Guest jonathanjead Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Help - I'm right in the middle of my winter show car project and have a real headache - I'm after a SS exhaust system (not manifold) but seem to be drawing a blank as all the suppliers only do ones for tintops not Cab. I've been 'told' the cab is longer so tintop exhausts are no good - can anyone advise - either on what mods are needed to say a Piper 3" SS system (what pipes longer where) or someone who makes exhausts for the cab. Also I've been 'informed' that the cab exhaust hangers are different - is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avul Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 hi jonathan as far as i'm aware they are the same, as should the hangers be & i've not heard that one b4!!! the rear box i got 4 mine i'm sure was for a tin top hope it helps & i would imagine people will say the same. mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avul Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 oh & just thought the engine, manifold & front pipe in my car was from an xr3i tin top & its running on carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest s6boy1979 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Tin top and cab exhaust are the same the only diff is between efi and mfi. The efi has a longer down pipe as it includes a silencer where as the mfi does not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonathanjead Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks all - I think (hope) problem solved - ordered exhaust for the EFI Tin Top 3i from Piper - they are making an adjustable centre sention so any issues can be adjusted for. Thanks for all your info - Timax and Bosal both this the tin top and Cab as the same system now - although a little more digging with QH identified the cab exhaust is (theoretically) 14mm longer in the centre section..... not much and, if true, explains why systems should fit as 1/2" isn't much to cope with. Piper say they want me to feed back to them about the fit and adjustment so they can then list the exhaust for the Cabrio.... I'll keep you all updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonathanjead Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Where did you get it from? Ordered it direct from Piper Exhausts (same as Piper Cams). Fingers crossed it fits, looks nice and cam will full fitting kit - bu then again wasn't cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 it should fit fine, they are the same, only diffrence is the down pipe from efi to mfi, the efi has a box in the down pipe, possibly making the system shorter?. turbo systems are diffrent aswell, again due to the down pipe.
