Do some have single and some have twin exhausts? Do they sound different?
and how easy/difficult is it to convert from single to twin?
Thanks


Hi, my +8 came with a single rear exhaust, it had a nice tone however the manifolds are unbalanced and adding the pipe under the engine to the left side makes it worse. Twin exhaust manifolds with a pipe each side is quite an improvement. I purchased a complete librands system and fitted myself, not a hard job just laborious., half day to get old off and 1 day to get new on. The hard bit is doing up the flanges that go through the existing bulkhead holes and some of the manifold set screws. You need to buy a long hex with a round end and be very patient doing 6 bolts up, 1/8 turn at a time. If you go for this then I would recommend mufflers on the rear, unless you want a fry noisy car then have plane pipes ate the rear. You keep the cats, it is not worth loosing these you will only gain about 2bhp, and will have to put them back for MOT's. Librands exhaust Mulfab

For an immediate handling improvement fit a panhard rod on the rear axle, and brake reaction bars, easy to fit and Mulfab can supply these.
