3 inch straight through exhaust

[solarman216]

No plans to Davy, and I would need my lift to do one, but I do have a lot of pipe over, Rick

Nice Looking pipework !

Looks great - the front pipe looks close to the body work, any likelihood of it catching when engine is running lumpy on warm up or as you switch off ?

 

[solarman216]

Yes it is close, but it is also close to the transfer box lever linkage, so due to its size I opted to get it as close to the linkage as possible so giving max chassis clearance, we will have to wait and see on that one, Rick

 

[solarman216]

Did not get on so well today as got a call out, used the Mrs motor but of course takes time to transfer kit from mine to hers cos never know what I might need, anyway this is the before axle rubber mount, still adjustable sideways at the mo till I get the rest fabricated

 

[solarman216]

Need to put a support here to remove strain on the flexi

 

[solarman216]

Laid on floor for comparison new and old

 

[solarman216]

Mid section, note no box

 

[solarman216]

And tail section, but had to re make this as after dropping it onto it's wheels I could see a fouling issue, almost sorted that apart from the last bend, but decided better to fully weld the other sections now as time was getting on and need to be mobile ASAP, hit a snag with welding the tube to the 10mm plate, could not get nice welds with stainless wire, so going to try mild steel wire tomorrow and see, Rick

What a piece of work Rick :bow

 

[FerdiNL]

Looks very good!
Next update is a clip how it sounds like?

 

[elty001]

On my to do list.
Have all the parts to build a stainless system saved on my flea bay watch list:thumb2
I'm waiting until we get some thick enough stainless in at work to get the flanges cut:thumb2
Good work Rick!!!!

 

[solarman216]

Front pipe fitted

 

[solarman216]

Centre pipe with completed support at rear, oh and new springs same length but 20% stronger

 

[solarman216]

Tail pipe with hanger

 

[solarman216]

From the rear, only thing left to do is a support near the front of the centre pipe to take strain from the flexi, been for a test drive over rough ground and no knocking, none either on engine shut down shake, so all good sounds nice, if a little droney, but not too loud, the loud pedal is much more responsive although I only went round town,having directed the tail pipe a bit to the side I can see the smoke better and looks like it will take a little reduction on the low down fuel, I LIKE Rick

 

[solarman216]

I will try and do a short vid tomorrow to let you hear it's sound, but I need another person to hit the loud pedal, Rick

Glad you've just put that as I was about to ask when we can hear it :clap

 

[solarman216]

The sound

Well here it is, a bit short but takes long time to upload for me, https://youtu.be/TDefcek8Rz8 it really is not very noisy at all, Rick

 

[FerdiNL]

That sounds pretty good!

 

[solarman216]

Well it is probably my hearing as over the last couple of days I noticed many heads turning if I give it a little bit of pedal, but the response is so much better, Rick
