and here's one I did earlier

The car is an old Thunder Tiger DT10 bought 3rd or 4th hand by my nephew. All the transmission has been replaced (and modified) new clutch etc and working exhaust. The chassis was also made by me in order to allow for the car to accept standard sized Body shells. It goes like stink, the exhaust looks and works great and I have a very happy 15 yr old Nephew.

Nissan Skyline R34 currently being custom built now by me. (In 2 Fast 2 Furious colours)

Bluewave', doesn't that exhaust tubing scrub off a lot of power? On aircraft engines we find that more than a few inches causes overheating and power loss. For greater lengths you have to increase the inside diameter a lot so the motor can breathe down it. Maybe it's different on cars with all the gunning of the motor and little continous high speed running. Just thought I'd mention it. Nice job, by the way.

Sorry for delay in replying.....no noticeable loss in power from what I have seen so far but a much cleaner car as a result....It certainly performs ok, that's why I used the wide bore silicon tubing matched with aluminum tubing which is slightly wider bore than the outlet pipe from the original exhaust.

I tend to agree with WowB, how about turning the silencer up-side down or a simple manifold to a collector box behind rear axle with two stub pipes. Nice looking machine though.

Duncan, I have tried what you have suggested and even thought of a collector box but given the ground clearance of the chassis and other factors like clearance through rear suspension etc without fouling it's movement, the way I have it set up was by far the easiest and most effective. I did quite a bit of head scratching looking at various ways before settling with this...overall it works well. Thanks for the comments about the car in general though.

Regards......Mark.
