I bet it was custom-made. But let's first see some numbers and then put it into production

Very nice headers, so they must be of equal length!

The bends are quite different. Are they sections of j-bends cut and welded together? They almost look like flexible straws without the ridges.

That entire exhaust system looks amazing... no cats at all though, so that wouldn't work here in PA (we have annual safety and emissions inspections)

I think he means external tubing temperature. No one intentionally tries to cool the exhaust itself. That’s because the cooler exhaust is, the more dense it is, and the slower it moves. Slower exhaust velocity reduces scavenging, and increased scavenging is what exhaust design is all about.

Two words: MANDREL BENDER

haha, jees, there are so many welds I can't even count them, they could have saved alot of hassle by just using a mandrel bender. Anyways excellent job, quality is definitely impressive, thats definitely a pricey setup and not for 90% of the drivers out there but very nice for the extreme performance enthusiast.

Do you have about $300,000 to spare? Ok then?

Very nice job. Will you jet-hot coat them or similar? Did you do a before dyno run?

yaya me personally really digging with the welding coz its feeling hot & sporty wanna push it no doubt!!!
totally differ from the bender(but the fact its bender just can't provide the exact angle u want so doing by the old school way its the only solution!) the setting of my exhaust headers as att pics using 42.7mm tube---mid section 63mm------rear section 76mm, the muffller its striaght 2 piping out!!! with out any cat & disable the rear O2 signal!!!no immo problems!!(its fully custom made by the pros head to end!!!!)
as the ext temp i using DEFI to monitor it, its good to know that the temps during the fullload range!!!onece i got more develop pic from the pro i will post it asap,, so every knows!! an good stuff trying to share!!!!!!everyone cares the dyno run result the thing i know its take off the cat it can gian 15~20hp+ more so with its setting now should be more!!!i will do an run & let see how it rolls hahaha

nice work!! grind it all down and Jet Hot it. youll keep the underhood temps down, and it will look VERY nice.

he is using using egt to tune it. rich/lean, advanced/retarded all affect egt. high exhaust gas temps melt parts. this was more popular method of tuning before wideband o2's were so inexpensive, and there wasnt a dynojet on every corner.

I'd like to know a little more about this. How can someone tune an engine with an EGT? How does one determine what the *right* temperature is? If I retard the timing, the EGT will increase. Advancing timing will lower EGT. However, that doesn't tell me which timing change results in a higher power level. Changes in the A/F ratio affect EGT as well. Without a different measurement tool, such as a dyno or a qtr mile trap speed, how would I know what is better?

Also, I've owned several rotaries. Rotaries have much higher exhaust temperatures than their piston engined counterparts. It's common for a rotary to produce an 1800˚F exhaust temp. Nothing melts. What would melt on a street driven piston engine?

you don't need $300k, All you need is about $10 per bend. You can acheive any angle if you get the 180 degree U-bends and just cut it where you need to. either way impressive,

first piece i googled. its not meant to be an all encompassing method to tune, just an aid. rotaries are a totally different game all together.
