Quad exhaust fitment on a standard 75/ZT

The Mighty Quinn · 9th April 2019, 22:40

If anyone has put a V8 style quad exhaust system on their standard 75 or ZT, how did you go about securing the driver's side rear box/pipe?

Do the exhaust suppliers generally weld an additional bracket to the underside of the car to suit?

I'd prefer fabricating a bolt-on hangar assembly myself, as I don't fancy letting welders run amok underneath my car

But would like to see what way others have found of mounting the V8 style exhausts..

Cheers,
Karl.

Its been done many times. Google images will give you a few pictures. Plenty of room on the drivers side (after the Carbon Cannister - I think that what it is) is moved to the side.

If its a ZT, you'll need the driver side heat shield which don't come up for sale very often.

No offence to those who have done this before but to my eyes it looks wrong on anything that can't justify the extra pipes. Too much of a hark back to go-faster stripes and the like.

IMO, better you spend your time and cash on preserving what you already have; rust proofing etc.

My duplex exhaust system on the ZT was done by MIJ's in walsall, they just mounted new brackets for the driver's side back box

i have duel exhausts on my 190. Just fitted a hanger to the driver side.

Probably the hardest part would be getting a V8 exhaust surround for the driver side rear bumper.

Heres mine.

It gets a lot of complimentary comments

I agree. But if you are going to bother, why stop at a half-hearted attempt and not go for a Zoomie?

But then it will be a run of the mill chav wagon to pootle about the council estate in, rather than an individualized vehicle of ones own imagination. Might as well get a bm or an Audi with a fire guard on the front

Stu, Kev

Cheers. Yea I think the twin exit suits the back end on a ZT and should possibly been standard on the 190. But hey we all know Zed range cars were a last ditch effort at saving MGR.

The exhaust fitted makes the right burble for the V6 and is only noisy when the loud pedal gets put to the floor.

As for the kit car with the lazy Mustang engine. Don't get me started on that thing
