I sent this last night, but it didn't make it. I've cut the pictures' size
down. Again:-

"When I decided to explore the idea of a side exhaust for my 3000 MkII BT7 I
was appalled at the cost and mostly by the fact that one had to buy, at
least, a whole new silencer which came with side exit pipes.

It occurred to me that a better solution would be to swap the pair of long
pipes that came out of the box and went to the rear for a pair that simply
came out of the box and curved off to the side. ie to keep the box,
downpipes etcetc and only swap the last bit of pipework. 

Yes, I know that none of this is much use to BJ8 owners. At least, I presume
as much. Depends how vital the second, rear, box is.

Anyhow, I mentioned this before and a few people asked for more info....pics
and dimensions. I'd lost the precise blueprint that I drew up for the
stainless exhaust man and didn't have any useful pics. Well, the system is
on the workshop floor now and I've taken a few pics and got the tape measure
out. Hard to be precise with curves, but you'll get the idea.

It's been on for about 5 years and seems to be doing OK. Done +/- 7,000
miles I'd guess.

See attached. (Being able to send attachments is such a great improvement.
Being able to receive them is even better!)

So, sorry to bother all of you....but I did say that I'd get back with the
details. I just didn't say that it might take a year or two!

Simon"

When I was in college I had a BN7 that had a side exhaust and I liked how
cool was the growl of the exhaust and visible flashes from the tailpipe on
downshifting.  Way Cool...  So about ten years ago I decided to put a
side-pipe on the 100.

It was no difficult deal and I simply got a piece of pipe bent with the
right sweep and cut to length with an appropriate angle at the tip which
just cleared the left rear tire.  I instantly gained a bit more ground
clearance in the back and the sound and light show was about as I
remembered from my younger day

Then I took a couple of days' road trip and I found that the exhaust noise
simply wore me out and at the end of the day my already-diminished hearing
was about non-existent.

So when I got home I removed the short pipe and reinstalled the
original--and there it sits

I don't know if I have grown up or simply grown old but sometimes cool is
not the same as it once was.

Simon,

very interesting.

Some years ago I had a custom system made for my 100/6 by a company called
Bell(?) or Bell's in Swindon. I think that the cost may have been £200 or
thereabouts. It was very effective with piping similar to yours but they
recessed the box a bit more than yours looks like it is (although they may have
used a more flattened section box) and I think that the pipes were cut closer to
the side to avoid risk of burning.

Worked very well took me down from 108dB+ to something more road legal.
