[Mgs] mufflers

[Councill, David]

I am a bit puzzled by this. I put a stock exhaust on my 64B, purchased from
Moss or a reseller maybe two years ago. A check at Moss Motors shows parts and
prices, indicating they should still be available (unless temporarily out of
stock?).

As far as my experience, for the original post, my MGs are all running stock
exhaust systems (64b, 67BGT, 72B). For a long time, probably 1980 to maybe
1999, I used the ANCO or ANSI (I think that was the name) exhaust which had a
more tubular muffler. I liked the rounded muffler because it was less likely
to catch on road bumps and as I recall, it seemed a bit quieter than the
stock. I don't see it on Moss website now so I am not positive I have the name
right.

It is hard to say which exhaust is truly louder though without comparing two
cars side by side or measuring with a decibel meter though. I just know the
original exhaust works fine and is inexpensive.

On this subject . . .

My '67 B has a straight pipe where the muffler should be.  I want to get a
stock muffler for it, but Moss doesn't have them.  A friend says the Moss
mufflers for later Bs can be adapted to a Mk 1 car.  Anyone done this?

Does anyone have any experience buying or using a stock type muffler on an
early B?

Thanks!
