 Hi, at present I'm looking to refit the stainless steel exhaust system to my JH. Unfortunately the front box after the manifold is damaged due to it grounding out on the road. Therefore I'm considering removing the front box completely and replacing it with a straight pipe. This will give the car a couple of inches increased ground clearance in the middle of the car, as we need all the ground clearance we can get over here in the UK due to the terrible state of our roads and the over use of traffic calming measures such as speed bumps.


Removing the front box can be done easily by a specialist exhaust specialists for just a few pounds, however I was wondering what effect  removing it would have on the characteristics of the whole system. I know there is more to the design of an exhaust system than meets the eye and getting it wrong can greatly effect the performance of the engine.


Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Roland
