    Default Duel Exhausts Idea

    Good afternoon how you doing, Been a pretty good day so far, while I was at the scrapyard I had an idea, got a exhaust heat shield today, cleaned it and gave it good soaking have to say it's looking pretty good, going to t-cut it in a bit.


    Right my idea is to put a duel exhaust system on my hybrid, think it gives the bank end more of a aggressive look. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=MG...l%3B1026%3B686


    Got to admit it it looks cool. 8-) 8-) 8-)


    Could I buy the duel system in one, Will have to modifi the system to fit or do I have to get it customly made?


    If I give sean the whole system its cheaper, but to make a custrom system talking about £300 which isn't bad, Would buy two of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CIVI...3D161468912556
    Cars can be a pain in the backside, The hybrid has had quite a few jobs done I can say it was money well spent.
    Am I going to give up when ever a problem occurs the answer
    NOT A CHANCE IN HELL
    THIS IS ONE CAR I WILL KEEP TO THE END

    LONG LIVE THE ENTHUSIASTS

    Not that easy to fit a twin exit exhaust to a diesel due to the fuel cooler on the drivers side

    That's very true unless I do it simler to this. http://www.hibexhausts.com/gallery

    He did my Exhaust for me and welded it, plus he's one serious motor sport enthusiats with classic cars.
    Some of the work he's done is just mind blowing.

    More than happy to help with the hunt for your R75V8/ZT 260 David but the discussions on this forum tend to be 260 specific. If you want advice on your present 75/ZT then you might be better asking the questions on the Enthusiasts site or the Owners Club as they both have a less specifically focussed membership.
    Creating a 260 wannabee and using what are proving to be difficult to source parts is quite a difficult project to get involved in especially if those parts are desperately needed to keep this unique model range on the road.

    Ah, I see you already have.

    I have to admit to having a dual exhaust on my ZT190 & one of my R75's (2.0 KV6)

    It's not that I'm a V8 wannabe (I have three V8 cars) but I like the look of dual exhausts.

    I think that when you start to put V8 badges on something that is not, that's a true V8 wannabe.

    Doesn't Rover/Mg already have one of those

    The dual exhaust is not unique to the V8, there are plenty of cars that now have a double exhaust.

    I just wonder how many people would go through the trouble of fitting a M3 style exhaust to a normal Beamer or on a 1.4 Alfa Guilietta to make it look like a 1.75 TBI.

    It's just too easy with the MG..................

    Still, whether I agree or not, people will because they can.

    I bought it at Stoneleigh (I guess) 6 years ago.

    The only other exhaust I like is the E Type V12 one. (My Tow bar gets in the way )
