On reading a old back issue of "AC Exchange" (Spring/Summer 1998), Ron Leonard writes in the article "Bristol Power Tips" That a suitable Muffler that has twin inlet and twin outlet pipes can be used with both a standard and LeMans Style exhaust system. (The LeMans system exiting infront of rear wheel).
The Muffler refered to under the name "BASSANI" measured 4"x8"x12".
Not sure if this is helpfull or simply confuses the issue.[?]
The Stainless Steel exhaust box now fitted to BEX333 was supplied by Steve Gray of Brooklands Motor Company / AC Heritage and was supplied with complete st/st system inclusive of tuned st/st manifolds. Fits like a glove and reinforced at either end to give longer life.

The two St/St systems supplied and fitted previously by a Company in Nottingham both failed with the exhaust box (Muffler) end plate welds failing and the endplates breaking away from the system, Not the easist road side repair especially when a few hundred miles from home on a Sunday night. [

Please keep us all informed of a suitable standard easily obtainable Muffler that would suffice.
