When I first got my Elan I had a rattly back box (before you all say it, yes the doctor helped me with it)
So, I had a new S\S fitted by a local cowboy that I bought from a dealer.
Now, eversince, the car has had considerably less power and I think it's due to the over flattening of the pipe as it goes over the cross member!
As the ones fron Cris Neil's do not fit without bashing them.
Does this make sense?
OK, so what's the best replacement going to be....bearing in mind I am not so sure if I want it really noisy..just a nice grunt maybe

Yo Rudeboy.
PECO all the way.
Maybe just a little too loud for you, but then most aftermarket one are louder than stock

I'd like to recommend a PECO too, but I don't think it's right to whilst the problems in the link below are being addressed:

Ah, I never read that
Mikey, I got my 2 1/2 stainless jobby done by a local alcoholic. It came with a lifetime guarantee, and cost £370 iirc.
Only trouble is the local alcoholic has since snuffed it
Oh, and avoid Powerflow at ALL costs!

Never mind that, what about my 'lifetime' guarantee?

I wouldn't say that. I think we'd all appreciate some light entertainment again.

Dico used to have a problem with his back box in the good old days when he actually drove the Beast. Probably all those beans rattling around?

LOL Avoid the Heinzflow system at all costs Mikeydude
