Not quite. Not enough room between firewall and tire to bring them out as low as I wanted.



It took 4 U-Bends, 4 J-Bends, 2 flanges, 2 Weld on Collectors, and 2 feet of 2.5" tubing to make what you see.

I made my own slip on collectors from weld on collectors because I'm cheap and have enough time to do so.
how did you cut that hole in the fender without jacking up the paint?

You mean like this?







Driver's side has 10 welds in the pipes. All are ground down and nearly invisible, and will be when the powder coating is done.

I just finished up the pass side final grinding/sanding tonight. I'll get them tacked to the flange, tack the EGT bungs, and tack the collector tabs on tomorrow night. Then it's time for some TIG welding by Ash Bros (here from RJ) to finish them up.

It's been a fun project, and not overly difficult. The hardest part was actually taking a die grinder to the fender, knowing the cost if I screwed the fender or paint up, lol.

exactley like that...GREAT JOB !!!!!!

Thanks...

Although the flanges came from Scribner, and the tubing from SPD Exhaust.

Flanges are 3/8" Moly steel, cut with a water jet. :shock:
