Mine comes down from the rear bank and has a nice bend in it and then the pipe goes forward and has the front bank pipe coming STRAIGHT down into the top of the pipe.

I did not know how bad it was until I was at my exhuast shop yesterday and they told me and I was like DOH!!!!

So basicly if you cut a hole in the middle of a straw facing up and blow as hard as you can through the end and then try and blow into the hole cut in the top, you'll have a hard time getting the air through causing BACKPRESSURE.

EVERYDAY is a new experience, I hope to enjoy my car soon, and wiht hal no longer answering emails or PM's I am now on my own... with dixit and jaime to share locally in my misery.



BUT my car is having a new pipe and flanges made. I hope to have the car back today and I hope she runs like a beast.

And maybe some OT in the future to pay for some ceramic coating and an AFC.

Just letting yall know the deal

Maybe there will be good news tomorrow

 

it's very difficult to join the two banks going FORWARD because you need to make a right turn over the motor mount almost immediately after the pipe from the front bank joins the up-pipe. the best way to do this is to fabricate a collector. this will depend on how good your welder is.

sx7r- this shop is about the BEST in atlanta... they have the ONLY mandrel bending machine in atlanta, but yeah your correct

on_alert- This is the first time I have looked at your pipes.. GREAT setup.

I like how you went back and then came forward. Gives me a good idea for the future

Almost identical to mine except for the hump on the exhaust pipe.

 

thanks for the visual of all the pipes in their respective places.

 

Same as Nigel's.
