Matra MS120 exhaust

For this car, we realized a tuned exhaust by respecting the engine development realized by Matra in 1970, which imposed a length of the primary tubes of 770 mm and a diameter of the primary tubes d40

the order of assembly of the primary tubes in the 6in1 respects the order of ignition : 1-8-5-10-3-7-6-11-2-9–4-12

the small deviation from the historical spirit is the choice of the material, focused on inconel ; the resistance of this one allowed to reduce by 40% the weight of the exhaust, that is to say 5.5 kg
