[Guest]

Nice one marcus, don't forget I need pictures and video clips for the website!

[Matto 180]

Does that mean two noisy Fs on Sunday

[Guest]

Yep, but I still have my MK2 on, as my MK3 isn't coming yet as it is going to be a special one!

Special, meaning very loud I guess...

[Guest]

Nah, not extra loud. All I know is Neil is getting me "a really good one". I'm waiting to see what's happening with it!

[M77XNE]

I think I will bring my PINK ear plugs along with me!!

Got any spares? Don't care what colour. They'll all be blood red by the end of the day!!!!

[Captain Jack]

you'll be ok for this meet without the earplugs, simply haven't got the time today & tomorrow isn't looking too promising either..............but soon, v. soon

[Stiff]

Forgive the ignorance, but what is so special about these exhausts? I've only ever heard one or two, and they just sound loud and boomy. Not tuneful or anything.

My daytona had a gorgeous burble to it, and the Janspeed I had before that had a italian-esque wail at high revs.

At the next meet I think I'll have to badger someone into taking me for a spin

You want an exhaust that sounds like this....

That's my old TF after I took the Daytona off.

[Guest]

Hey Stiffy, that's pretty much what a TT sounds like!!! here's what my one sounds like - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvFXrKxKCJ8

What's special about them.... Well, it was the exclusivity and still is to a certain extent. Also, it is a proper 'straight thru' design, and is not chambered like most of the exhausts for the F/TF.

[Captain Jack]

all i know is when i get it fitted i expect to become the God of thunder!!!

[Dark Knight]

Cool. I'll have a listen at lunch time.
I've seen pictures of it and I'm sure powerflow could knock one up just the same. I had a powerflow cylindrical silencey that would have done the same job. It's now going on a Triumph Spitfire for a side-exit system!

I'm still sceptical.

[Guest]

Absolutely, equally LongLife could easily provide a straight through system. I guess it's all in a name! It was the first straight thru exhaust for the F, and Trevor only made about 15 before he died. It was that which made these things so special and talked about.

Are the MK3 exhausts that special???? Honestly, probably not (infact before Neil planned to get the 3rd batch of these made, when people asked me about exhausts if they wanted something similar I'd tell them to go to LongLife and choose the sound pitch and volume and the tail pipe finishers design and have a bespoke system), but having an exhaust that has been based on the design that was done by Trevor, is still something special, and they are extremely well made.

So, what do you get..... A true straight through exhaust, made from high grade stainless steel, with a design, pitch & volume the same as the original design done by the famous Trevor Taylor. Manufactured in limited edition.

[Stiff]

I had a listen at lunch and it does sound quite nice. Still prefer the daytona though.

OK, last question, who's Trevor?

[Guest]

Trevor Taylor. His company was Trevor Taylor Conversions, an MG specialist.

[Captain Jack]

Im hoping to get it fitted on saturday or somepoint this weekend and go for a blast through Hatfield tunnel a few hunderd times ( just to make sure )

You'll love it!

Be interesting to see what you think to driving with the hood up and windows closed tho. That is when most people complain about the MK1 & MK2 exhausts as the sound just resonates around the cabin and is a bit deafening.

[Captain Jack]

It'll be a nice change from all the squeaks n rattles im used to!

[Dark Knight]

So marcus is it on?

[Captain Jack]

unfortunatley no. Had all day to do it, she was at work, sounds easy!! Could i get the bolts off?

Could i *%£) !

I managed to get 2 off n that was it...........so reluctantly decided to head down to the local mechanic to get it booked in for Friday.

[Dark Knight]

i think you need an angle grinder thats the usual way to get them off

[Captain Jack]

I was determined to get these nuts off, half n hr and still no movement, so i thought rather than sheering them, rounding them and /or/ pretty much having a hissy fit at them, id leave to someone who'd probably be able to do it in bout half hr.

SO frustrating though, the TT is still sitting there, all shiney n new, in its box and not on the car!!!!!!!
