I recently saw a Rangie V8 of similar vintage to mine, 1991, with really
excellent looking twin tail pipe exhaust system....tail pipes each side of
the rear of the vehicle. Not only did it look very good it sounded good as
well
While I am definitely NOT into boy racer style mods to any vehicle and want
to keep my Rangie tidy but still practical to use as a 'truck', this really
appealed to me.

Anyone have any ideas where this modded exhaust may have come from?

Probably either Rimmer Bros or RPI Engineering - both have websites
and both advertise regularly in the comics.

I recently fitted the Rimmer system to my 97RR and I'm pretty pleased
with it. See recent thread entitled "P38 stainless exhaust" or
somesuch. Google this group - there has been plenty of discussion on
this topic over the last couple of years. You are looking at around
600GBP for the system, but it is guaranteed for life.

If you have specific questions, ask away.

Thanks for you info...........Rimmers seems to know what they are doing!!!!
but ni pics unfortunately.

It was (I will be honest here) the sound of that Rangie V8 that attracted my
attention to the exhaust system, so sweet, that has whetted my appetite.

Is your exhausts a twin tail pipe style?

Yes, although I opted for the sports system (twin large-bore tailpipes). I
think they do both sports and normal for both classic and P38 Rangies,
single and twin tailpipes. The sports systems are twin pipes, but they
supply the brackets for the n/s pipe if yours is a single (RH exit) type.
(Mine was a twin-pipe motor, but still needed the brackets.) Sound is
good - subtle rather than raucous, but pleasant on the ear.
