Stainless Steel Exhaust

[jaguar68]

Hi Chaps,

Does anyone know if the "standard" stainless steel exhaust flow better than the normal steel ones? I'm sure in one of the "old school" Minor modification books it mentions using a stainless exhaust on the 1000cc Mini manifold.

Cheers

Just the same - although mine quite quickly became very noisey, suggestion the internals may not have been 'stainless'.

and they dont seem to fit as good as the mildsteel ones

Did you just have the standard b0re??

[bmcecosse]

Yes.

[Morrisminormo]

Did it sound good? What engine/ mods has it got??

[bmcecosse]

It was just noisy - what more can be said! At that time - modified 295 head and larger carb.

How large of a carburettor would you go on 948cc with a future head change ?

Single 1.5" is more than adequate - on a GOOD manifold.
