Yep...Cooper, but there are exhausts that flow a lot better around these days... I wouldn't think they would be worth much... |

For someone building an "original" S they may be priceless... Can't be too many that haven't been ditched. Cheers, Ian |

Priceless... 1. of inestimable worth; beyond valuation; invaluable 2. extremely amusing or ridiculous |

Also used on a couple of other cars with twins. Maybe MG 1100's? They pop up, but when one wants them they're impossible to find! Ask winnabbey. It's interesting to me that a pair of welded together steel pressings were cheaper and easier than formed tube which is the norm these days, but entirely reasonable for a company which pressed metal panels for a living. |

Yes, MG 1100, Cooper, Cooper S, Princess, etc. Most transverse A-series with twin carbs (except for the 1300GT) got those style of extractors. There was a slight variation in the different models though. |

MG1100 ones were same shape but different, a bit longer? I think. The problem with all these pressings was they were thinner than a stock 1/16" wall zorst pipe.. so did not last well. |

1275 S ones are 1/4" longer than others because the 1275 block is 1/4" taller than other blocks. 970 & 1071 S blocks are the same height as small bore 998/1098 blocks. Not sure about 997 blocks. RonR |

997 blocks are just an underbored 998/1098 block. I took one out to 68mm bore back in 1968. |

These ones are now in winnabbeys hands. They were/are new old stock and are covered in a thick black enamel from the factory. They weren't fitted to a car from new, so will leave the grey or black one alone as there may have been a different supply chain for the aftermarket. |
