[Healeys] FW: Side exhaust idea

[Simon Lachlan]

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"
