Just thought i would show off what I have been working on the last couple days. I did them on the cheap using bends and scraps from some old sbc headers I had laying around, have the flanges if any body needs them. Never realized how much work it would be with making each flange and all.
Looks nice. I like the sweep back into the collector. Stainless or mild steel? Put up some more pics with the whole car shown.
thanks, I started to run out of bends on the last cylinder on both sides. There just mild steel, I just sanded all the rust and old paint off. I got some white BBQ paint from home depot so we will see how long that lasts. Now I just have to do something about the one grey door that sticks out like a sore thumb.
I'm thinking of a variation of the lake pipes. A little more swept down and longer. Have you seen Sellers lake headers on the 29? Cool ride. Nice to see an A shell instead of a 32. Been seeing too many of those lately. And wide 5's with caps? Cool. That's a big-ass steering wheel. How do you get out the door?
Yeah that A steering wheel kinda gets in the way but I am skinny and dont plan on selling it any time soon
Is the small diameter, non-cone shaped collector going to make them have a louder, crisper exhaust note.
no idea, just using what I had. Didnt feel like spending $60 on a pair of cones, I will let you know when I get it running. Hopefully soon
Im going to stain them amber and use them for the blinkers. They are old headlights to a riding on lawn mower. I want my car to be as legal as posable ,besides being loud, and those are my blinkers until I find some thing I like better. But I got to say they are kinda growing on me.
