Snapper Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Ashley Injection head Kent FR30 or FR34 FR32 if you want a bit more revs and a nice burble on the overrun FR32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRS8084 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Twin box Janspeed. .............I had a single box system in the 80s but it was just to much on a run. The twin box system still sounds great but you can live with it on a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteRS8084 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 My janspeed looks pretty old skool, but I have seen new stainless ones..........They look nice, but do they demand money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meXEco Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Buy stainless buy once.....if you can afford it you'll never need to buy another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tackleberry Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Give longlife exhausts a look if you're local to Wallington/Carshalton area. Top job.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vista Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Buy stainless buy once.....if you can afford it you'll never need to buy another. Agreed, I have stainless exhausts on all three cars. The 2 1/4" one on the RS has been on it at least 10 years and still looks new. The one on the Alfa even longer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khanlad Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Agreed id only put a stainless on a car now if i was going to replace one, fit once, forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2litreScapri Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I currently have a Sportex manifold & 3" full system. Has been said on more than one occasion mine sounds like a 3 litre. Only engine tweaks to mine is a lightly skimmed head due to engine rebuild but pretty much standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigglesmk2 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Do i go for the 2" or the 2 1/2" ? Apart from the size, whats the difference? Noise/power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vista Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 2 1/2" too big for a standard Pinto. 2" should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tackleberry Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 2 1/2" too big for a standard Pinto. 2" should be fine Ditto.. I've got a standard 2.0ltr pinto with an Ashtons 4 into 1 manifold with a 2" stainless straight through..sounds nice with increased performance. Only go bigger if you're upgrading to a 2.1...

Snapper Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 2.1 is only 5% bigger than standard and most 2.1's are less than 2090cc Exhaust size is more about the cam, head flow and max revs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigglesmk2 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Ok... One more thing.... I can buy a LH or RH exhaust system, obviously it's left hand or right hand but what's it referring to? left hand drive/ left hand exit/ mounted from the left hand side of the engine? Or am i just being dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tackleberry Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Which side is your current system on...I suggest that's what it's referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigglesmk2 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Im having the car rebuilt, a crossflow came out of the car and a pinto is going in... If you stand in front of the car looking into the bay with a pinto engine, the exhaust is on the left But is the the exhaust system classed as left hand from the front looking in the bay or a right hand system from sitting inside of the car looking out ?

It's not the exhaust that makes the engine pop and fart , just advance the dizzy if that's all your after, the car will only sound as good as the engine, for a good sound get a nice stainless janspeed and play with the dizzy until it pops when you change down,trouble is its not meant to do that if it's set right on a rolling road ,that's why they change jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
