Exhaust Pipe Under Axel Section

Post by gsharp »

While driving my car today the exhaust blowing got realy loud. By the time I got home the RH under axel section has split at the bend just before the flange. Where can I buy this section? I've called the guys at Lotus Bits and the don't have any off the cars they are currently breaking. Any suggestions would be appreciated I can't afford a complete system just now and I don't think there is enough metal to weld the parts I have.

I think SJ does some, else you could get a local custom exhaust manufacturer to make one.

One further question, were the exhaust silencers painted when new? There is the remains, of what could be, some black on mine.

According to the illustrated parts list – the Peco exhaust was painted black and the Grundy blue.
