Cheap sporty exhaust... and I mean CHEAP!
I've been enjoying driving my S8 around for a while now but I can't hear the engine.
As other people have replaced the rear silencer with straight pipes, I thought I'd have a go myself. 2 x 55mm Stainless lengths with a 45o bend from ebay Cheap 55mm stainless pipes I've looked at tailpipes and I would end up spending another £25 on top so I decided to use the stock tailpipe. Starting point...  Starting cutting...  No turning back now.   Pipes  They come with a flared end which slips over the stock size exhaust pipes. First pipe tack welded to the tailpipe and checking on position etc.  Pipes welded up and ready to go on. I added a hanger on top which sits into the stock mounts and clamped it down.  The result is a nice V8 burble. It is a little boomy inside at around 1800-2000rpm but otherwise it's not too noisy and sounds lovely  The look is stock from outside. Total cost, £47 plus a couple of hours welding and cutting. MG

 Fixing the gearbox was a forgivable necessity, and fitting LPG was a vaguely plausible requirement - but - struggling to see how you're going to explain away the need to change the exhaust note for testing purposes

 I love the sound of a V8 and this has given me that... although it's just about guaranteed to lower the mpg... not because it'll cause any problems with fuelling but because I love the sound tooooo much MG

Just out of curiosity what did you weld the stainless pipes with?

Exhaust bypass pipes are now for sale. Nollywood hasn't come back to me so they're available if anyone is interested.
I'll even throw in the sleeves so that you can swap between stock or bypass pipes easily. Check the ad here http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5209 MG
