![]() I decided to re-do mine (after 5 years of pounding the sidepipes onto speedbumps...)
This was done is SS304. Sure the linear expansion is a wee bit more, yet the thermal conductivity is nearly 1/3... Plus it dont rust and it looks cool. ![]() Material Properties Mild Steel-1010 SS304 Tensile Strength lb/in2 (70 F) 55,000 85,000 Yield Strength lb/in2 (70 F) 40,000 35,000 Elongation percent 20 55 Density lb/in2 0.283 0.29 Modulus of Elasticity x 106 lb/in2 29.5 28 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion in/in-F x 106 (70'F) 7.228 9.9 Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity BTU/ft-hr-F (70'F) 26.98 9.4 Before: ![]() ![]() After: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sounds great at idle, not toooo loud. BUt open it up, and "OH MY GAWD" loud. ![]() Oh well, good thing I'll be wearing a helmet and earplugs most of the time... ![]()

![]() I just put it together, and did only one 10-minute test drive.
Sounds great at idle, kinda like a Harley (with mufflers) in a low deep rumble, but not loud. Cruising is nice FFR Cobra sidepipe sound, mellow deep sidepipe sound. WOT is like all hell broke loose. ITS LOUD!!! DOH! Got on I-275 and did a 3rd gear WOT "dyno pull". Passed a semi and the bounce off the truck back into the car was REALLY LOUD. Oh well, good thing I'll be wearing a helmet and earplugs most of the time at the track. ![]() Will have video footage when I go to GingerMan Raceway for the weekend.

![]() I've had sort of the same idea as what you did here but yours looks alot easier than what I had in mind. How did you seal off to keep water, etc. out of the car?

![]() I _made_ my own torque-arm (actually this is the second one I built which is a twin 2x1" beam, versus the original 2"-beam).
I dont have a water/rain issue. Never drive the car in the rain... no issue. ![]() No really, with slicks in each corner, I dont drive it EVER in the rain. p.s. Here is a 35Meg video clip: http://www.dariusrudis.com/videos/20...Park_movie.wmv
