Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
Update - H-pipe Exhaust
Getting my H-pipe figured out. Never cut saddles before. I found it's easier than I thunk 😉 It's a little low right now, going to prob cut the 45° in half and draw it up to maybe 40° or so. It doesn't hang below the cross-members but there's plenty of room to draw it up.
I cut the saddles using a carpenter square. I marked a center first, then about a 1/8" away from center line I made my 35 degree marks and cut them. I don't have a band saw so this was done with a mix of large 6" cut off wheels and a sawzall.
The plan is that these 2 saddles will go on each side of the exhaust and I will use v-band clamps on their ends to join the center 45 degree section. This should allow easy removal in case of maintenance.
And these little guys I got from Summit. They are rubber isolators that should work real nice for securing the exhaust at the trailing arm x-member.
