Title: Affordable exhaust (header and muffler)
Post by: LoopyLoo60 on October 11, 2019, 20:02:48 pm
Hi all,

Can I ask what exhaust setup everyone is running?

Based in the UK and there are a couple which have caught my eye but the cost is just too much (CSP Wasp my preferred but out of budget).

I'm getting a 1914 built so any advice appreciated!

If you have any, pictures would also be great.

you can run any merged header and back box, you want something like 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 inch tube.

all depends on your budget, if money is tight then run something like this:

Thank you for the reply, that looks like an affordable option.

The only thing that caught my eye is the muffler states "1300-1600 engine". Will this be a problem for me or will it run fine on my 1914?

Take in consideration the sizes of your valves/carbs combo. If you don't go too big with these, the 1300/1600 headers will be fine. On a 1904cc with stock size valves and 40IDF's I'm putting a 1300/1600 exhaust system and it's fine.
