A fellow in my local club just sold a TR3 that he said won a national 
championship last June. He got 
close to $30K for it from a guy in Denmark. The guy flew over stayed for a few 
days and bought it. 
Took seven years to restore it. It looked perfect to me. It was black with a 
white top.

Getting to the point, it had a stainless exhaust and he said he didn't like the 
note, and wished he 
would have used mild steel. I never heard it. Just passing along his comment. 
I'll probably use 
stainless on my TR250 and TR6. Already have the stainless Falcon Group 44 
headers.
