SS Exhaust manifold for 2.8i

Post by widjetrevived »

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the piper ss manifolds these:
https://www.piperexhausts.co.uk/spec/275/
then renew the rest using powerflow system, there's a local branch near me who comes highly reccomended
was going to renew the exhaust, I'm not sure what's on it at the moment, but it's a bit too loud for my ageing ears I'd just like a nice quiet burble thanks very much :D
any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

A full stainless exhaust has a different resonance to mild steel and they can still sound the business when quietened down to a nice level . I followed a car load of young ins in a mitsi with a big drain pipe and I could hear it droning away from our car ......couldnt hear the doof doof over it 😆
Sometimes I talk to myself ... and we both have a good laugh

Ha ha always nice to not have to put up with the uncouth youth noise! so stainless is a goer then thanks, just need to find out if anyone rates the piper manifolds, I've never been one to trailblaze - unless I have too :D
