Hi Phil

Seen the cars on you tube and they look stunning, excellent attention to finish and detail.
They sound awesome what type of exhaust are fitted and are they both straight six engines.

Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony, guess Phil must be busy working on his third Spyder.

I believe he used e type jag tail pipes on both cars. Not sure where he sources his but they are available on ebay, for a price...

Both cars run straight sixes - I believe the blue one is a Mk2 Vitesse 2 litre, while the green one is a 2500 with Mk2 Vitesse head and cam.

Agree with you about the attention to detail, Phil does build a mean car.

Hi MT

Thanks for the info.

Is there a big difference in the sound of the straight six compared to a four cylinder with for example the exhaust system fitted to phils spyder.

Mister Towed · #**270** 17th January 2014, 14:09

The four pots sound pretty good with a straight through exhaust. Not as good as a six though imho.

I have a single cherry bomb on mine now which crackles and pops on the overrun in a most pleasing fashion

but is just the right side of too loud.

Will have to get some drive by videos posted like Phil has for a comparison, but here's some footage of it being test run when I installed it (for best results listen through decent headphones) -

Cheers Phil will more than likely be on here asking plenty of questions once I take the plunge and start to build a 50's rep.
Been looking around for a donor for a few weeks but so far the cost is above what i want to pay, will keep searching and hopefully find one local who knows may be even a straight six.

Fascinating clip Phil, looked like not much could live with that on the track apart from the white 2002 that made off while its twin flicked cones at the Vitesse.

Until the motor blew that is...

Everything's fine with me, looking forward to some dry weather so I can dust off the Spyder and go out for a blast.
