[Healeys] Unidentified exhaust pipe

[Max Byers]

They look pretty much the same to me, except my pipe does not have the relief slots in the muffler end.  That’s why I thought my pipe was supposed to go INTO the muffler stub pipe, rather than over it like my BJ8.     However, I did not know this when I sent my inquiry but I have another exhaust system that appears to have a very similar, if not exact, pipe attached to the muffler.  That pipe has no slots and DOES got over the muffler stub pipe.  Photos attached.  This has the hand-written P/N 021-025 and 021-026 attached to it, which is the Moss number for a mild steel front pipe and muffler for a BN1/BN2.  Does this add anything to the conversation?

 

Photo attached.

Bob, 

 

This looks to me to be a very correct, and possibly an NOS downpipe for a BN1/2.

 

Please see the attached photos of my NOS downpipe installed on my Concours BN1 and compare.

 

Cheers,

 

Curt

Looks more like a BJX pipe to me. The 100s' downpipe should run pretty much straight down from the manifold, else the clutch lever can hit the pipe when pressed to the floorboard (the one on my BN2 does; most annoying). Most/all aftermarket pipes cause this, and I'm told at least some of the OEM pipes did as well.

Hello, Healeyphiles –

 

Can anyone identify the exhaust pipe in the attached photos?  It has two “Made in England” labels on it and the numbers SU-529 and 02.106.1 but I am unable to find a reference to those numbers.  The pipe may be for some model of Healey (not BJ8) or not.  It’s painted and apparently unused, but it has surface rust where the paint has flaked off.   The pipe is intended to go INSIDE the muffler stub pipe.

 

Thanks!
