Bobtaylor Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 HI, I am going to buy a s/s exhaust for my Mk1 Vitesse. The ones supplied through the club are taking about 6 weeks or more. I have looked at Rimmer and they are quite expensive. I have looked at J Paddocks, they have them in stock and are cheaper than Rimmers. The oIIInes they supply are made by FF Exhausts, anyone had any experience of this company? Or can anyone suggest an alternative? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 i would always suggest a single not the wheel barrow handles a nice bored single will sing well rather than a barking hair drier whine Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I just had a quick search for FF Exhausts, they make Ferrari exhausts?? Sounds good to me! Probably not the same FF, I suspect that's the car model not the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I fitted a Mk2 S/S standard system to my Mk1 many moons ago (cant remember make). This was because it was bigger bore, didnt have the middle box and was a lot cheaper but did require new stud holes to be drilled in its flange for connection to the manifold. For me the sound is just right and I havent got a peashooter sticking out of the back☺️ The only complaint I have is that the weld used to attach the backbox hanger bracket wasnt stainless so rapidly rusted to failure....

The ones I have on now are ok but they do have the odd deep scratch and are a little dull ... Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobtaylor Posted June 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi, I have not changed my bumpers. I would like to renew the central rear section as it looks as it may have had a bumper fitted at some time. if you track down a source let me know .

Pete Lewis Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 there was a suggestion a while back to have the adonised ally ones powder coated as chrome /satin cheap and looked very original , its a better option to consider club shop did get some extruded but the manufacturer could not make the corners without splitting the idea was shelved Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
