Wondering if you could give me some advise on an appropriate exhaust for my Traveller.
I've just about finished the engine build - a 1293 S Block running on twin 1.25 SUs - what do you reckon would be the best exhaust to use? I'm looking to have the S look (and note) if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Traveller exhaust
Excellent - thanks Rich.
Another question - as I'm also running with Rod change, the transmission tunnel is obviously quite tight now - will this fit ok do you think beside the rod change? I have been toying with the idea of converting to bring the rods internally.

Re: Traveller exhaust
Do you guys have "muffler" shops over there???
When I bought my RC40 from Minispares years ago the guys were a bit stunned when I asked for a hacksaw. When I explained that I needed to get rid of the spare pipework so I could fit it in my carry-on bag they produced the two muffler cans as separate parts.
I took these to my local shop where they cut and bent suitable pipe to join up the bits... custom fitting is a benefit when you need to fit around a remote shift. Its worked fine on my S and only needed a slight mod when I rebodied the S with the Traveller shell (you try fitting 2 bales of hay in an S).
Cheers, Ian

Re: Traveller exhaust
Ian,
We do have specialists who can do custom work, but they are far from common here.
In general we have less of a history of home modifying cars in the shed & a smaller selection of cars to choose from than in the States, so these specialists are a little few & far between.
I have used this guy before & have always been very pleased with his work.
