Stainless Steel Exhaust

Post by 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

John

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

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.
