- After a couple of weeks off I'm back to tackle the #exhaust system on my #1950s #standard10. Original parts are no longer available, but luckily I've managed to source a complete #stainlesssteel system through the owners club. Will fitting it become an issue?...

That looked a very frustrating job. Glad you managed to make it work. You should do a comparison video of this and the Allegro in terms of what they’re like to use on a daily basis 🙂
A standard 10 last time I saw one of these was back in the 1960', It belonged to my metalwork teacher. It was more or less held together with tin plate. I did quite a lot of body work on it , as it was a right rot box. He liked it and back then he was lucky to be driving a car - not too many teachers could afford them. Have to admit I really enjoyed working on it - I certainly learnt a lot.
I'm assuming the best solution is to trim back the downpipe that leads to the muffler, so that all the clamps and the exhaust back will fit properly. The Standard sounds absolutely lovely! Been fighting you from the beginning, I know you will get this sorted!
Great job Alex!
Very good and I helped to replace the exhaust on my father’s Standard 10 many times. He would have loved a stainless steel one! I do think the front pipe should be shortened though.
You must be exhausted after that! 😃
I was lol!
Yes, sometimes you have to measure up the downpipe and cut to fit - even if it's supposed to be tailor made. Good job, Alex
I must say, Alex - the paint and chrome have come up splendidly!
Great to see you back publishing again - Alex vs the exhaust, epic showdown special!
Hope you get time to cut a little off the manifold section so everything fits a little better ... I know triumphs often have extra long exhaust pipes (shin burn specials), but it's not standard ...
If you do get a thin cutting disc for a grinder, remember not to twist the grinder when cutting, they cut much quicker but are not designed for side loads
Glad to see you back!
You are so lucky to have a friendly mechanic. I'm in my 70's and I'm unable to find anyone who's willing and knowledgeable enough to help me do the tappets and bleed the brakes on my 1959 vauxhall cresta pa. I'm in Cambridgeshire (Huntingdon) if anyone can help.
Nice job. Sounds sweet. 😎
Well, I can only say OUR blue (probably 1958!) STANDARD TEN never had a smart silvery stainless exhaust!
If only it had stainless steel BODYWORK, so the sills hadn't rusted, we may have been able to keep it for longer! It's a miracle you've got such a SURVIVOR CAR
I don't think you have any choice but to cut it back so it fits properly. Glad it got you to the takeaway!
Cut the engine pipe,which will allow the whole muffler to go further back. Use an angle grinder with a thin disc,preferably for stainless steel
Or use a hacksaw with a new blade, I have done this recently, agree, that the downpipe needs to be cut short - the fabricator would have made sure there was plenty of pipe - easier to cut a bit off than to add a piece!
I did wonder if the exhaust box would be better rotated the other way up to improve the alignment of the rear section - I have the same box fitted, to all things, a 1930 Standard Big Nine, it was the Club's answer to non-availability on a pre-war car and works fine!
Had a very similar problem fitting a stainless steel exhaust to my 1958 Austin cambridge mk1. Still knocks a little on start up as the front pipe is the wrong angle. Also Taylor made from original blue prints and not cheap!
the exhaust downpipe needs to be shorter, then everything should fit better mate, as much as you are loathed to cut the downpipe. but that would be better then it's done proper, you will feel much better, and it isn't so bodged like the previous exhaust
Yet one more thing! I notice this car actually has OPENING rear quarter light windows! (Why did most makes SKIMP on that!
Funny, I noticed that too! Something you might expect on an up-market luxury car back then, but not on a Standard 10, even a super de-luxe (or whatever Standard called it).
Hi not.watched the video will do tonight, not seen you in here much of late so hope your keeping well. New exhaust wow the amount of times I've fitted them. Always look.forward to your videos.
Thanks 👍
Is YOUR Allegro, by the way the car that's called GEORGE? I know somebody's is! Funnily enough, I saw a video of a classic car show, where a (non-Allegro), car was called GEORGE because of the numberplate!
Yes, George is my Allegro :)
