Rear Section

The rear section has a short 55 mm (2.16 in) diameter tube, with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness, which is flared to an inside diameter of 61 mm (2.4 in) to locate the LH front section. The tube is welded to the front silencer assembly. A second short 55 mm (2.16 in) diameter tube, with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness, has a welded flange with captive studs to provide attachment for the flange on the RH front section. This tube is also welded to the front silencer assembly.

The front silencer comprises a double skin and two end plates which are rolled together to give a capacity of 7.0 liters (427 in³ ). The silencer contains baffles and perforated tubes which reduce noise as the exhaust gases pass through the silencer. A hanger bar is welded to the front of the silencer and provides for the location of a mounting rubber.

The silencer has two short 55 mm (2.16 in) diameter outlet pipes, with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness, which connect to the center silencer.

The center silencer comprises two pressed stainless steel shells which are welded together to give a capacity of 25.2 liters (1538 in³ ). The silencer contains baffles and perforated tubes which reduce noise as the exhaust gasses pass through the silencer. A hanger bar is welded to the front right hand side of the silencer and provides location for a mounting rubber.

The silencer has two 55 mm (2.16 in) diameter outlet pipes, with a 1.5 mm (0.06 in) wall thickness, which are curved to pass around the rear suspension components.

Each outlet pipe terminates in a welded joint with the tail silencers. The outlet pipes have a hanger bar which provides for the location of a mounting rubber.

A hanger bar is welded to the front face of each rear silencer and provides for the location of a mounting rubber. The silencer is a rectangular fabrication with a baffle tube which is surrounded with glass fibre to provide further noise suppression. Each silencer has a capacity of 4 liters (244 in³ ).

The silencers each have an outlet pipe which is 60 mm (2.36 in) diameter, with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm (0.05 in). Each outlet pipe is curved downwards to direct exhaust gasses away from the rear of the vehicle.
