Exhaust question
Hi all.
I am using a 1.8 CVH engine for starters. I have noticed that the exhaust manifold is on the nearside of the engine. I have had a brief look at the SVA manual. I found no reference as to which side of the vehicle an external exhaust has to be fitted. For some reason I have it in my head. For a UK car, the exhaust should be fitted to the off side of the car. Has anyone looked into this aspect. I would welcome any views on the subject Ronnie |
There is no restriction on the placement of exhausts, other than if it is the widest part of the car then the radii etc have to conform to the regs,
|
As Dave says there are no restrictions re which side the exhaust exits, in fact all sevens with the crossflow engine have the exhaust on the nearside.
cheers Chris:) |
Many thanks for that, macdave69 & Chris.
I dont know why that idea was floating around in my head. Just another senior moment I suppose. I had visions of trying to re-route the exhast to the offside. Once again, thanks Ronnie |
Hi
Is there any requirement as what height should the exhausted be, I have heard if the prototype goes for the IVA, the top part coming out of the bonnet should be covered? |
Thats why we have left driven cars in Sweden:D :D :D

You have the same thought as I Ronnie, exhaust not supposed to point at the kerb and pedestrians etc,obviously the same myth.
