TA Exhaust System

[Brian Rainbow]

Ken, the complete TC system will not fit the TA with MPJG engine. The front pipe from the manifold to the silencer is different. I believe the silencer and tailpipe are the same. I have a stainless exhaust system on my TA purchased from the Octagon Car Club, they list sepetae TA and TB/TC systems... I have since been told that stainless steel exhaust systems do not conduct the heat away as efficently as mild steel, possibly leading to a cracked exhaust manifold, or worse, cracks in the cylinder head within the centre siamesed exhaust port... I know the heads are prone to cracking there, but I am sure they cracked before stainless steel exhausts became available!! I fitted a brand new exhaust manifold at the same time as the stainless exhaust system, about 18 months and 8,000 miles ago, so far I have had no trouble....
