This
is what we start out with - some 2 1/2" straight tubing and some donuts
from Ron Covell. These donuts are real nice as they make really tight
turns without any "kinks".
We
will remake the end that bolts to the header collector, since it is too
long and will hang down below the frame rails.
At
this point, we have brought the hardest side back to the muffler. Every
joint has been TIG welded and sanded smooth. We will now duplicate this
to the other side.
Both
sides are now complete back to the mufflers. They are completely above
the bottom of the frame rails. They are also mirror images of each other,
which will look nice from under the back of the car.
The
pipes are now routed over the rear end (this is done with the rear
bottomed out so clearances are not an issue) and routed under the tank
(not shown). This is a nice exit point as it's not real noticable from
the side of the car
The
exhaust is now completed. Once the car is completely mocked up for the
last time, the exhaust will then be shipped out for Jet Hot coating.
Here's a shot of the
exhaust back from Jet Hot. They really do a nice job - stays clean and
shiny with minimal amount of work.
