MG TD TF 1500 - Modified exhaust manifold

Hello all,
See that :
https://www.ebay.com/itm/223589490361
The guy probably inserted a wall between cylinder 2 and 3.
What do you think of it ?

How to make a TD louder than a Harley but why? I just put 550 miles on my MGA over 3 days and, but for the Harleys going up and down the Tail of the Dragon all thinking they were racers, it was most pleasant. IMHO, loud exhausts do not contribute to safety.

"Tail of the Dragon".

OK. Had to look it up. It has its own website and obviously is a BIG destination.

Just to keep my post somewhat on topic:

You could get Derrington headers in the 50's if you wanted a performance/noise boost.

That eBay manifold is a disaster!

I could see someone trying to make a hone-made split-manifold dual exhaust set-up, but then why is the added stub blocked off? Makes no sense...

Chris - I have what I believe is a vintage Derrington header on my Wall o' Speed, and it looks quite different from what you show - the joints are welded differently, and it has an integral intake manifold.

Are you sure this isn't one of the modern ones Manley Ford has made?
