409 exhausts, Australia

[David Olivant]

>>I went the 'local company' route [in Scotland].
However I took in the spare parts book to give them an idea.
I specified 314 austenitic stainless for all parts, including the
internals, all 14 gauge, including stainless welding rods.
They were very good and the total price was £400.00 fitted.
I had previously had a local engineering workshop manufacture stainless
manifolds as mine had already been welded [poorly]
I would go with word of mouth, look at some of their work, talk to them,
but mainly write down what
you want done in as much detail as possible.

Looking at the parts list for the 409, the exhaust didn't have any resonators fitted in the front pipes.

I have attached a photo below of a resonator from my 411. It's a straight through design but the inside wall is perforated. It's very heavy for it's size and I suspect it is a "glasspack" resonator.

I'm not sure whether these were fitted to the 411 originally. The resonator body itself is handmade and there is no sign of rust so it is probably stainless steel.
