- I'm looking for recommendations for a new exhaust system for my BN4. My old system included Walker down pipes (which had been cut up and rewelded but seemed to be okay), a Walker muffler (quite bange

- After talking to Rich, I replaced my mild steel setup with the SS system like Autofarm sells and it fit better, gave much better ground clearance, sounds better and will last longer than me.. Richard

- I put a SS system on 4 years ago and I slipped right on with no problems. About 10 years prior to that I installed a mild steel one and I can't begin to relate all the frustration it gave me. Poor fi

- I put on the mild steel Monza style "free-flow" exhaust with wider pipes, less restrictive muffler and resonator tips. I felt that it gave me more power and while not a quiet as the SS systems, I lov

- I had a Bell exhaust and swapped it for Kirk Headers and a Monza exhaust. It's definitely the rowdiest sounding street Healey system - because of its single oval pipe through the muffler, it's more

- What strikes me is that a lot of people have changed their exhaust system for a more free flowing/louder set up and claim they have increased power. True/false? It feels faster because of the noise b

- I'm pretty sure that in the case of a factory Healey, the added flow is going to give an increase in performance as the stock system--BN4- BJ7--is smaller than the opening allowed by the carbs. Wilko
