That exhaust came out great.

slocaddy

Thank you very much, I have about 2 days in it lol
I hope it's loud, but not too loud........I figure the exhaust wrap will serve as some kind of dampner, we shall see

So here is the exhaust installed, took me a little bit to figure out how to hang it, but I think it will work just fine .
Its not touching anything, clearance everywhere (not much in some areas) but I'm not anticipating any rattles(prob just jinxed myself) Check it out!

Bad angle, it does have space between trans heat sheild



Got it as close to floor/frame as i could



You knew ihad to paint it black

For sure- that's a tight fit in there- & a heat shield ftw!

Here is what I did for the hangers, because it's all one piece and space is a premium under the hood and under the car, I was Not going to be able to use these hangers in the traditional way they are designed. Problem is once the exhaust is lifted straight up to The turbo, you can't slide the pipe one way or the other, so bolts were welded in place and the hangers were fastend, and I have removable, rubber hanger exhaust!

slocaddy

Yea , I want everything to coexist in harmony lol, so taking preventive measures wherever I can

slocaddy

Stared installing the snow water/meth kit today, working out perfectly!
Should finish tomarrow

This build is awesome. I bet the exhaust will be perfect. Good sound, but not to loud. My car is dumped right by the tranny bell housing and it's not that loud. Turbo does a really good job of muffling the noise.. I posted on this over a year ago when you started. You have lot more patience then me. You have to be ready to drive this thing!

slocaddy

Thanks man! Oh yea I'm ready just tryin to double check everything as I go, hopfully not have any "major" issues........ Its soo close!! I can't wait to hear the exhaust side hooked up

slocaddy

Made a little clearance for the charge pipe.......


Hopefully get it decent looking....

slocaddy

Well, it's coming back together..... Charge pipe better be happy lol

thats how fabrication works. I build marine equipment for the navy, and our motto is "we make it nice coz we make it twice"

slocaddy

So body work is not on the agenda right now, so pretty much done with this for now. It will save it's purpose, however it's pretty ugly.....
Here is charge side mock up

Looking good! What's up with that early 50's Chevy in the exhaust pics? Love that style!
