Default It's a nice looking setup but

DanEC Dan The bents are fine but you have not allowed enough clearance between body of car and exhaust system. Also need room for shields to protect gas tank and body of car. I think that this system might work with adding exhaust rap around the pipe that goes over the rearend and jet coat it. A second shield has to go between gas tank and pipe. The other issue is amount of heat added to the fuel with both rearend rotors, air coming down the tunnel and now an exhaust system all adding heat to this location. The other thing is getting the moister out of the pipes. You will need drain holes in the mufflers or the system will rot out in a year or 2. Been there, tryed this on another car with same problem for rear exhaust. Ended with tail pipes coming out in front of rear tires and angle tips down and back to reduce noise. I think it would be better to do like the vettes with going under the center of the car rearend and then going out to the tires and along the trunk floor. Either way you are going to needs shields. You might want to get a infared temp gun and check these temps before any long drive is tryed. Just a thought. Rick L. Ps Bob P is pretty good at engineering on ERAs. I think there is a good reason that he runs small pipe out the back. I want to say that somewhere I read an article about heat transferance and you need 2" for safe clearance. If noise is an issue go to a longer muffler or a 3 chamber one. I don't think that spin tech is too quiet.
