Do you have another support to body in front of that can?

[tractor]

no bob it needs to move with the engine so just held at back of the can to rigid and it will break manifold as keith found out

Each system is different I suppose -- our set-up required the can being supported at both ends on bobbins -- & in the finish the final solution was a flexi-joint between can & manifold.

[Guest 2b cruising]

That is one BIG can.

At least you correctly kept it as close to the body as possible.

Looks good.

[Guest mower man]

I would support the front of the can and fit a short flexi between it and manifold I broke /cracked 2 manifolds before I learnt some sense mick

[Guest 2b cruising]

I would always use a short covered flexi on this type of system.

The vibration has to be absorbed somewhere to stop eventual damage.

Not only that but the vibrations through a solid fixing will also transmit and amplify the noise through the whole car.

Is that one of the Kit spares exhausts , looks the business , i have the original from gbs on the 2b and i think its lost its packing so will have to lash out and spend some money

Tractor, I've got one of those exhaust cans (the large one from GBS) fitted.

It does make a journey more comfortable, but when you want to use the load pedal, it does bark a bit.

Especially going through tunnels when dropping a gear or 2 as well :rolleyes:

[tractor]

Yes it is the one from gbs

[Dave Ed]

What's the mounting point like. As its a solid mounting does it send any vibration through the chassis

[tractor]

No vibration the bracket is bolted to the floor
