exhaust note

[samp5679]

would fitting tubular manifolds give a much deeper v8 burble as my dads stag has sports manifolds and sounds like a different car to my stag which has stanadard manifolds

[Stagdad]

I think the tubulars sound a little bit harsher ,more metalic if you get my drift,I think the standard ones sound deeper,but it's all good

Tubular manifolds definitely change the sound, though I wouldn't have described it as deeper if anything its just louder and a bit more raucous.

my exhaust sounds high pitched and tin like not deep ????????????? its has the large bore on...

[StagnJag]

I cant say I noticed much difference. I have the small bore tailpipes at the moment though. (I have the big ones ready to go on. )

Do the tail pipe sizes not make a differance to the exhaust note ? Having heard a few Stags with the smaller bore t/pipes they sound crisper than my large bores which sound deeper. Martin

If Dad's car has the larger (MK1) tail pipes, and yours has the smaller (MK2) ones, that will explain the difference in sound. Stainless is invariably thinner, and the sound decays a bit, but as Steve says, it's all good, there's NOTHING like the sound of aV8 Martin.



oops - late again.

[samp5679]

both cars have stainless large bore just the old mans sounds a lot deeper and more burble and it sounds a load better

[samp5679]

just measured my old small bore against large bore that are on the car and the small bore are nearly 2 inches longer is this correct??

I replaced my silencers with a pair of straight through ones from MIJ exhausts. It's no louder than standard, but the note is much deeper. Sounds like a larger V8.

They only cost me £80 a pair and are stainless. They are real beauties too . If you want any more info. just let me know.

Mean't to say I'm running the larger bore tailpipes too

yes iam defo interested do you have the contact details

Generally I find tubular manifolds give a crisper note rather than a deeper one, but check your fuel mixture and ignition timing as I find if either of these are out it tends to give a more muffled sound to the exhaust, particularly if it is running rich

actually the carbs are a bit iffy at the moment , wounder if thats the reason

Fitting a 38 weber on mine evened the exhaust note on mine .John

[STAG1973]

I have gone from standard manifolds and small bore, to tubulars and large bore exhausts, the note seems to be more deeper than before and slightly louder (if that makes sense) but the added bonus of the tubular manifolds is that the gases escape faster improving engine pformence etc..
