MG MGF Technical - Who Made this?

I saw this on ebay...and suggestions as to who made it?
I dont think it's standard MGR part and it's obviously for the early F

Bizzare, he doesn't know which car it's for, but did know it's price new!
Will Munns

I think he's priced it high enough to avoid the normal practice of people bidding more than MGR sell for.

Looks like a trophy exhaust but with the old CAT assemblie (the 180 degree bow).

Just to pick uo the point from T.
As well not sure, but wheren't the very first Trophy's sold with a standard like exhaust ?
... and swapped later to the newer spec at dealers ?

That's right - the very first Trophy160s were SVA'd - and were sold with this exhaust supplied separately in a box.

Yup - I reckon that this is an early Trophy exhaust - suitable for fitting to any pre-2001 MGF.

At this price I would recommend everybody with the standart exhaust to take it :)

Speaking of the Trophy Exhaust. I measured using a micrometer and found it to have bigger tailpipes and bigger pipes in general than the exhaust fitted to the TF135.

Recall fro memory (might measure again)
Tailpipe : 7.7cm
Pipe : 4,6cm

That's interesting Thierry - I presume that we are talking about the tail pipe diameter [the pipe that leads to the tail pipe finishers] rather than the diameter of the inlet pipe?
Rob Bell

It is an early Trophy exhaust system that will fit all pre 2001 MGF's I have one fitted slightly louder and allows better breathing on the exhaust side. Well pleased with mine ( I paid £70 )

not bad!

>the pipe that leads to the tail pipe finishers
Correct. If anybody can measure the one mounted on the TF135 or 160 would be great.
T

addendum : As stated above I have the tf135 measures somewhere, double check is better though ;)
