Los Alamitos, CA, September 29, 2008 - At most trade shows you will find a booth filled with merchandise, in the case of the SEMA Show it’s usually the latest and greatest in automotive parts with a few cars or other vehicles offered up as eye candy. But how about something completely different? This year at the 2008 SEMA Show, Cone Engineering presents The Art of the Fabricator.

This theme celebrates the artistry of the fabricator and the works that come out of their labor. Featured in the Cone Engineering booth (Hot Rod Alley, #23475) at this year’s SEMA Show (Nov. 4th – 7th), will be the work of several prominent engine, exhaust, and Hot Rod builders. Visitors to the booth will get the chance to see up close how Megs Exhaust Builders Warehouse components actually come to life in real world examples. You’ll have the opportunity to meet the builders, discuss their work and find out how these components simplified their fabrication work. Also part of the exhibit will be the automotive artwork of painter Larry Gardinier. To commemorate this event, a special limited-edition Gardinier print was commissioned as a gift for our visitors.

Fabricators currently scheduled to attend/display:
American Racing Headers, Dodge V-10 Viper
Bruning Auto Design, Hemi Twin Turbo
Chad’s Custom Headers, Big Block Chevy, and Ford Model A
Fuller Hot Rods, Buell Twin
Hollywood Hot Rods, Ardun Flathead, and vintage style Small Block Chevy
JSE Racing, Turbocharged Air-cooled VW Dragster Engine
Megs Exhaust Builders Warehouse, Flathead V8
Revolution Mini Works, Mini Cooper


Cone Engineering was established in 1970 to provide pre-fabricated exhaust components to automotive and motorcycle companies, both OEM and aftermarket. Cone Engineering is also known for the Megs brand of exhaust tips that are very popular in the hot rod and street rod market.

In 2006, Megs Exhaust Builders Warehouse was created to provide fabricators with products that had previously been available to only large manufacturers. These products are designed to speed production, reduce costs and generally make the fabricator’s life easier! We produce a number of items you will find nowhere else, both in quality and design. Our goal is to be your source for fabricated exhaust products. We are constantly adding additional products to give a full range of items needed to create custom designed and built exhaust systems.

Our constantly evolving and expanding website helps Megs Exhaust Builders Warehouse customers locate the components they need for their projects. New products are continually being added to expand the depth and breadth of our offerings. To see our current products and learn more about us visit our website at www.coneeng.com.

Cone Engineering, Inc. is a leader in offering custom, semi-custom, and private-label manufacturing options for fabricated exhaust components.

Tim should have the oil pan finished today as well. The bottom of the pan matches the Bellhousing...

Couple of progress pics - flange is 3/8" 6061 designed by Automotive Design Engineering.





Stay tuned for progress updates as we get the engine ready to display at SEMA in a couple weeks. Also received a "one-off" clutch package from Centerforce and also some thermal protection products from DEI.
