 Hi,
Most of the bolt-on TR6 exhaust systems are fairly easy to install, so I won't 
comment there. That said, I am a big fan of custom exhausts and you can make a 
TR6 sound awesome but not DRONE like some of the systems that are available. I 
had Monza for a long time and while it sounded okay, it was extremely tiring on 
long trips and I made a number of cross country rides to VTR events back in the 
day. About 20 years ago, I fabricated a custom system for my race car. The car 
was used mostly for autocross and sound control was (and is) a big issue in our 
region. I wound up making the system up from 2.5 inch tube into a "turbo" style 
muffler that is packed with sound absorbing material. When you stand on it, it 
marks nicely, but it is fairly quiet at idle and there is no droning at all. A 
custom shop can do the job for you for a a few hundred dollars or if you are 
adventurous, you can fab one up using pre-formed mandrel-bent tubing.
I have a video on YouTOOb of my street car. That one used 2.25 inch pipe which 
is fine if you're not looking to get max power. 74 Triumph Exhaust

If you want to hear the sound of the race car with the 2.5 inch setup and turbo 
muffler, check out any of my in-car videos on you tube.

Last - the stock exhaust manifold is somewhat restrictive. I strongly suggest 
that you pair a good header to your project. The Goodparts setup is a bolt-in 
and it is awesome. The power gains from a good header is worth the $$$.

Everyone,
 
 ?
 
I need to replace the exhaust system on my 1972 TR6.? The current system 
appears to be custom made.? There is a dual pipe coming off the exhaust 
manifold which makes the 90 degree turn to go to the back of the car.? This 
pipe goes from two pipes into one which continues to the rear of the car.? 
There is a single? muffler in line with the pipes. I would like to replace 
everything with a new Bell stainless steel system but have some questions.
 
 ?
 
My first preference is to use the Bell Sport system with two mufflers. If I use 
this where do I attached the muffler hanger bracket for the right muffler? I 
have the mounting tab for the left side but don?t have anything on the right 
side to attach the muffler.
 
 ?
 
My other option is to use the standard stainless steel system with two pipes? 
and the single muffler which goes crossways.
 
 ?
 
I have heard on the list many positive comments regarding the Bell Sports 
system but nothing about the standard system. I plan on purchasing through 
Empire British Car Parts.
 
 ?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
