Despite the fact I have electrical faults throughout the cortina I have decided to make an exhaust because when it does run it's rather loud!
Problem is I've never made one before - I have done a bit of research into what components I'll need but I cold do with some more advice
Joints - I wasn't going to use flexible ones but wasn't sure whether to us V bands as much as I need to, the manifold is 1.5 at the end with a 60s style v band which i was going to remove and fit a 1.5 to 1.75 reducer - upping it to the right size from the manifold out then using a sleeve to go over that for the main straight and secure with a U bolt

Hangers - modern rubber types, shouldn't be an issue
Over axle - Jetex off the shelf affair

Silencer - I want the cortina to have a nice raspy noise but nothing too loud so I have a few ideas

this will need a tail pipe fabricating but would give the quietness I'm after.

I'm not sure how this would sound but its straight through which is good for performance, I have a feeling that I'll need to cut the tailpipe and add a small bend in so that it exits the rear straight but thats just a personal thing!
