I am wondering if it would be possible to fab up my own exhaust system for my 1.8L engine. I figure i might be able to save some money this way, instead of buying a brand new one from AA or whomever and i'll learn how to make an exhaust as well. Just wanted to see what other people have done and how they went about it. Pictures would be great. I plan on getting rid of the heat exchangers if that helps out at all!
Thanks in advance everybody!! |

I will email the company I did the work for to see if they mind me posting it- they paid for the work to be done but that was almost 7 years ago.

Have you heard of Jay Ivey? it's odd that he puts them on his customers race engines if they're such poor performers. Perhaps he has never tested them comparatively, OR perhaps they work better than any other arrangement he has used. OR perhaps he has to use them to meet Db restrictions at some tracks and they work better at that Db level than anything else. There are times when people make decisions based on things other than performance, even in racing.. weight and fitting challenges are just a couple. The company I did the testing for HAD to use them as they were recognized as a spark arrestor and where their engines were applied that was mandated by the USFS. I emailed the company that I did the work for and they replied saying they don't care if we share the info. I'll do my best to capture some of the data and post it on my forums sometime in the next week. |
