Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Brooklands Exhaust Endgame?

Greetings all from a newbie,
I’ve been following this superb forum for a while and was hoping to make the Brooklands meet last weekend but my forum membership wasn’t live so I couldn’t find out where in Silvermere you were meeting up, in the end it looked like rain so I didn’t go on spec. (Yep I’m a fully paid up member of the fair weather motoring club)
I’ve just bought a M3W Brooklands (11/50) and live in North Hampshire UK.
Have to say I’m loving driving the M3W and the wife is happier now I’m off two wheels!
Looking forward to meeting some owners at some point.
Currently trying to get my head around essential “upgrades” the following are done
Cooling fan
All timing belt mods
Rear mudguard
My eyes are wide open so to speak and I’m particularly interested in how the Brooklands exhaust problems got solved as my M3W only had 350 miles on the clock since first registration in 2015 so i’m certain to be finding a few issues and the exhaust cracking seems to be a matter of when not if?
All advice greatly appreciated.

Well I have to say the Garage 56 Stage 1 exhaust is a wonderful thing. Got the old mess removed and installed the new one after DHL held me ransom on 10% for Trump.

Even with that stupidity, I am loving the result. Engine runs noticeably BETTER and she sounds great, no pops on decel. I’m not caring much about losing the fishtail ends on the pipes, but I’ll probably remove them from the old exhaust before I send those bits to salvage just in case I change my mind. The chaps at Garage 56 shipped them well cushioned in 10 inch X 6 foot cardboard tubes. Had them 6 days after order was placed.

Well I think I may have lucked out. My TIG welder gave me the name of a fellow with a shop nearby in Desert Hot Springs called K-Powered. They are an auto repair shop that can either build exact replacements (with improvements) or weld in very similar profile mufflers that would be missing the slant of the original design.

I’m good for a bit…how long THAT IS THE QUESTION…so I’ll stay in the 200 mile limit from home on my triple A towing until this fellow can fit me in.

I’m going to start a separate post to follow that process. I am leaning heavily in the direction of complete full replica’s with improvements. I don’t want to lose the flavor of the original in spite of the cost.
