BTW, they look great. do they coat the inside as well as the outside?

The two front cylinders go into the front pipe and the two rear go into the pipe that is closest to the oil pan. They are made from mild steel tubing and ceramic coated by a place in Phoenix. A sprint car header set for a Chevy V8 from Speedway Motors, part # 418-65600 $94.95 [old price] or you can use the assorted bends, part # 910-13817. The Chevy set will make two exhaust systems if you are careful.

The tailpipes are fastened to a bracket that is bolted using the oil pan to case bolts. This bracket also holds the carbheat, mixture and throttle cable. The bracket has two legs coming down and one going forward and bolted to a carburetor stud. Make the forward tube removable, otherwise the whole bracket assy. has to be removed to get the carburetor off. Use rubber belting between the hanger bracket and the tailpipes. ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:26:49 PM PST US From: "Jim Clement" <168x@merr.com> Subject: Tailwind-List: another exhaust 0.26 UPPERCASE_25_50 message body is 25-50% uppercase This is the best I can do to show the exhaust hanger. This pic shows a solid steel link from the hanger. It has since been changed to a rubber belting one. The tailpipes should be hung off the engine, not the engine mount.
