Morning folks:
I am getting ready to replace the exhaust on my 140 Corsa. I have a new set
of Walker "Lifetime" mufflers for the 1.7 Renault/AMC cars that I bought
over ten years ago with Lon's U tubes to connect up to the stock exhaust
manifolds after I had success with the same setup using cheap mufflers for the same
car. These cheapo mufflers are finally worn out and need to be replaced. I
wasn't happy with the exhaust parts from vendors back then (especially the
one's I bought that told me to loosen the exhaust manifold to head bolts for
more adjustment and then tighten everything up). For safety and correctness I
want this next 140 system to bolt up to the exhaust manifolds and fit with
minimal adjustment to the exhaust pipe, muffler and tailpipe. A system that
has the correct side discharge alignment without spending a whole weekend to
get things into alignment equally on both sides would be a big help. I have
the appropriate heat shields (some I fabricated and some stock), but I want a
stock system (smaller than the 1.7 Renault/AMC ones that require larger jets
in the carbs). I would appreciate anyone's comments on currently available
140 exhaust systems from the various vendors. Recent purchases would probable
be most helpful, but any comments are welcome. Replies on or off list will
be appreciated.
