[Healeys] Exhaust fitting

[David Nock]

Maybe an 1-2 inches past the bumper at that max not including the bumper guard.

So, what have you found to be the optimum distance? I had been told to get them past the bumper, which I did…but maybe too far?

  You have to be very careful extending the pipes. If they are to far past the muffler the exhaust will be pulled back int the cockpit

    ps. The fumes you're smelling might be coming from the end of the exhaust; if the tip doesn't extend past the rear bumper they can 'curl' back into the cockpit.

      I've had success sealing gaskets and small leaks with high-temp silicone. Edd China used to use some kind of blue paste, but haven't seen any like it around here.

        Hi Folks,

        After many years of service my old stainless exhaust system has had it, and I’ve decided to replace it with another stainless system.
        I wonder if any of you have some tips/tricks for getting a good gas tight fit at the joins.
        I’ve had my car for 45 years and I’ve struggled many times with controlling fumes. I’ve recently replaced the manifold gasket, made up down pipe gaskets out of Remflex ( a graphite exhaust gasket material that compresses), lengthened my old tail pipes, and carefully checked and sealed the firewall.
        It’s become a bit of an obsession for me, so, since I’m starting with a new system, I’m hoping to see an improvement.

        Suggestions?

        Thanks,

        Stephen, BJ8
