Fitting the Tourist Trophy Exhaust to my E-Type

[@jettrink7510]

We sure appreciate these quality videos... after fifty years of labor my days of bending low are over... work tables for every chore

[@geoffreystearns1690]

I once owned a white '61 E-type (flat floor) and had it painted in that same bright red. Thanks for the memories!

[@JamesPlatten-sz5ml]

I had a ‘62 XKE and lived in upstate N.Y. The airport in Buffalo has a road that goes under the runways. I never passed up a chance to blast through with my windows down. Thanks for sharing.

[@marknelson5929]

Sounds brilliant, looks stunning with it fitted. Taking it to the underground carpark made me smile, as it reminded me of my days in London UK in the early 1990s. I had a 'poor mans E-Type' in the form of a Triumph GT6 Mk.3, my mate had a GT6 Mk.2 - we would head out of London to Heathrow Airport late at night, particularly to drive through the longish Heathrow Tunnel - the sound of the two GT6s side by side through the tunnel with those delightful straight 6 engines echoing off the walls was fantastic - grins all round. Great days they were.

[@amham48]

Looks and sounds fantastic! The best part of your whole channel/series is you get to work with your dad...that is priceless!

[@tekis0]

What a blessing to be able to work alongside your dad.

[@cowskey]

When I was a mechanic in the late 60’s, we fitted the E type with the Abarth exhaust…4 tips coming up from the rear.

[@keith7836]

The cat has its roar back , did the same on my E Type , i feel your pleasure.

[@StephenJohnson-jb7xe]

I love how you took the car into an underground car park to hear how it sounds, like a big kid.

[@STANLIZ4]

Love the totally smoke free exhaust from your engine! Great exhaust system too! Thank you

[@fgb3126]

Don't see that too much anymore. Quality design and manufacture.

[@josephstevens3357]

Lovely piece of workmanship!

[@flyingarts6765]

Lovely sound, like those Pirellis too.

[@bobmillerick300]

Very nice upgrade. Looks like jewelry. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@dickritchie2596]

I love Richard’s enthusiasm. 👍🏻

[@jeanhawken4482]

Really beautiful

[@gf4353]

A thing of beauty is a JOY FOREVER

[@bar1066]

Fantastic. I would happily watch this several times over. The underground car park...wow!😲

[@arniewheeler4673]

love this ending, so envious, keep up the good work Rick.

[@stephenhenion8304]

I Love All European Cars.... I think your channel is Fantastic!!! I had VW Beetles, Spridgets , Fiat Spider and a couple R56 Minis.... you're an expert on Jags. Never drove one, but I'm sure that 6 cylinder engine pulls like crazy!!🎩🇺🇸🎩🇺🇸🎩

[@generalbystander1631]

Love your videos! They bring back wonderful memories of my 69 coupe and my 66 open top. One thing though … plenum not plenium

[@geraldswain3259]

General bystander, the channels resedent grammer and spell checker !.

[@kevinbwillson4161]

Excellent yet again Beautiful XKE Thanks

[@jimshaver898]

Perfect Pitch!

[@phillipdean9879]

Nothing sounds like an E Type exhaust. Love that car..🇦🇺🍺🍺

[@Quinndiver]

I fitted a tourist trophy from moss to my MGB. It sounds and looks great too!

[@The_Automobilist]

you are pretty cool about the fact your brake light switch melted and spilt all your brake fluid. I have heard a few issues on the Jag period brake light switches and I personally know one guy who almost wrote a MK2 3.8 of, as a failing brake light switch meant a failing brake ... That's how a car needs to look like! Ready to enjoy with not too much worry you might upset the trailer queen. I prefer this over any A+ restoration!

[@grahamlwilson]

The exhaust is the best part of the car now.

[@GenXPertChannel]

Looks great- I already purchased another system and have yet to install it. Unfortunately, the common steel headers on the market don't have flex pipes! If I had known, I'd have spent more on the stainless set with flex pipes instead of now having to buy flex pipes and cut the system up.

