We will have to check on how close it all is and keep this in mind.... turndowns were the original plan...
he had the mufflers pointing straight back to the tank; no turndowns or turn outs. Since they were mounted in the normal area in front of the rear end you wouldn't think it would be an issue, but on long freeway runs with the hot exhaust pointed straight at the stainless tank it got so hot his fuel pressure and pump were having issues. He added some turndowns on the Tour and it completely eliminated the problem.
