cheers dude

not fitted them yet but they will come out to the right just after the collector on the header and the waste pipe will go down to the ground

[glenn]

looking good ross

that top radiator hose looks quite close to the exhaust collector......or is it the angle of the pics...?

thanks Glenn, no your right it is rather close the exhausts are going to be wrapped so I'll just have to see how it goes
could always make some sort of heat shield if need be

that's why I put stainless pipe in it and as less hose as poss

[ross2009]

more exhaust work today downpipe for one side is complete











managed to wrap half of one header as ive still gotta fit the wastegates yet so ive left a bit bare and will wrap the rest when done

[Falamon]

Love this thread... this is a dream build.
What are you wrapping the manifolds with? I've never seen them wrapped before...

thanks dude
you've never heard of exhaust wrap?

it's like a fibreglass weave you wrap it tight around any exhaust system motor bike car anything that gets hot really
and it's designed to keep your engine bay temps down and hold the heat in the exhaust

[ross2009]

other side in progress





sort of finished

[craigieeb]

It all looks as tight as a nun's chuff

[ross2009]

ha ha
there actually quite abit of room down the passenger side
it's a lot tighter drivers side

steering linkage isn't a problem goes straight past that nothing a little hammer won't sort out ;)

[glenn]

those downpipes look awesome ross, very neat joints

[manse73]

[ross2009]

Use the carb of the falcon

already tried it mate still the same

[ross2009]

sexy

[ross2009]

getting around to putting the waste gates on soon and want some opinions to where I should have the dump pipes

now the easiest place to put the wastegates the dump pipes would lend them selves to go straight out of the front wings
now what are people options about having them out of the front wings or have them plumbed down to the floor ??

[ross2009]

started fitting the wastegates today

there going to go about here




one tacked in place






and the other side already done




the other side mock fitted just need to wrap them now

[Todd130490]
