Does Simon have a website for his product? I have a 75 Spider (S2-115.41). I assume he makes different kits for different configurations. Correct?

Right now we just sell them via this thread. Email or PM by clicking on my username if interested.

This system will fit a '75 spider if it is using a pre-74 exhaust manifold. Due to lack of demand we have no systems with CATs on them for the later year models.

The exhaust shop can put a cat in while he's at it. You wouldn't want your old cat in there with the restrictive 2" diameter would you? The system would be worthless to your car then. They should have access to Magnaflows 2.25" cats easily and they can weld it in place.

I think the beauty of this sytem is the "Y" piece they created. If you want a catback system, just go to a shop that does stainless and have them make it for you. I just brought my Alfetta to a stainless shop and made custom stainless from the cat back, with a Magnaflow center and rear for $616 total. And in case you are not familiar with Alfettas, the bend over the rear axel is very tough to dupicate. It comes very close to the rear sway bar and the rear caliper. He spent quite a bit of time with that area. Spiders and GTVs have more room back there and they would spend much less time doing the sytem.

Ok, sorry. I was thinking of (-cat) back. That term always throws me off.

A couple weeks ago the new MagnaFlow system got installed on my Super. The only modification required was the addition of about 6" of pipe in front of the loop over the axle. The system was designed for the GTV, and the Super has a slightly longer wheelbase, requiring the addition. I'll get some pictures the next time I see the car up on a lift. The sound is better than I expected, with a low mellow rumble at idle, and a loud but not obnoxious roar at higher rpm's. I'll also make a audio recording to post here in this thread.

Here's a picture of the Magnaflow muffler on my Super, and the section added to account for the Super longer wheelbase.

Very interesting Gifford. There have been some other installs on supers and the need to have the system extended never came up.

My muffler shop is telling me the Magnaflow front section is sitting about 1/8" below the bottom of the car. This is a 74 GTV. Has anyone come across this problem. He thinks he's going to have to re-route it a bit. He says Conrad Stevenson is stopping by to look at it, but I don't know how familiar Conrad is with this system.

Hi guys,

Just ordered a Magnaflow system from Simon last week. Hopefully it arrives this week. Cannot wait to hear it on the 1750! I'll send you guys pictures of the fitting and make sound clips.

Hans,

Thanks for your order. Keep us updated on the install.

Regards,

Hi guys,

Had my magnaflow exhaust fitted and it sounds absolutely fantastic! I was actually at a stoplight this afternoon and a guy in a beautiful 1969 Triumph TR6 commented on how fantastic the car sounded. I made some clips and am in the process of uploading them and will have them for you forthwith.

It is a very worthwhile purchase. Simon, thanks for making such an excellent product available for the car.

Nuvolariveloce... is your 1750 a 1969 GTV with standing pedals? If so, can you tell us about your installation? Did you need to make any modifications to the system to make it fit?
