes!!!!

What are you up to phil???

Phil

Garret,
I met a freind of yours the other day. I know it sounds terrible but I cannot remember his name. He is from up here but now lives in Macedon. We met while perving at a mutual freinds GT40. He is a freighter pilot and was telling me about his BMW he rebuilt.
He was telling me of a freind's crazy loud turbo'd cobra and it turned out to be you!!
He actually spoke very highly of yourself and was saying how when you have driven over at least they know you have arrived without knocking.

Gav
