Dodgy Exhaust pipe thread.

[AMGeed]

There was a time. not too long ago when spotting quad exhaust outlets on the rear of a car meant you had a cooking V8/10/12. Not any more

Check out this effort on a Ford van


I think I'd be embarrassed to climb out of that with those on the back.
But everyone is doing it. Puny 1.4 litre SE Asian cars now sport twin exhaust exits, whereas 10 years ago that meant a V6 or at least a pokey 2lt lump.
But Mercedes are just as bad. Nearly every A and C class has twin exits whatever the engine and even the quads on V8 AMG's are hiding a single pipe each side.

Still at least I haven't had to listen to fake exhaust notes played trough the stereo. Mercedes are guilty of that too.

Anyone got any photos of exhaust howlers?

I am inspired, I need a full range set of shiny pipes like a cathedral organ.

Can you get them mechanised so they can undulate to order like a Mexican wave?

You need a Bosozoku car then...

I had a pair of 1 into 2 megaphone silencers for twin cylinder bikes to look like 4 cylinder, I thought a Benelli 750/900 Sei would be a great candidate for 3 sets......

I have to confess.

I’ve had:

1) A large exhaust pipe sticking out the center of the rear of my 1960s Mini 850. Probably 2.5” diameter. The exhaust brand was ‘Cobra’ and the car also had some sort of downdraft (instead of the normal SU) carb. Don’t know if it was any faster but it was a load of fun.
2) A Renault R10 (Alconi motor purchased from a wrecker) with a motorbike exhaust (IIRC it came off my friend's BSA 650 Lightning when he installed megaphones) bolted crosswise to my bumper and connected to the engine with a flexible pipe.

We do some stupid stuff when we are young.

Why just when we are young?

Peco was de rigueur for Mini exhausts, carb may have been a Weber 28/36 from a Cortina 1500 GT or a Nikki conversion.
