My mate has a 1937 Ford Midget racer thats got a Ford 100E 1100cc sidevalve engine in. He's just fitted a new 4-1 exhaust manifold to it, with no silencing at all at it sounds incredible, like how you'd imagine a racing car from that era to sound lol.
Anyway, anybody tried running a Clio with just a performance manifold and a short piece of pipe for a side exit exhaust and does it sound any good?
I might try it, I was gonna for for the stealth bomber style, with the standard airbox & ITG and the exhaust quiet, but after hearing his car I want a loud exhaust again.
See ya

Its very very noisy. My decat keeps falling off and the noise is absultuly mad above 3k its just to much. I drove it at oulton for a lap when it fell off and me and the inestucter couldn't hear each other even when we were shouting.

Was it a nice sounding noise though? When I knocked my exhaust off trying to get off the drive it sounded like a tractor. I think i'll stick with the stealth bomber no sound at all idea lol.
