Fantastic work there!!!

Just a personal opinion, but if that is a manual Line lock there; I think that an electronically operated one with a momentary button near the shifter or steering wheel is much more practical when you are at the track....

Noted having never used a line lock and trying to keep car simple went manual future upgrade thank you

Exhaust.....

Decided prime objective is to get car on road asap as losing the will to live

Most work from now on is bolt on so can upgrade in future

From some old pipes I made an exhaust system not perfect but will work for now

2.5inch pipe
2x flow master
2 x QTC cut outs
Rubber brackets made from strips cut out of lorry tyres

Used mild steel as stainless sounds like your farting in a bean can

No X or cross pipe as just don't sound right with them yes performance .........

Q. With the cut outs being under car I imagine that hot exhaust gases will be bad there. So intend to make some oval tube cut at 45* shooter pipes to stick out under seal

Required ? How long ? Just turn to floor ?

Look poo ?

You clever Bananarama! !!!!
Top job as usual.

I personally wouldn't worry too much about getting gases away ( unless aiming at something naughty ie fuel tank. ) always shut them if it stinks !

I would think you'd need the shooter pipes, but if you want them I'd turn them down, can't imagine they would look too good coming out of the side.

All looking good though mate. Nice work as usual.

Excellent work there's some detail there, top job

Post by **MattH** » Thu Jun 12, 14 8:04 am

Fantastic work. The exhaust looks great to me, especially going to the trouble of painting it as well.
Brilliant.

I think for the amount of time you'll have the cut-outs open you wouldn't need to worry about the gases, not that much would find it's way into the car anyway

Nice shoe collection Will

Seriously though great job on the exhaust

I'd angle short stubbies at 45 degrees towards the side of the car, so the Bananarama! the ground just as it exits the side of the car.

I believe turndowns will result in really bad resonance as the Bananarama! the blacktop and bounce right back into the chassis.........

Kinda like this.....

After playing with hard 3/16 stainless brake lines.

I found a little heat and they bend a treat.

For around the line lock and bias valve after many try's and 1/8npt seating issues. I went and had braided line made.

They will connect to the 3/16 hard lines under the car
