Welcome to TM, told you the approval would come through eventually, glad your M3W arrived safely. Rather than looking at the expense of a stage 1 exhaust for the same results I would consider doing a Bafflectomy, frees up the engine for going up the mountains and canyons at minimal cost. Remember the sage Morgan Owners advise; Drive and enjoy your Morgan for a year noting what you want to upgrade/change, etc. then carry out the projects. Our winters are long enough with the Morgans in the garage for you to do any work. Hello Bruce, yes indeed. The account was thankfully approved just as you said. You'll be disappointed to hear that I have broken the tenets of your advice off the bat and already ordered a Garage 56 stage 1 kit  This after reading many posts on this forum about the need to allow the engine to breathe and rev freely. But other than this one expensive change, you will see that I will heed you advice to the fullest and not make any changes to the vehicle for a year or even more. I look forward to meeting you soon. Good choice on exhaust. Not as raspy as the AR Stage 1. You will really enjoy the shift of the power band and the way the engines revs more freely. How many miles do you have on it? Follow the breakin procedure for new engines and it should be great fun.

That's a nice looking M3W. You will not be disappointed with the G56 Stage 1 kit, it's well engineered and your engine and ears will thank you. I don't think you needed to go for the British weather with your British car, that is a bit extreme . Welcome to TM.

You will find Morgan Motors of New England ( https://morgan-spares.com) a fantastic source of parts and knowledge. Linda is the savior to us Morganeers she has saved us from many a fate and is brilliant at overnighting parts to the most obscure places.

So finally I got both brackets installed but headlamp relocation, which I thought would be easy peasy was unfortunately not easy. There is a jig that needs to be unwired and rewired so I think I'll just have an auto electric shop do it for me. ![[Linked Image]](https://jawad.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-10/p3890571643-5.jpg)

I don't think you needed to go for the British weather with your British car, that is a bit extreme . Welcome to TM. Truth be told I read quite a few forum posts about the G56 exhaust kit. Probably you and a couple of other early adopters were the reason I opted for this expense right off the bat to let the engine breathe and rev freely. Our weather here goes up and down. A couple of days ago it was warm 83F and today it was 50F with a bit of rain. But most days are sunny in Colorado. Although I do enjoy a bit of rain and fog from time to time Drive back home in the rain

Great choice on the exhaust. Garage 56 is great. Might as well go right up to stage 2 in my book. They can ship a preloaded ECU. Also check out Morgan customs as Emil has some nice upgrades as well.
Ultimately I bought my Morgan for a similar reason as life is too short. The good news is a Morgan 3 wheeler makes everyone smile so money well spent in my book.

Vehicle arrived with 453 miles on it and I’ve driven 100 miles. Bruce was kind enough to share the S&S break in procedure. I cant do anything about the first 450 miles but I am following the guidance for the next 500 miles. I hope G56 is as good as everyone says. Its quite the splurge but if it helps the engine and performance then it probably worth it.
