DOHC Exhaust
Gareth - 7/12/05 at 10:56 AM

I'm know Robin Hood did supply exhausts for DOHC kit cars, but that source seems to have dried up from a search through the archives.

Does anyone know any other source, or even have one in the garage from an upgrade etc.

The only other option I thought would be to get hold of a second hand westfield pinto or x-flow tube mainfold and get the cutter out, any comments?

Regards

Gareth

I bought a Lolocost/Robin Hood manifold for the DOHC at Stoneleigh this year and they said it was the last one they had and they wouldn't be making any more as teh demand did not justify it. Sorry this is not really any help to you - although for loads of money I might be tempted to sell mine

Ashley have just started making one for the dohc.
But I dont think its cheap, & will still need cuttin'n'shuttin for a 7.(£165+VAT)
It is a worthwhile mod however as with this & a decent air filter setup the engine should put out mid 140ish BHP with torque that destroys a standard/mild pinto.
(& with a MT75 box, lighter/ better c of g with than a pinto/type 9)

See the FSOC site for more details
