[Mgs] Tourist Trophy exhaust?

[Dan DiBiase]

Didn't realize that Moss was on youtube, now I have a bunch more stuff to watch! The TT exhaust system is certainly nice looking and sounds
great too.

Subject: [Mgs] Tourist Trophy exhaust?

Hi guys - time to order the exhaust system for my '74 restoration.  I'm having the factory manifold Jet-Hot coated, so whatever exhaust I purchase will have to mate with the manifold (no header systems).

The two top candidates at this point are the Falcon Big Bore system and the Moss Tourist Trophy system.  The BB has lots of advocates, and is clearly geared towards performance as well as durability.  My main goal is good performance for my motor (9.0:1 CR pistons, Piper 270 cam, P&P head, stock HIFs with K&N).  Appearance and sound are secondary concerns.

So what's the scoop on the Tourist Trophy?  Kelvin?  I saw a nice YouTube video with Kelvin describing the TT features.  But what I haven't seen is hard data on its performance characteristics.  I really like the upgraded mounting system of the TT, and sure, it's pretty, but how does it perform relative to the BB (and relative to the Peco, apparently the "gold standard" of fast road MGB exhaust systems)?

Thanks for any input!