[@craigpennington1251]

You got a winner with the new exhaust system. Looks & sounds fantastic. You may see an increase of fuel mileage too. The 4.2s have the best sound of all the Jags I think Very well done.

[@andrepienaar6459]

Beautiful sound and soft on the eye! Maybe you should think of investing in a pocket knife? For opening packages?

[@VanderGroejn]

Love your vids. No bs, just skill and beautiful cars. Had the opportunity to drive an E-type V12 many years ago. In the summertime with the top down. Loved them ever since. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers 😁🍻👍

[@jagvette1]

You made me smile when you said the exhaust was too beautiful for your car, nothing is too beautiful for a Jaguar, as you say Automotive Jewelry. :). And you MUST know the oil leaks are a design feature to protect the underside of the car from rust. I just got to the bit with the new manifolds they look gorgeous, I am so jealous. As I have only lived in the USA for 25 years can you please answer a question, WHY do people hate Penzoil I heard it was because it contained wax, or is this an old wives tale ?, your like a kid in a candy store taking the car to an underground car-park, that's just what I would do, well done.

[@AB-pl1ko]

Re Penzoil, yep, the word that I'd heard from old timers is Penzoil oils are paraffin (wax) based, so more prone to clogging narrow internal engine passages versus other brands. Can't say if it's an old wives tale or not but I've never used Penzoil other than on the first car I had. Since then, have always gone with other brands.

[@richardwhatton1249]

Sounds great and we’ll done Miss. kind regards, Richard.

[@mickannieobrien2803]

Exhausting video Rich (sorry) magnificent exhaust and sound loved it great job. cheers

[@scotty6346]

Lovely E-Type! Jags piss oil out for a living! I'm in the UK and am an ex Jag tech, I own a pretty original 1964 3.8 MK2 manual, I will now check out if Moss do a TT exhaust for the MK2! 👍

[@graemelliott3942]

Waiting for you to wind it out and attach the go-pro outside the car in the back!

[@hughbishopnh]

Two weekends ago, I put the SS-big bore system (from Moss) on my -69. SS headers as well. Gorgeous to look at and sounds great. But like you I'm embarrassed with the leaks every time I go under this car.

[@stevemull2002]

Oil leaks on a classic British motorbike or car is normal, its called chassis lubrication, the more worrying thing about this lubrication process, is that when the pan (or sump as we call it) is dry and no more leakage on your garage floor, means the pan is EMPTY, and needs refilling with more 20/50 oil

[@JohnCarey1963Jag]

Looks very nice, good job done.

[@mikedx2706]

That sounds fantastic, just like an XK engine sound sing!

[@rcpmac]

Not having to tiptoe around a precious restoration occasionally can be liberating

[@tejolisboa]

Beautiful parts!!

[@2541968joey]

After a 500 mile drive this last weekend, decided a new exhaust was needed so off with the Cherry Bombs and looking at this set up from Moss. But...gotta have the 6 tube exhaust versus the standard manifolds. Nice sounding setup for sure.

[@stephanusjohanneshough2646]

Sounds fantastic.

[@herme99]

Lovely!

[@jianoconnor8414]

Lovely !.

[@crisholmurb007]

Great episode! - Any updates on the white XK150 coming? Would be great to see that car finished!

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Coming up next!

[@johndavey72]

Hello Richard. Well it's akin to watching Willie Wonkas Chocolate Factory! Don't you just love your job . You do make me chuckle . Dad does all the work while you hold the camera ! It does sound lovely and a very reasonably priced . Let's be honest if the exhaust needs replacing it's a no brainer ! How's the 150 coming along ? I saw it in the background .Thanks Richard .

[@lesmansom7817]

Parkade ? Are you serious, it’s a car park . Aye😎

[@noblenotes27]

SWEET !!!!!

[@garyprince2867]

Those pipes are 'nice' Richard but you should reach out to Staintune in Australia for a higher quality product. They make motorcycle systems that - even 40 years on - are still perfect. Joint venture?

