Sorry, the paxman engine wins, coz that's a v12, with a a big napier turbo on it...finest liverpool product.
2.200bhp of pure sex, on each end!! Although it sounds like more, at full throttle, it's only pulling 1500rpm!

If 140 BHP can be squeezed out of the 1.6, I could manufacture a Y piece, coming out of the turbo. 2 pipes could be run down either side, incorporating one oval silencer each of proportions,
140 x 55 x 600 long. Tail pipes exiting in front of the rear wheels.
If it`s a good sound you want...without being too noisy....that should do it

BEJESUS it's fucking loud!
Fucking exhaust spontaneously parted company at front pipe before first box on the M4 at 70, I thought a Harrier jump jet was landing on my roof! Tied exhaust up by strap through and under cabin. Turned off the Motorway & drove through Bray village. Going through the narrow High Street it reverberated in a noisy, pleasing & embarassing way!

Kinda make sense, cos when I ran the Morris without the exhaust on it sounded like an old bi-plane kinda kewl tho'....Way2go wrote:I can sign to that!docchevron1472 wrote:Ever run a 8V GTi BX with no exhaust at all, straight out the manifold.
