Exhaust

I bought mandrel bent mild steel tubes and collectors from Phil at http://www.fasttoys.net/ and spent 6 hours putting it all together today.
I got a bunch of 2" U-bends like this one and cut and welded them into an exhaust system

To speed things up, I took my regular old bandsaw and attached a couple of pieces of flat steel to either side of the blade, making a vertical bandsaw to cut the tubing

This is the start of the drivers side collector. The Jag V12 has four 3-into-1 exhaust manifolds so each side has two exhaust exits that need to be joined into one collector before going to the muffler.

Here is both drivers side tubes joined into one collector, before welding

And all welded up

And the passenger side, which was a lot easier to build

Another shot of the passenger side

And each side flows through a 2.5" Dynomax bullet muffler
