Straight thru exhaust?? bad idea?

[DavoAust]

i'm betting he just unbolts the flange right at the bottom of the manifold and bolts on a bent straight through section that probably exits inside the guard. no need for special extractors and you'd get the gas away from the car, all you need to do is unbolt the exhaust, swap the new one on and remove the guard liner.

thats basically exactly how it works...except no need to remove the guard liner.
The pipe actually exits in front of the drivers side front wheel. Clearence to the road is a bit dicey, but it just rests above the staging beam when the front tires are deflated for racing..so its all good.

Its about a 20min swap job, including removing the rest of teh stock exhaust system (which is just dead weight on the track when its not connected).

I like this guy.

LordWorm, what sort of engineering are you doing/have you done?
The majority of your posts of late have been spot on what I was going to say, only you beat me to it... Not that there's anything wrong with that

Thanks man...

No engineering for me...just lots of reading, research, and talking to engineers....

I'd like to do mechanical engineering one day when time permits.....
