Subject: Re: New Exhaust
Peter,
now that I look at this properly I am not so sure about mine being accurate copy of original. The rear pipes protrude beyond the rear bumper, which is not the same as a 1960s picture of my car where the rear pipes ended under the rear bumper but just beyond the bodywork. obviously the new exhaust has been made with longer end pipes so that no sooty marks spoil the rear bumper and bodywork.
anyway measurements are... pipe diameter 48mm, each box is 410 long by 130 diameter. there are four joint square flanges on each bank of exhausts excluding the one joining the manifold. so the sections are... manifold joint to first flange. box, second flange, long section, third flange, short curly section over rear axle, fourth flange, rear box. However it has been designed, this exhaust is very quiet.
the pipe ending is in photo. it is roughly parallel with the ground and points outwards from the car - I have put my broomstick in line with the rear bodywork so that you can see the angle. Again this looks inconsistent with other photos of V12 saloons but mine is Freestone and Webb coachwork so may be different from Lagonda bodied V12s.
hope this helps to add to your confusion