[@billmeldrum2509]

Nice! 🇨🇦

[@graham6229]

Is there any better machine than the straight Jaguar XK engine ? When Enzo Ferrari said this car was the most beautiful in the world he must have included the 6 cylinder masterpiece. IMO

[@gryfandjane]

Sheer music. A decent exhaust system for my MG Midget is high on my bucket list. Someday…

[@larumpole]

Thank you for a very useful and timely video. I’m in the process of upgrading my ‘69 S2 OTS and was wondering about an exhaust system that would add to the enjoyment of the car, and your video and many of the comments (especially the one from London where I also grew up) settled that issue. Now I’m wondering about also converting to triple Webbers, any thoughts?

[@mwbond2322]

Hi Richard- Really dig your channel, I check it out whenever a new ones on. Particularly because I find it interesting and educational and learn something new each time. I've had 67 E-type like your nearly 40 years. just curious, I noticed the red air horns you installed. What brand are they and are they loud? I'm thinking doing the same. Best Regards

[@monkeybarmonkeyman]

Don't know about you guys, but my favorite metal is stainless steel then aluminum. Number three is a tossup !

[@markxl]

Nice looking piece of kit - it seems a shame to hide it under the car.

[@geraldswain3259]

Richard, it looks like the cam covers and carbs need a touch of solvol autosol, your neglecting her !.... Ha Ha Ha.

[@geoffmcconville5792]

Missing the lower coil mounting bracket?

[@gazzafloss]

The "E" sounds "just right" Richard...

[@ronschwolsky1626]

Nice!! When do we get to hear Dad?

[@SheardTV1]

First like, first comment. Yay! Love yours vids btw 😇.

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Thanks Andrew great to have you along

[@peterowens290]

Fun video to watch & the new exhaust looks great. I have heard better sound from this engine on a Utube vid but can' now find it. Overall I think the sound from the new exhaust was a bit docile

[@kostergratis]

Great sound! I just had my 4.2 XK engine rebuild, and I cannot wait to have it back in my own E-Type. You mentioned that it has more power after the exhaust upgrade. Is this really that noticeable? Have anyone else experienced this, and if so, can someone estimate how much more power I could expect from fitting one of these exhaust systems? :) I would think that the feeling of having more power would mostly come from the better and more aggressive sound, but I don't know :)

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Tourist Trophy is a strait through system whereas the original muffler uses a series of baffles

[@kostergratis]

@@RichardMichaelOwen thanks, yes I am sure it will result in better air flow. But I was wondering if you could indicate the power increase numerically? Would it for instance be a 10% increase in power? I won't hold you to it, as it can depend on so many factors such as the condition of your engine, fuel, ignition timing etc. :) Thanks again!

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

Exact % and peak power data can only come from testing on the dyno/rolling road

[@kostergratis]

@@RichardMichaelOwen it would be interesting to do a dyno test with the standard exhaust first and then swap it out for the TT model and redo the dyno test to see the difference :)

[@johannperaus6890]

Hi Richard! Unfortunately, I don't speak English very well. Tell me whether the stainless steel exhaust system was copied and chrome-plated. Because it looks wonderful. Best regards from Hans from the Mühlviertel in Upper Austria. 🇦🇹 Cheers 🍻

[@johannperaus6890]

@david woods Many thanks David and Cheers 🍻 Best regards from Hans 🇦🇹

[@johannperaus6890]

@david woods Thank you David 🍻

[@shirleyboy8859]

Electric..... No thanks....... For me a Large part of the pleasure of driving is the sound.... For me very little beats a V8... which is why I had 6 Rover SD1 V8`s and now drive a Range Rover 4.6 ltr.... Great video Richard.... Wonderful Car.... :-))))

[@dcallan812]

I only see one issue, no one will ever see the full thing once its fitted. Only the tail pipes show. I think they need to come with mirrors to put inder the car when parked.

[@rockydavies9555]

shipping label says 1 of 2 ?

[@johndavey72]

The enamal manifolds probably..

[@michaelkelly8955]

Richard is just a hoon.

[@dougs1115]

You let your Dad drive your Jag?

[@johna1160]

You don't drive your car in the rain and you live in British Columbia.... hmmm.

[@RichardMichaelOwen]

We have had 4-5 days of rain since March
