Custom Exhaust Routing

[MarshMobbin907]

I just pie cut mine and welded it back together. For complex bends I bought mandrel bends.

Not against pie cutting btw, I just did it to see how clean I could make the exhaust. After paint it looked amazing. Wish I took pics

Just like mentioned, I use the pre-bent mandrel bends. I do it for the cars, my truck and the motorcycles I build. Just place, measure, cut and tack from front to back. The problem with using something like copper pipe is you have to maintain the centerline from front to back to get the measurements right. It's overly difficult to do and requires a bunch of unnecessary math to measure radii and angles. For me, the distance for shipping is far, but I get my kits and parts from Columbia River in Oregon. Lead time is about a week before I have parts in hand. http://www.mandrelbends.com/

buy the mandrel bent stuff its way easier than trying to make some kit fit. If you have good welding skills a but joint will be fine, if not you risk burning a hole in the pipe that you will have to fix, and should clean any weld that runs inside the pipe from the blow through. Slip joints are nice if you can plan your exhaust to the 1/8 of every measurement or have a way to expand the pipe yourself.

oh and

This happens alot on forums and builds camaraderie among members, other forums may move it to a different thread when its enough to warrant a separate thread but it still happens.

I guarantee no one would be happy with me as a moderator. Torches would be lit. Pitchforks would be brandished.

Well for the sake of lack of tools, this was ideal. It was a little time consuming due to needing the pipes cooled before test fitting but the whole thing came out perfect with a little patience and twerking.

twerking??: So you actually were shaking your ass while build your exhaust? Must have been hard to mark straight lines but maybe that is where the patience part comes in.

What is the black coating that you used? Ceramic or high temperature paint or BBQ paint or other?

Must have been nice to build the exhaust with the cab off instead of laying on the floor eating welding sparks. When you ran the pipe through the side panel did you make a double wall pipe to protect the panel? Has your paint burned around the exhaust port? I assume your gas tank is at the rear between the frame rails.

You sound perfect for the job then.

Thanks for the link. These might be priced better than Walker piping at Carquest and there is far better selection.
