The "double slip" connectors have arrived. Vibrant Performance pieces. REALLY nicely constructed. Will you clamp these or just rely on slip-fit? @bkrantz - They have no accomodation for clamping. The rear component essentially bottoms out on the turn down of the outer layer on the front piece. Apparently, that's all that's needed. I may add a tab set so they can be bolted together, just to stabilize the joint/middle of that section of the exhaust. We'll see what happens as I work out the muffler mount. |

Adding springs between paired tabs is a very Italian way of doing things.
Most of the time three springs at 120 degrees increments. |

And for any interested parties, here's video of the exhaust evolution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ9FcldXOz4 I'm really blown away with your shop capabilities. seems you have everything needed for fabing almost anything. As a retired design engineer I can appreciate what you have there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) Barefoot |

Everything tacked, ready for final welding. Note there's not yet a rear mount supporting the rear of the mufflers - they're only held in place by the double slips so things aren't completely in their exact, final location.
But I couldn't be happier with how this exhaust is turning out. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() ![]() |

I guess if there is no tension or torque on the slip joint it will stay tight, especially after a bit of heat cycle oxidation. |

I'll second the suggestion of springs...very racing oriented, Italian and Porsche worthy!

Getting started on the oil lines. First step was to install the weld-on -16 AN fittings on the air/oil separater and the low pressure return line. The oil cooler goes between these two fittings.
The line pictured is a spare I had, not the actual piece that'll be used. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |

The factory Ferrari muffler mount (upside down pic, sorry. It's all I could find) versus one that's been subjected to some At The Red Barn mods. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
My version is lighter and prettier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Yes, a little bit more tidying up to do but, as I regularly say: You get the idea. Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() Attached image(s) ![]() |

I know you're dying to catch up on the exhaust build. This episode brings you current with progress through yesterday.

The attention to detail is mind blowing. I am obviously a Red Barn fan; Chris is just the best. I would have a hard time letting those little kitties go; they are so cute and so well adjusted/socialized. I am sure wherever they end up, they will be loved and well cared for.

Turns out I was wrong about not needing a cross-over. Shoulda listened to @chris914n6
And it seems the car itself was pissed at me for that, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RigFn6UJN2E |

I hope your hand heals up quickly Chris; it sure does not look like it slowed you down at all. Stitches give you character. You and Martin are making great progress on the Ferrari car. Hopefully one day soon Bobby and I will be causing over to see you in my car. Those kitties are going to have wonderful lives because they are well socialized.

And a final test fit. Yes, it'll have a foam seal between the mount and the rad.

Chris...
My wife Betty says "I'ts not a good job until you bleed on it and cuss at it." I just assume you have already cussed at it a few times, so it looks like this is going to be a good job. And as a soft can opener, I appreciate all you do for the kitties. Thank you! |

The kitties are completely trained.
One of the first steps is to use Humans as furniture! Best place to be in on the shoulders. Closest to the brain for the "Power of Purr" to work properly. "Total and Complete World Domination" via subconscious manipulation. That little red one has you and you know it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) Now, car stuff! Plenty of room for a big condenser. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ninja.gif) It's properly ducted already... I'd keep the original exhaust you made. I'd want to try it out too... Thanks for the update! |

And a final test fit. Yes, it'll have a foam seal between the mount and the rad. I dont know if you plan to keep the louvered floor but make sure you cover it up before the radiator, dont want all that precious cooling air leaking out like a blood from a hand…..

Turns out I was wrong about not needing a cross-over. Shoulda listened to @chris914n6 And it seems the car itself was pissed at me for that, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RigFn6UJN2E I have U shaped and weird X shaped scars on my arms and hands. My darn skin changed and now a stern look seems to tear it. A lot of times I have no idea how I bloodied myself. I just pull the "flap" back to where is was, smother it with neosporin and slap a big bandaid on. I have a whole drawer in the bathroom just for my bandaid collection. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Can not wait to see what this X pipe version will look like, more so how it sounds. I think the X pipe gave the Anza/Monza exhaust a, what I used to refer to as a European sound. Like there is something angry in there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Rock on dude |
