As we were working on the Scoobie to sort out an oil leak on the gearbox and the fact that were waiting
for parts we didn\'t work on Kermy, I just finished off the fuel filler necks and firewall tubing.

Apparently we\'re just about to build a church organ !!!  :rolleyes:

Whats the wall thickness on the pipe you\'re using?

I think it\'s 2mm, will check when I get back to the workshop.

I\'ve just received word from the makers, the two cans have been fabricated and are being sent
tomorrow, we\'re putting a flange either side of them to make them easily changeable but also gives us
the option of putting two straight through pipes on to be MEGA LOUD for the shows !! wahahaha !  

[Brett]

That\'s brilliant!  I keep thinking of setting up a side exit again for the shows too

The exhaust system is a 4" downpipe then splits into two 3" pipes with two exit points
either side of the lock in the rear bumper.   Big HIGH flamage.  lol

Machine guns at the ready !!


More mods to what used to be a nice C-West bumper








Welding them in place


The finished holes.






The holes will have a custom carbon cover and the 3" pipes that come through the holes will have a reducer
pipe welded on to make a 4" exit.

The seond job tonight was to position the radiator and intercooler so that we can make the brackets.

Temporarily securing the bumper to check for clearances



Securing the splitter in place to check fitment with the wider bumper.
