Adam Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Ive got the 4-1 (short primaries) but want to change to the 4-1 (long prim) or better still 4-2-1 exhaust. Ok so they're not usually available second hand or are they .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 I've got a long 4-1 exhaust spare. If you're interested in buying the primaries let me know. The silencer is available as well but its got no packing in it and isn't repackable without using a cutting torch...

V7 SLR Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 No packing in it? Are you sure Hoopy? Speak up, I'm deafened by your exhaust. I'd say it hasn't had any packing in it for at least 3 years. teeth.gif Adam, as discussed I'll consider selling mine but not until the winter (after beginning of Dec, when MoT is due).

scooby dooby doo Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 if you tilt the silencer from one way to t'other you get this lovely 'sssssssssssssssssh dumpf' noise as the "packing" slides down the can. I got me a lovely nice black ceramic coated Powerspeed 4-2-1 now though. VERY nice smile.gif Dave Hooper - dmch2@lineone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Is that one of them types like Mick, Roy and Rob M has? I fancy one o' them. Worcs L7 club joint AO Membership No.id=red> 4379id=blue> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby dooby doo Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 V7 - it is indeed. you can see one of the pairs of primaries on the webcam. but its covered with masking tape at the moment. in a day or two i hope to have it all vaguely fitted so you can have a look then...

V7 SLR Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 There seems to be 2 types of these Hoopster. One, Mick's, has the collector positioned very close to the body (my pref) whereas Roy's seems to position is further away, probably so as to present a slightly straighter run for the gases. Any idea which one you have and whether they offer each version?

scooby dooby doo Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 mick's is unique. then they made a second batch for roy, me, rob, ray and a few others. they just came out a bit different... Dave Hooper - dmch2@lineone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Bees Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Nig - I had EBD make my 4-2-1 with the collector distanced well from the bodywork. Nothing to do with getting a straight run for the gases (you've got to make them turn the corner anyway), but 2 good reasons for doing this: 1) Making the primaries come away from the body before turning them aft means they don't run back so far for a given primary length - this gives room for longer secondaries and/or a longer silencer can. 2) Because it's a dead straight run from the primaries back to the can I can play with the 4-2-1 configuration (1/4 & 2/3 joined, conventional, or 1/2 & 3/4 joined, unconventional) just by undoing the clamps & turning the collector around - something else to play with at the rollers! 3) (Yes I know I said 2..). For noise-sensitive venues I can junk the 4-2 collector and fit a 4-1 with a super-long exhaust can. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7 SLR Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Interesting points, although I []ithought that I prefered the aesthetics of Mick's, I did think that both yours (Mike) and Rob M's at MIRA looked the dog's danglies. I'm not going to be able to afford one until at least next year so I'll go away and dream about the lottery again. D'you know I wrote a wish list for V7 and reckon I'd need about 30 grand to realise it..!!! Might as well give up now and order that 575 Maranello.
