Default What vehicle?

Jordon
Great work.
You mention you made new mufflers. I think here in England we call them silencers.

I know you would have to convert the pipe work but
off what vehicle did you find the mufflers?. Or did you make them?

Regards

Barry

A certain well known vehicle restorer on the South Coast had a batch made up in Stainless Steel sometime ago but I believe they have all now gone.

If you have a set to copy and the more orders the better there are companies who will produce reproductions.

I have a pal that makes custom exhausts out of stainless i can certainly get "cans" (mufflers) made up, but he would need specific dimensions or a knackered one to copy from. the same guy builds lotus 7's from scratch so he is very very skilled, anything theat needs fabricating or tig welded etc etc then he is excelent. but his forte is making bespoke exhaust systems.
