original diameter of the open tail pipe

[wolfgang.thaller@avl.com]

Dear T-typers around the globe, Who of you knows the original inner- and outer-diameter of the open tail pipe for MG TC ? My TC has installed a stainless steel exhaust gas system but I think the diameter of the open tail pipe is not as it was with the original systems in the fourties ! I think on my TC the diameter is too small ! The original sound of the engine combined with stainless steel systems with too small diamters is going lost Every information is appreciated - also inch dimensions instead of the metric ones Thank you from very cold Austria (last weekend more than 50cm new snow !) Wolfgang / TC4170

Guten tag Wolfgang: The original diameter of the TC tail pipe was 1 1/4 in.This is too small in my estimation.I prefer 1 1/2 in. This should suit most street driven cars. tschus: Skip Kelsey...................................... At 09:54 AM 3/27/02 +0100, wolfgang.thaller@avl.com wrote:

Ken: I suppose there is, but I have never done it.The TD system had the same small diameter pipe, but the new systems are made with a 1 1/2 in. tail pipe. Skip.............................................. At 01:23 PM 3/27/02 -0500, kwcp wrote:

I made a custom exhaust for a customers TC using a TF muffler and tail pipe, was not hard if you are creative. Joe Curto

Hello to All On the exhaust note, pardon the pun, I grew up with a family that had a TC that was raced in the 50s and never "changed over to the street". It had a straight pipe exhaust, and as I recall a diameter of 1 1/2 or so. It was not too loud and as my TC has a crummy exhaust system which is too narrow, hangs too low blah, blah....I intend to have a stainless one made locally soon. If I encounter some friction from the authorities, I can cut it and add a Flow Master, low profile muffler. It wont be "stock, but what I have is and it is not so hot. Vote with the "loud peddle".

FWIW: I use a straight through "cherry bomb" muffler of about 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 on my TD. The only time it seems loud is when you go through a tunnel or along echoing walls. Blake

I just made a straight pipe connection to replace my stainless steel muffler. The sound brings back memories of club racing in the early sixties in a TF. California Kid TC6749
