      Found this supplier of classic exhausts. Quite reasonable prices too.

      I was searching for my 4CV and found a Dauphine Gordini (perfect for my engine)

      I then looked at the Traction systems and they work out very reasonable too.

      Lots of other makes and models.

          I don’t know – but I will see the quality when my dauphine unit arrives.

          I also want a custom made manifold, and exhaust system for this engine but the rules in France make changing any part of the car illegal. Hence the new clutch on my Traction deems it unroadworthy ๐Ÿ™

          But just nice to find another supplier that is not too expensive.

          I love options ๐Ÿ™‚

            How would anyone know unless they pulled the engine and gearbox out and split them ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

            Some rules are just plain stupid, after all it’s a clutch doing the same job as the original.

              I am going through this with my 4CV – as I am putting in a dauphine engine (the told engine is terrible and in theory “broken”). But it is totally illegal to do this and when you go deeper into the rules, you cannot modify or change anything from the original homologation.

              Another guy who has a dauphine engine in his vehicle said when he worked for Renault in ’59 – ’62 they would exchange the 4CV original engine with a dauphine Ventoux engine as a matter of practise when the 4CV gave up the ghost.

              So changing from a perfo to a D or even a DS is against the law.

              But as I have been told “off the record” – who in France follows any of the laws, until they are caught. ๐Ÿ˜† ๐Ÿ˜†
