Firstly. TD once calulated the optimum sise bore for IC tubing. But it was not a commonly available hose size, so most people use 50mm.

You could move the selector inside? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

You could also use two exhaust short rubbers unstead of the long selectors ones.

No idea. I haven't exactly spent a lot of time working on the mini in the past year (or two)... I'm still muddling through Pauls efi posts trying to figure out what I want to do next... On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I find getting more than a 2" pipe past the selector tight. I trialled a custom 2 1/4 down pipe on the mock up engine in the car, and it fitted nicely. Perhaps the difference is the hardy spicer? 2 1/4 looks really big  so I will have to increase the tail pipe to 2 3/4 at the very least. I think 3" would be a bit Barry like.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

Humour a person who knows very little, but why would you need a tail pipe bigger than the rest of the system ?

nothing to do with performance, just the look. I currently have the Playmini 2" system which has a 2 1/2" tailpipe. It used to have a rolled end, but I cut it off as I didn't like the look, now it looks plain, but big, unlike some of that fancy shite that just does not look right on a mini. Maybe looks ok on a Saxo VTS. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

what would happen if you ran a 2/5" through to say a 1"3/4 or 2" back box? |

On the k16 set up I was using a 2.5" downpipe shape reduced to 2 just above potjoints,
