Possibly form an innocenti mini

It slightly resembles a 1275gt exhaust, in the fact that the dimension of the pipe increase's between the two silencers and the tailpipe.

But the mountings and front down pipe look wrong for a GT, so thats what makes me think possibly innocenti

So the rear silencer is the same as Cooper? If so I'll just cut it off and use it on my 1071:)

It looks very much like a 1275GT system with a modified down pipe to fit a short 3-branch manifold. I never understood why they used different pipe diameters, narrow at the front & normal Cooper / S at the rear. If the rear silencer has 1.75" O/D pipes at each end, it should fit your 1071 perfectly. I have often used the rear silencer of these systems for Cooper or Cooper S fitment, they sound good, as well.

The downpipe of my 1275GT system is much longer. Boxes look the same.
