Title: 5" turbo back exhaust
Post by: old 1320 on April 19, 2014, 08:53:43 pm
Today I finished up the muffler change out. I opted to go 5" from the turbo to tip, and this is what I ended up with. All parts but 1 90 degree bend were found on ebay over a 4 mo period. Larry

Larry,

Nice clean job! How about adding your names, year, model & engine? Ken's is an excellent example right above.

Looks nice.  Is the black stuff a heat wrap?  What kind?

Roger,  no heat wrap . just a hi heat paint.  I am not a fan of heat wrap, the one thing I have seen at the track is engine fires due to oil soaked wrap.  I very seldom see it on race cars(drag turbo) any more.If I could afford the freight, I would send the system to Jet Hot and have it ceramic coated inside and out. The coating does reduce heat and is bullet proof. Larry
