one off exhaust pics

Post by wiganer31 »

me again, as some will know im building a b230fk 360 (well ive built it now lol) still not done the exhaust after i took it to a place and they just did what they wanted and made a daft side exit sm2 and a bad attempt at that (dont have anything against side exits tbh but its a 2.5 inch on a 2.3 turbo), im gonna build my own but dont think the design i was thinking of will work because of the position of the back axle and drive shafts so i was wondering if anyone could post pics of there exhaust's to give me some ideas (standards and one off's),

heres whats left of the one the company fuked up, not a big problem though as only payed foe the diff and i can save some by cutting it off before it curves to the sill, shit pic as its on my fone and laying on a stone drive on a shitty cold day.

Scroll down a few posts in this link: http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... &start=240 to see mine. Downpipe to a single piece of 2.5 " tubing, to a back-box. Mines N/A, so the exhaust will flow good up to around 250hp.

the only problem with a side exit on 300s is the chassis rails cause the exhaust to sit very close to the ground
thats why i removed mine as i was sick of it scrapping :D

cheers mate, i quite like the little side exits, but a 2.5inc on a 2.3 turbo sounds stupid and would scrape on a stone lol

am i rite in thining that the black line is were the exhaust would normally run (im not even gonna do a proper photoshop so its a paint shop attempt lol)

Image
lol, thinking cut the current exhaust off were the red dot is, then 2 90 deg bends round the tank and then to the back, looks like it might go over the back axle and drive shaft? will now better when the lowering blocks are on (there 2" blocks btw)

obvs the fuel lines and cables etc will be sorted out, cant belive someone would drive about with it just like that sm2

yes it should go like your black line if you go under the axle i mock it with axle stands under the axle so the car sits at ride height
