[Healeys] Heavy exhaust in car

[Michael Salter]

I shortened the tail pipe on my 100 and immediately found that I had a
problems with fumes getting into the car.
Try putting a temporary extension on the tail pipe(s) and see if the problem
goes away.
If you look at the original drawings of the 100 the tail pipe extends quite
some distance from the back of the car, more than looks correct, I'm pretty
sure that is why!!
