making an exhaust?

[Jiffer]

Hi all

I am making a new 2" exhaust for a mk1 gt cortina, its a twin box system with a middle box from jetex and an ashley back box, does it matter where abouts the middle box is fitted?, on the original it was very close to the manifold, does it need to be again?

cheers

 

the bits I'm using

Hi m8, I don't think it will make much difference.

 

On my 1300 Sport originally it had one box at the front and one at the back. On the XR2 it was two at the back. Not sure what difference, if any, it would make.

 

Personally I'd put them where they are easiest to fit.

Hello Jiffer,

 

I don't think it will make much difference at all, especially as you seem to have the straight through SIMONS silencer that I used. I imagine with other heavily baffled and restrictive silencers you may get some kind of wave effect going on that may help extraction, but with your silencer I would just concentrate on practicality and routing.

 

Get the straightest, bend free system done that you can
