[Fot] FW: TR3 Exhaust

[Jack Brooks]

It's good to hear that everyone like the stock TR2 muffler.  I took an older TR3 muffler apart and found, like others did, that it was a straight through, perforated pipe, glass pack.

I ordered some Brockman mellowtone mufflers for my TR8 and elected to grab one for the TR3 too.  It was odd calling in a 3 muffler order. <grin>  I love the way they sound on the TR8, which does not currently have a crossover pipe, so it's basically 2 each @ 1.75 liter engines.  It sounds deep and has a great burble at idle and mellows out as the RPM's go up.  I did this late fall and don't have much time on them, but my first impression was awesome and glad I had one more for the TR3.  YouTube has lots of videos with audio.

They are straight through, 2 inch "louvered" pipe, glass packs, so they should flow well.  I will exit at the stock location.

http://www.brockmancustomparts.com/  I brought the 26" body x 36 inch overall ones in a 2 inch glass pack because I wanted relative quiet sound.  They said they use these long ones on busses <blush>  but I love the way they sound on the TR8 and suspect they will be similar on the TR3.

Good luck,

Jack

Friends:


I have the header and collector.  I'm looking for what you have done from that point back.


It's going to be a street-track car.  I've read Kas's book on optimal length/diameter vs power.  I don't think I want a straight pipe. (Maybe I do!)  What's the best sounding and breathing system for these 4 bangers?


Will it sound like 1/3 a Ferrari v12?


Thanks
Todd
