Made a new exhaust today , what do yall think?

I had a lot of tire clearance issues but I managed to fix that. I need an idea for a hanger to support it , also is this exhaust long enough so I don't burn my valves and such? any feedback is appreciated .

im not shure where you wheel but I knoe my exhust is to low, if I go over a hill on mine it hits the pipe first. Yours looks good. Just grind down the welds and paint, and done!

Looks pretty good to me. Similar to what I did. Weld a tab to it 1/2 to 3/4 of the way back, and bracket it to the frame. You might want to cut open the last joint in a pie-shape and tuck the pipe up tighter.

As for the burnt valve thing- you have WAAAY too much pipe to worry about that. Not to crack open a can of worms or anything, but I have run open headers 6" and even shorter (and MANY times over MANY years) and NEVER had one'a those mythical unicorn burnt valve problems...

I agree 100% I have been running open headers too and never burnt my valves up

How does it sound? that is the question.

ok thanks for the advice guys ! tomorrow I will try to get a video up of the exhaust on my youtube channel

here is the video test guys !

Sounds good

Id have that ripped off in ten minutes lol.. I tend to keep my exhausts under the hood and above the wheels

I agree with pony, but it does sound nice

Sounds good.

i DONT Think i ever put a pic up here of my new exhaust i made a while ago to replace that one ill put it up later

sounds good! just needs to be painted red! lol so it stands out

If you still have this engine, I had one and I'll tell you what, them things are built tough. I don't care what anyone says, it may say 12.5hp, but that thing will go. Just don't do less than 8 inches of exhaust, because I did, and my valves didn't burn up, but the connecting rod blew into 3 pieces, but only had minor scoring on the crank, and didn't blow through the engine, I re-used the block on another 12.5hp.

Your exhaust had nothing to do with your internal failure. Please try to avoid misleading the public!

i thinkby yhe pic it is obvious that it is longer than 8"...

Yeah, anyone can clearly see that the cause was a bad connection between the seat and the steering wheel!      

Pipe sounds great!   Also if you look up Doc's flatty build, I put the part numbers in there for the upgraded con rod and dog bone... Just in case you want to rev it to the max without a worry.

Yea t dub thanks ive been looking at that im just saving up some cash if it werent for these dang bills i would have had it lol

Right-on brotha. All you need is the rod from B&S and the bone from ACR. And a little RTV silicone to seal her up again. Well, I guess you'd need a head gasket too, but anyway, it's a fairly cheap insurance if you're as tough on equipment as I am.     

Yup i also found a bone on another website without a minimum order

Sick!   Can you add that on the Flatty build thread for future reference?   

yup will do thanks
