original (quite) exhaust system for a 1600 xflow mk1 escort

[72mk1escort]

Im after a quite exhaust system for my mk1 escort it has a 4 branch ashley manifold which i would like to keep and i want to fit a standard type exhaust (centre and rear section) to get it back to as quite as an original escort mk1 mexico etc. 

 

has anyone got any ideas as all i can seem to find is loud ones like ashley and sportex etc. 

 

Maybe im just getting old but I want it to be quite on the motorway as i went for a drive last night and got home deaf lol

Hello mate,

 

I just had PipeCraft in Basildon make me a new bit for my exhaust. I kept my 4 branch, and they stuck a quieter box on the back. Before I had a straight pipe and a cherry bomb (which was clocking 95db in the car... Ouch). Now I still have the straight pipe but a decent back box, all fabricated and fitted for £110 + VAT, which isn't bad. It's much better now, so might be worth a trip to Essex?

 

Hope this helps,

 

Cheers, Dave

I've source and fitted a 1600 ghia exhaust in the past and used on a Mk1 .................. think i had to alter the brackets slightly.

I have the perfect solution.............

 

99p on eBay, you could buy a shit load of these and throw them away for the long trips, keep the BARRRRP BARRRRP for day to day driving
