Greg,

Nice project! Look forward to seeing it, hopefully in person.

Since you're obviously into the NW Hot Rod scene does these cars from my neighborhood look familiar?

Are you using the old headers and exhaust or something different?

WTF? You think I'm Steve Rupp?

Speaking of which -- did he fall down an elevator shaft or something? :D

SIEG! Yeah --- They're familiar! One is a '32 Ford and the other one is a '35....

But really... no - I'm too old to remember what we were even talking about.

Nice looking rides though!

Sorry Gramps, didn't mean to tax your noggin. :thumbsup:

That's funny right there....

Darren

Wayne -- since you asked... No -- building custom food grade stainless steel headers and out the back exhaust. Working on some ideas now as a matter of fact!

So this is just prelim mock up.... I said HECK NO! to the two normal exhaust out the back idea.... BUT I'm toying with copying the new Ferrari 458 Italia exhaust using THREE tips... so two 3" with a 2 1/2" in the middle.... because the car is painted Ferrari Rosso Corsa red... :unibrow:

What do you guys think?? First two pics just show pipe location -- last pic is of the tip design....

Headers will be something along this line.....

Just my Giant loud opinion but I think It would look better above the axle housing. Bring the exhaust above the half shafts and together above the quick change cover.

Plus it won't hang so low.

I like the triple tip idea Greg.

I already suggested that. It looks terrible below the diff.

And If I was tall It might not matter cuz you will never see it. But if I was short I would move that up instead of looking at that all time.

Okay -- I can use some 4" thick body mount biscuits to get the room for that design idea... :thumbsup:

There is no way to run exhaust on top the rear end.

I prefer the exhaust in my face.


:rofl:

Sure there is. Just route it above the half inboard of the shock and close to the disc brake rotor. Then the half shaft will never hit the exhaust.

Rodger

Okay - that gets TWO of the three pipes routed.... :D

well are you going to do a Single muffler design with three pipes coming out of it or are you going to run dual ehaust into a custom made tip that has the Ferrari 3 pipe look. One is alot easier than the other.
I'm with Rodger there is plenty of room. More room than most cars.

Your pretty good at the CAD stuff. Everyone is doing it now.

Well there is only 2 pipes from the engine so the other is really just an exhaust tip. Unless the 3rd pipe connects to your butthole.

Just make it a little resonator. ;)

I posted that CAD up before I could give you credit for it! Sorry!

Too easy to hit "send".



I'll run dual exhaust and this design as a 'tip'.

Todd ---

I like your little "resonator" idea... it would probably take some mock up to get the sound right??

Have to thank both you and Bob for your work! Super kool stuff!

I wasn't looking for credit, I was trying to make it look like you did it, but you had to go and ruin that, huh!

The center pipe does get cut out into the 2 outside pipes. Not sure if it will affect the sound any. It will atleast have exhaust flowing out of the 3 pipes. Wouldn't want it to be just cosmetic.

No problem, I really couldn't resist doing it. I cheated and just Photoshopped the CAD rendering though.
That's the fun part. :unibrow:

I like the butthole sound --- think I've heard it before. Down south somewhere... let me think....... Um.......
:lol:

I could do a straight six -- two cylinders per "pipe". We used to do split manifolds "back in the day". You young'uns probably never heard a 6 with a split manifold. Bad azz... no go... but bad azz.

A sneak peek

Greg looks real good. How bout a nice pic and not just a little sneak :lol:
I also think the Tri tip exhaust would look pretty sweet or a custom tip like Tim built on the double dozen roadster.

Nice looking motor!

Acura TL & MDX have some interesting exhaust tips:

GW, Bob that three tube exhaust tip deal looks pretty neat

I wouldn't add any more tubes, though...You could be accused of being inspired by this guy, whom we all know as, The Master of the PAN FLUTE

(and perhaps the skin flute as well)

http://inlinethumb32.webshots.com/35...200x200Q85.jpg

Don't ask me why I know this, but you have to purchase the entire exhaust system from the cats back to get exhaust tips on a TL. It's... not cheap.

Greg, I like the tri-tip idea. You could make the middle one a whistle tip!

Matt

Oh yeah, maybe the center one could be a whistle tip.

"its like an alarm clock, WOO WOOOOOO"

LOL, "Dat's only in the MAWNIN... Because we up cookin' Breffis for somebody"

Fillin' in the front frame horns....

Dude!

Only in da' bay area would someone get 'way wit dat!

Guy does that crap in my "hood" I figure he's actin' like a big ol' TARGET... drivin' 'round say'n' shoot me... I'm right here!!

Get it right DB!

It's FO' SUMBUDY

If those filler piece was made out of Carbon Fibre, it would really tie in the Ferrari theme.

Just sayin.

Carbon fiber on a '32 Ford?! That is blasphemous! Never happen!

I leave that plastic stuff for guys with blue hair. :woot:

HA HA Might as well start over with a fiberglass body. NOT

Looking good Greg

Its no different then the body. Greg did you forget it's not steel.

Whoa whoa whoa... Oakland is its own animal in our bay area!

WOO WOO says Dubb Rubb. :rofl:

Looks great Greg.:yes:
