Funny story about side exit exhausts.
Back when I was a starving student I installed a side exit system on my ear=
ly LHD BJ8 both because I couldn't afford the full system and being a Phase=
 1 the back was so low that the cross resonators frequently dragged on the =
ground.
The system was very noisy (which at the time I thought was great) but resul=
ted in terrible headaches for the driver...me!!!
When I sold that car to buy my 100S I thought that although the"S" had simi=
lar side exit pipes because it was RHD that would be the passengers problem=
 =F0=9F=98=8A.
WRONG.=20

=E2=80=9CWhen I decided to explore the idea of a side exhaust for my 3000 M=

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 =

Yes, I know that none of this is much use to BJ8 owners. At least, I presum=

With reference to the noise factor, I don=E2=80=99t notice it. Maybe =
it=E2=80=99s a reasonably effective silencer. First of its kind? Maybe =
I=E2=80=99m as deaf in my left ear as I am in my right.

One difference =E2=80=93 and all to the good =E2=80=93 we have a lot of =
roads down here with stone walls on either side. Kind of like a =
=E2=80=9CDry stone wall=E2=80=9D but with earth behind them. Anyhow, =
I=E2=80=99ve got a couple of favourites where, revs up, the back echo =
makes the car sound like a low flying Spitfire.

I suppose it helps having the driver=E2=80=99s seat on the opposite side =
from the exhaust, just as nature intended!
