exhaust system
I had the chief scientist from FlowMasters spec out a system for my tiger. It might be of value for your consideration. I had a built 260 running stock exhaust manifold into 2.25 pipes with a cross over pipe into delta 50 mufflers and exiting with the same 2.25 pipes. Very clean system which ran better than the system sold years ago for tigers. The mufflers had the right flow and sound. I think tubular headers would have been the right thing to do as well.

Hi Bill,
Did this particular system fit through the stock X frame holes or did you have them enlarged? Do you have any pictures of this system? Was it fairly loud at speed?
Thanks, Robin.

exhaust system
This systems was just perfect in my opinion. It fit through the cross members, though I do not know if the body shop helped that effort. It has the right sound at idle and under full acceleration. And most important since, I ran the hard top most of the time, no drone sound. Hence you can talk while driving on the freeway. Sorry no pictures as that car was sold. I will repeat the design with my new tiger but with slightly larger pipes as it is a stroke 302.
Best,
Bill

I went with the Double S Exhaust system (hecto in England) from Rick. The car sounds completely different now. On my initial test drive I about swapped ends when making my first turn from a stop. The old system must have been VERY restrictive/clogged. My carb now needs a re-jet, I am leaning out on the secondaries.
Thanks. I do know that Rick is the Rick from Sunbeam Specialties. I've bought a lot of stuff from him already. Rick has some nice stuff, but his catalogue leaves a lot to be desired. I will likely order an exhaust system from him, but the problem is that I have no idea what it looks like, and I have no idea what kind of mufflers come with it, or basically anything else. While I'm at it, is there any way to install headers without removing the engine? That would be nice, but I'm doubtful! Thanks!

It is very attractive and the exhaust tips are polished. Sounds great too. I'll get some pictures tomorrow.
