Default The side pipes

hello Fastraxsg

The side pipes on my cobra (and the headers) are home made.

the construction is revealed in this picture


As you can see the headers go into a collector (part of the header kit I brought) and then from the collector into a 3in pipe with a 45deg bend and straight into a 90deg bend to get the pipes to the side of the car.

After that it just steps up into a 4in pipe.

These now have tips made from sawn-off 4in mandrel bends and home made inserts to add muffling.

got the bends and joins etc from local exhaust centres. Having a home mig and a brother who can use it made the construction a lot easier - everything bespoke.

Others here have done the 4-pipes thing - maybe next time for me

hope this helps
