Some details of what it's taking to make this exhaust. The fixture table earns its keep in this episode!

Outstanding!

We need a DNA sample from Martin!

Cloning should be investigated...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Are you planning a heat shield for the starter and tranny linkage?

I think you're going to need them.

I'd mount the starter shield to the starter and the tranny linkage shield to the exhaust pipe.

I believe the aluminum linkage bars will conduct heat bigtime into the cables themselves.
Might not be a problem but I'd test for temperature.
I'd expect the exhaust tubes to exceed 800 degrees at times.


Love the fixture table!


One thing I did notice...

You have an upright belt sander. This tool is my nemesis!

Yours is "beltless"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Only way these puppies are safe IMO!

I've been whipped RAW and BLEEDING too many times by those...


We need a Kitty update!

The Chris & Martin show! Simply the best. The crossover pipe build and jig table segment is a pleasure to see come together. Agree Martin should be cloned! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)
Glad you’re healing well Chris!
Hope the kitties are well.

The headers look better upside down than right side up.


Stainless?

@bkrantz - You hurt my feelings. Clearly, you've not been watching the videos. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
Yes, entire exhaust is 304 stainless. The header flanges are the original Ferrari cast stainless parts, sliced off the factory exhaust manifolds.


Sorry, my bad. I guess I am old school and prefer old fashioned words and photos (and I usually browse 914World while watching TV with my wife). I promise to do better.

Mocking up the header-to-X connection to verify clearance under the tube that runs to the muffler. I'm not wild about the look but I'm not sure I have much of a choice. I may play with a bit tighter radius at the header to see if like that any better.
The issue is that the quicker it turns at the front, the wider it has to be at the rear to get under the muffler tube as it drops.

Get yourself a gas lense for that stainless exhaust work! I use a 12 or a 14 cup on stainless, It keeps your welds from getting hot, reduces warping and makes it all look better. Plus ill do anything to avoid the look of burned stainless

The X-pipe's connected to the mufflers. Unfortunately, this isn't the way it'll look when everything's in there. The tubes from the headers to the rear of the X-pipe will block part of this view. But you'll know it's there!

The 914 Ferrari now has a crossover exhaust. It turned out great and I couldn't resist a few arsty fartsy shots.

Chris,

I know you are into the front end pretty deep, but you like doing things a couple of times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) so, I'll throw this idea out there.


Based on my Indy, IMSA, F1 and vintage racing fabricator experience I would tilt the radiator another 20-30 degrees forward and add diffuser surfaces to the top and bottom of the actual inlet area of the radiator that run all the way to the front sheet metal opening(s). This would improve and smooth the airflow to the radiator dramatically.

For air exit, I don't like the often-used holes in the wheel wells concept (though they are indiscrete). The aero is way too messy. So, I would also suggest tilting the trailing edge of the hood up 2 or 3 inches so that most of the air exits into the low-pressure area at the base of the windshield. Plus, hey, when your idling, hot air rises, right? Some of that hot air will also exit the sides. And some may sneak back in through the sides even at speed, but not much.

This also provides a unique (though pretty subtle) look to the front end.

Just my .02 worth.

Cheers, Paul VDL
