Introducing BISKWIK

[ScotI]

It's hard to tell from the images.... What material is the tubing you used?

*EDIT*
Found my answer in post #111. I think you'll want to make sure the 'hangers' used allow for some fore/aft shift as SS likes to 'grow' when it gets hot. Certain sections will see higher heat vs others so allowing movement seems to keep things happy. Just my experience/s w/the material.

Agreed. I would use hangers that offer more movement similar to how factory hangers work.

I've only built a few complete exhaust systems from scratch like you did so I'm still definitely a novice at it, but I think it's a lot of fun figuring out! Also was hoping you would decide to run it all the way out the back....having ridden in several side exhaust cars, it sounds odd to my ears only hearing part of the 8 cyls. You will be happy having the sound and fumes at the very back of the car!

I did not think about that. I appreciate the info. I will look into using a more traditional/OEM style hanger. The biggest issue I am running into is the clearance. I have tucked the exhaust up tighter than factory, so space is limited.

I agree, Jeff. I intend to drive this as daily as possible and I did not want the exhaust pumping out right by the windows. Nothing like a good dose of Carbon Monoxide while you're cruising!
