Been working on connecting the exhaust tips to the silencers.
More difficult than I thought to do it right. Making tight curves is more difficult with tubing vs. making rolled cones. With tubing, the angle cuts can only be slightly different - otherwise the edges won't match up well. That's why there are so many sections on that Ferrari exhaust pic I posted elsewhere.
It's even more difficult because I need a small, tight "S" shaped connection.
I started cutting and shaping some small pieces, but I don't have the proper tools to make accurate cuts. To get it right will take lots of trial-and-error, and some luck. My hands are fucking sore today from working on stainless tubing pieces.
Now trying something different.
Designing a titanium bracket that will bolt onto the subframe exhaust tip holes. The bracket will have threaded bosses to relocate the exhaust tips. Maybe I can get a better angle to simplify the tip-to-silencer connection.
First, I need to fabricate a bracket that is adjustable for height and width.
