How much would an exhaust end cost?

I want a side exit on my jeep like the Merc G wagons.

They are quite costly to make being hand made mate

Example - materials alone is about £50 to £60 for one I am doing for someone else at the moment then my labour and consumables cost so about £150 - £175 all in for a single side exit like 1 of mine

M K

All done

Will pull the car out hopefully before new year to see what they sound like

Pictures in the order I finished them off in

































Thanks

Thanks Ian

I wanted to keep the ground clearance and the v-bands are just in case I need to remove them for further clearance

Hellraiser

Looks lovely mate, fair play to you. I also got side exit for my 3door when it gets back on road

Right, were is the center supports to stop it flattening over the bumps when you are rallycrossing it?

M K

iTrader: (9)

Didn't see the point in the center supports for what I am using it for but could easily add them in about half hour if I changed my mind

markk

iTrader: (2)

Nice change lol

Get it used properly

M K

iTrader: (9)

I thought you mean centre supports as in hangers to start hence the edit lol

Believe it or not I would actually like to try it on a loose surface but not just yet lol also I doubt it would be allowed in any classes due to its type of build

markk

iTrader: (2)

It would, super car class, you wouldn't regret it.

M K

iTrader: (9)

Could be very expensive learning curve for a novice like me lol

Only done a loose surface rally day once with about 2 hours driving if that lol

M K

iTrader: (9)

Forgot 2 pics from when I had to remove the rear exhaust section to weld the v-bands fully



3 piece rear end


Just gotta wait for the rubber bobbins to replace the temporary solid spacers

Great work mate just gets better

Will run it up Monday

M K

Got the car out today and fired up

Exhaust doesn't really sound any different as I've only added the tailpipes but it was only meant to direct any gases away from the underside anyway

Sound on the iPhone not great but here is a clip anyway

Can you really make this much better!

Ohhhh I am a sucker for letterbox exhausts! Sounds healthy too.

tbtstt

You'd have to make a few changes (exhaust configuration and a turbo restrictor immediately spring to mind), but I suspect this car is already pretty close to rallycross Supercar specification. In fact - and as I posted in my first post here - the reason I'm so taken by this build is because you've effectively built a road-legal rallycross Supercar.

However, having said that, I personally think it would be a shame to take your car rallycrossing: with all the thought and effort you have put in, it would be a terrible shame to see it get crashed into!

M K

Exhaust now mounted on its rubber bobbins so it's stiff but not solid and hopefully will have no cracking issues

I also gave the area a coat of oxide then stone guard where I had welded the bosses in, will give this a lick of matching paint when the bonnet is done a bit later in the year but will protect it for now

scarnny

Looks great , does it sound any different?

M K

iTrader: (9)

Not really mate

Just brings the pipes out from under the car where they were before, hopefully stop the underside getting so filthy lol

frayz

Lovely job on those Marc. Your welding has really come on well.

M K

iTrader: (9)

Thanks mate

Not quite as good as your mate Dave yet

Remade the gear lever surround today as trying to seal the cabin from all engine fumes etc

Before


After


Much better

Not done anything on the car in a few months but had the urge to do something with it today so thought I would tackle the alternator heat shield ......

This is what happened after a 250mile round trip and half a track day when I drove the car to Snetterton



Can't be having that so a heat shield was needed

Needed to make something up to go here


So made a cardboard mock up


Trial fit


Cut out of ally sheet and bent in the box pan folder


Also cut out a tab for mounting that needed to be welded on


Another trial fit


All welded up


Had to be careful when welding not to melt the edges back, can be tricky



Fitted


Just need to get some gold heat reflective material to cover it with,


Should do the trick nicely

Thanks
Marc
