Ade-TR4 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi All, anyone found a decent way of getting the exhaust to fit properly through the chassis cruciform? Mine seems to catch and is tight against it causing vibration. cheers Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ade-TR4 Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 should have said that it's a moss sports system btw! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JRCWeedon Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 In my experience (20 years) the exhausts are always a pig. Suggest large crowbar club hammer and oxy welding torch if desperate. Incidentally my present competition system came from Cambridge MS and is the only one to fit properly. Regards John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rudi Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I have fitted a Phoenix single silencer sports system (2 1/4 in). incl. 4/1 manifold on my TR3A. No problems with fitting and no problems at the X-form. I have fitted a bracket 142531 and clamp 130890 (TR5/6 I believe) to fix the linking pipe to the gearbox mount and the silencer is fixed the standard way. Works perfect.

Ade-TR4 Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Cheers I finally found the correct fitting kit for the exhaust (might help!) I'll let you know how it goes...(hopefully) ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ade-TR4 Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 John - I think the crowbar might be a good idea! always good to know someone else has gone for that option too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robgeev Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Out of our 3 TR4's, one hits badly on the chassis hole, one was close and knocked ohe back, the other we had a twin silencer system made! I recently replaced my SS system-as a centre silencer had split on the seam-tut it was only 19 years old! Replaced under warranty-outstanding service! The new system (centre and rear) fitted absolutely A1, also was a bit quieter, seems to have upped torque a little, so perhaps more back pressure-this was the standard system, not the competition version-I like to be able to hear all the bumps and groans on the rest of the car!

Ade-TR4 Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 well, with a bit of help from a trolley jack, the exhaust fitted into place beautifully. No rattles, no resonance. (at last!) Does anyone else's handbrake and "H" bracket get bl**dy hot ? (TR4 only for handbrake) Cheers Ade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
