MG MGA - Trouble Sourcing Exhaust

Hi all,

I am in the UK and trying to source a complete stainless steel exhaust system for my 1960 Mark I. My exhaust has recently blown and I've always said to myself I'd upgrade to a complete stainless steel system when it needed replacing. A few extra horse power and different sound might be fun!

I'm having trouble with usual suppliers in the UK (Moss Europe and Brown & Gammons) who can't get hold of a stainless steel tubular manifold for the forseeable future.

Any ideas anyone? I've tried eBay but no s/steel ones atm.

Cheers,

Jason

Hi Jason. I have a complete Maniflow system, maybe worth contacting them about s/s.

Jason,
Thame is clearly relatively local to you.

I know a couple of people have had an MGA exhaust from https://zeroexhausts.co.uk/

I had experience of a Moss S/S sports manifold. It certainly helped engine breathing, but by golly it made relaxed driving impossible due to the exhaust tone. And, as for cost …….!

Have a look on eBay. There is the front and rear section made by Bell available. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174080011748?hash=item2887fa2de4:g:rtwAAOSwl5VduBhT

Just noticed its a Moss eBay listing so they may not be available. However, its worth checking the different Moss locations. Ask them to check all their locations for stock.

Moss seem to be out of lots and lots of parts!!!!

Anyone know why?

I just took my old one to a local exhaust shop and they made replicas true and accurate to original specs and stainless steel. I had 3 made, 2 for my cars and one for a mate - very reasonable cost.

On my MGB, I made a stainless big bore system from the existing three branch PECO manifold back using proprietary stainless steel tubing and a single silencer off ebay shops. You can even specify the tubing with swaged ends, so you get good joins. Very satisfying, and came out at about half the price of a pukka system. Now been on there five years with no problems.

I have a spare used but good silencer somewhere that is either owned by me or Tim Price if it helps. Tim?

I bought a SS exhaust a couple of years ago from Midland Sports & Classics and very happy with it. It was £179. Paul - the silencer is yours to do as you see fit. Cheers Tim

I swapped from a SS exhaust to a SS pipe and two mild steel mufflers because I found the noise from the SS system unbearable, and was pulled over twice because of the noise after the glass packing new out of the muffler.

I used a standard MGA rear silencer, but cut the exhaust and inserted a cherry bomb under the drivers seat (LHD) and enjoyed the much quieter experience for many years until I sold my car this year.

I bought mine from somewhere in the Midlands, probably Midland Sports & Classics, referred to by Tim Prime above, about ten years ago. A local classic car expert fitted it whilst doing some other work and said it was the easiest (ie best) fit of a SS system he had seen. The sound is fine and it has given no problems.
