I dont think I want to chance it. It is sooo close. If I had another 1/16" I would run them.

I think I am going to run these untill I can get some dough to buy the angled ones that I want.

the m/t's gonna work with your puke tank setup?

« **Reply #9 on:** July 12, 2011, 05:39:59 PM »

I'm sureI can make it work, but wont look as good as it does now. I'll probably Bite the bullet and find a pair of tall Moon breathers. Then I can sell them for a little more when the time comes

Installed split bowl and mini droop. The exhaust is almost done. I need to finish the S.S. tail pipes, should be finished welding and polishing tomorrow, and epoxy/fiberglass the old holes from the original tips.

Did ya use elbows or was the exhaust hose flexible enough to make the bends inwards

Looking great by the way

« **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2011, 09:32:14 AM »

No elbows, no flexible exhaust hose. I am fabricating 4" S.S. tailpipes from risers to tips. The hose that's on there was just for mock up. I should be done fabbing them up today or tomorrow

Brandon, what. Sealing the as pipes to the risers?
I don't see any rubber, clamps, joint etc. Looks awesome but what's the secret?

Chris

Looks good! What r u gonna do about all the black carbon that will get all over ur swim step though?

« **Reply #24 on:** July 28, 2011, 11:13:25 AM »
