is it a 74 or 75 it looks more like a 75 MGB but i couldnt get a great look at it i have a 75 MGB and it looks similar anyway nice car though mate, and to all the people that say that british cars arent supposed to sound like that, go back in British auto history and see that the MG played a big role in rally racing and track racing its a sporty little car with bullocks and i think it gets to sound how IT WANTS TO!
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs + injection and tank clean and rustfree
British cars came from the factory with great sounding exhaust. This is why British car buffs will give you some flack about a custom glass pack. Still it is your car and you can do what you want to it. Took a whole year to find a good exhaust note (picky) ended up going with a early stock system on my 78 MGB.
@lschlachter1 You need to learn your MGB's better before you make such declarations. Mid year of '74 they went to rubber among other changes made in '74.
Well I suppose everybody is entitled to their opinion. you can make your british sports car sound however you want, but mine will always sound like this.
@creedyguldunjka That was uncalled for and uncool. Everyone has a right to do what they want to their cars. I own 60's muscle cars, MG's and others and one group I've always liked was the old British car group because they seem more tolerant and supportive of each other. It would sure be boring if we all painted our cars only the color that you like, had only the exhaust that you approve. I admit that I'm not a fan of the exhaust setup but I'll stand by the man's right to do it his way.
its an 18V engine with 8.8:1 compression pistons bored .40 over, a Weber DGV 2-barrel carb with lager jets, a street cam, electronic ignition, and LBC headers to 2" exhaust to a 12" glass pack muffler in the rear. Sorry I took so long for me to respond.
the note off the exhaust is so sweet! There's something about those old cars ay?! my folks have a 1966 MGB Roadster with the chrome Bumpers and 60 spoke wheels, but it doesn't run at the minute. I'm jealous!!!
I liked the sound.

thats not a 1974 MGB

@lschlachter1 Oh ya it's a 1974 MGB, although because it has a rubber bumper some refer to it as a 74.5. Either way its still a 1974.

sounds awful, get yourself a BIG-BORE, SINGLE-BOX system (not s/s), & keep the stock headers...

Sounds a little how my MG Midget sounds.
I love that sound!

That's not how an MGB is supposed to sound. Glass packs don't go on British sports cars. It sounds like shit.

Dude- learn how to fold your soft top. If you keep folding it that way you'll ruin it quickly.
