Tasteful Upgrades to a BJ7

Here's an upgrade I'm considering for my '63 BJ7. In the July/August 2012 (yeah I know it's been awhile) issue of the Austin Healey magazine AHCA there's an article on replacing the entire exhaust system for Healey's. Steve Day (British Car Ranch) came up with the upgrade. It can be found on their website www.britishcarranch.homestead.com even has a link to hear the actual sound when installed. Great article but need to find me a local shop willing to build it.
BTW has anyone else tried installing a "equalizer pipe"??


That is if I am not mistaken just a simple balance tube like we have been using every since V 8's arrived. Never put one on my healey but the Daimler came with one its a V 8.

Steve,

I'm impressed! How big would your list be if listing what remains from your original Donald Healey?

We added a Garmin GPS unit a few years ago ( and that I forgot to list here). Used JB Weld to attach a magnet to the stock 'base' such that the magnet holds it to the heater housing under the dash, with it plugged into the 'cigarette lighter' we'd previously attached to the wood behind the dash ( that holds the 'chicken' handle).
