Exhaust issue would not be resolved by buying another

Looks like my issue is having a muggelo kit and having to use the longer exhaust stub that's putting it all out of line . Making bad fitment . I thought that if I bought a franspeed or Jl this would resolve it but it seems as this isn't the case :cry: I'd only end up with same problem so to resolve the issue it seems as il have to get stub cut and re welded or barrel machined

The shorter stub is for a TS1 type exhaust port.

Don't quote but all of the stubs I've seen for "standard" oval ports are longer.

This has been discussed before, hasn't it?

If you buy an exhaust that doesn't use a stub, it'd be fine, wouldn't it?

What you want is a pm tuning. Muggy works really well with it and fit was fine. Full rear boards. The nut on the silencer did just catch but nothing that requires major surgery.

A couple of days ago they were allegedly the devils work and were all getting sold. :lol:

Today its the Mugello kit and any pipe from Franspeeds to JLs. :?

Turns out the pipe you originally had on worked well and was a great fit. :roll:

There is an issue with the exhaust flange being done strangely.

If you imagine looking at the fitted engine side on, the exhaust gasket face is 10mm nearer the floor than normal.

The official explanation I've heard for this is to use longer exhaust studs that are less likely to strip threads but of course the knock on effect on exhaust systems is huge.

I've not heard of a pattern as to which cylinders have this feature v1,2,3 or 4 or small block vs big block

if the mugello exhaust flange sits lower down .why not try to shorten the stub by the same amount to compensate!
