Cleaned up my tinware and fitted speedshop exhaust

Spent a couple of evening fitting the Speedshop pipe.
once fitted my rusty tinware looked poop so removed the rear exhaust and refurbed the tinware
noticed some separated engine mounts and fitted a new set and cleaned all the parts.
might do the shields black as it now looks a bit bright when looking down into the bay
but im really happy with the exhaust in both quality and fit.
Regards
Rick

looking good.
I thought about the speedshop but doesn't fit well with a 2.1.
shame they don't stay shiny.

Hi Itchy
Are you sure or do you mean not suited to the bigger capacity
mine is 1970cc ish as it had a big bore kit fitted when it was rebuilt
Have seen them fitted on the 2.1 !
much neater than the factory maze of pipes and I would think less restrictive too.
I went speedshop as it's a bargain and looks a lot better than anything else I could find sub £1200

PS I thought the silencer support bracket looked pants so reshaped it and reversed it so it bolts on out of view
much better

2.1 has an oil cooler so oil rilter is further out.
need to use a smaller oil filter which ai wasn't happy about.
anyway fine on a 1.9

Good work on the support bracket, I was just about to ask about it until you mentioned it. It is the only mod Speed shop should look into.
Nice clean engine bay, looking good.
