Moliver Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi There, I have bought my TR 2 with a (Moss TT5001)) GT Sport exhaust System. It is the early product in mild steel (later replaced by stainless steel) Something came loose inside the silencer and the nice roaring now comes with a annoying rattle. I would like to just replace by a new stainless one, but unfortunately the GT system is not produced any more.... Well, I do not want to buy an exhaust System without having any idea how it sounds and appreciated any community Input and recommendation. I do not want to have it too noisy, but appreciated a little bit of a roar... I am thinking about going for a Phoenix System (PXS5001) may be in combination with an Extractor manifold (PXTH400). Any experience and Input ? Cheers Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Revington offer a good sturdy stainless steel one, not the cheapest, which needs a bit of patience until it soots up and makes the right noise - for me. I’ve had mine for at least 15 years and am satisfied. I should add that it is fitted to an ‘extractor’ manifold. james Edited August 10, 2020 by james christie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lebro Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Check out the TR shop, they do Phoenix stainless systems. Good quality, good prices. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TwinCamJohn Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Dependant on the condition of the silencer, would it be worth cutting it open, binning the loose bit and welding it back up ? I did that a while ago on my rallye car and it solved the annoying rattle; The system was S/S though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richardtr3a Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I bought a new front box for my 3a and it cost £65.00. Unfortunately it did not fit and I had to fit and remove 3 times and take it to a local exhaust workshop. It was well made and too long with the wrong offset to the front pipe.. It is now working well . Send me a pm if you need to know where it came from. Richard & B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I run a simple 18 inch mild steel silencer, per factory for the early TR2. In today’s world, the throaty rort is just right for me. Back in the day it was deemed too noisy - so a second one was added on later 2s. The single silencer also breathes better and fits really neatly in the space it was designed for. cheers Dan Edited August 12, 2020 by 2long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomMull Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Sorry to butt in as mine is a TR3 but I've recently installed a standard mild steel system on it, which incidentally I found hard to source. The Moss mild steel front pipe didn't fit (they graciously refunded my purchase) and I was lucky enough to find a NOS pipe which did. I used the Moss mild steel muffler and an off the shelf glasspack for the rear muffler. I also used the TR4 cruciform hanger which works great. Sound is perfect to my ear and no vibrations or rattles. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I have a Moss mild steel downpipe under my work bench which didn’t fit when I bought it well over twenty years ago. I’m astonished they still have the same problem - but then maybe I’m not... james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tr2_applegreen Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 What about this one from Abarth? https://www.ebay.de/itm/Triumph-TR3-TR3A-TR4-Abarth-2-part-ABARTH-NOS-Auspuff-Exhaust-system-/223474837720 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
