Exhaust

[PUR TR]

OK I know this topic has come up aload before, and I am really new to register so please simple answers to this question would really help!

 

I have a TR6 1974 RHD and want to replace the exhaust for a stainless steel one, Ok the thing I'm stuck on is which is the best one to go for and do I go for 6-2-1 then back to two outlets or 6-2-2 all the way, please anyhelp, do these exhausts sound any different and performance? thanks Sean (also does it matter if its a 125hp or 150hp (its a 150hp)

Hi Sean

Depends what you want. The twin exhausts on the back look great but they dont flow as well. The single pipe in my opinion gives better flow and a richer exhaust note. So performance wise people tend to go for the single pipe exhaust.

Manifolds are a much discussed issue. I think the trend is to recommend Pheonix manifolds for general road going cars. They are good, but the stainless construction is a bit loud. Collection depends on the exhaust you choose. I would prefer a 6 3 1 as in the race manifold pictured on another tread.

Thanks Noel

 

That helps a lot, was getting confused as have seen so many variations of manifold, I was going to go for a 6 into 1 which then branches off again into 2, but will take a look at the single pipe as you suggested, cheers Sean
