Any custom and/or home made exhausts out there? I bought a bunch of 2.5" tubing, a muffler, some flanges/clamps/hangers, and plan on making my own cat back. Figure I I'd throw a post out there about in case anyone wanted to chime in. I got some pre bents in a 180 and a few 45's to cut and weld in for any twists and turns.
Looking to keep it as simple as possible, straight out and a sweep over to side exit before the tire. I converted to 1 piece driveshaft, so there's no need to bend around the center support crossmember
I dont think it would cause a heat effect being a slighlty tucked up straight piece where it usually bends under the ctr support crossmember
I heard weld rusts (faster), and will probably try to keep the welds to a minimum, and utilize clamps at the slip joints when/where feasible.
Not sure If I will tack and clamp in those places or just clamp and factor in hangers.
Figure I can hit welds with a rattle can of high heat or aluminum paint to fight rust (at least on the outside).There's probably exhaust specific paint out there....
I ordered a new set of spring bolts and the catcher nuts for the cat to exhaust pipe connecting flange while at it (mine were rusty and mangled) was about $25 for the set.
I may try to tech post about it if this all works out....
