I have prepared this article on exhaust systems as they relate to the Rover SD1 3500cc V8 engine.

Before making any decision on the type of exhaust to fit, try to understand the science in simple terms, the general principles of exhausts and why they are designed the way we have to buy them.

In addition what changes can be made and how will they affect the performance of the engine. Finally, in practical terms, what modifications might we make when seeking improvements.

This document attempts to provide the insight needed to understand all the above issues. Read or download the article in PDF format from here (47kb)
