[TR] TR3 exhaust system question

[Carl TR]

It is a Falcon set.  I shortened the pipe 1 1/2" and the front muffler has
1/4" clearance at the front at the chassis and about 1/2" at the rear.   Best
I could do.

Thanks to all for your suggestions and assistance.

Carl

  I concur.  I tried two exhaust systems on my TR3 & neither nor my mechanic
could make them fit.  Finally put the Falcon SS on and it fit fine and will
last forever.

I have found that not all mufflers are the same.  Some suppliers have
a (forward) muffler that is several inches longer than others.  You
may have a longer variety which is fouling with the diff.

Not sure which length is correct, but the shorter one (e.g. Falcon
S/S) is a better fit IMO.
