Herman … excellent question … and while working on the exhaust, I found a problem. In looking at the manifolds, I noticed there did not seem to be much clearance, between the manifold and the frame … and the manifold collectors seemed to put the pipes a bit low. I sent Bob at ERA a photo and he figured out the problem right away ... the motor is sitting too low!
He believes there is likely a stack up of tolerances and that the motor needs to be shimmed up about 1/4". So, that's easy enough to do and when I get a chance will try that and see how things look. Could also be the motor mounts are not correct.
Once that's sorted out, I can put together the rest of the exhaust, going to start with the Dynomax turbo mufflers that ERA runs, then have a short pipe that turns out before the rear tire. Should be a very similar setup as to what Wolf did for 2139 … except not the nice stainless steel pipes and mufflers he used.
