Exhaust fab
I saw this 2day at the Newark Auto Jumble....
It's done by Classic Custom Fabrications based in Newark. www.classiccustomfabrications.co.uk Nice demo piece but if it was on my car I'd want the exhaust pipes the same length, but nice quality of welding just the same. They will also sell you stainless steel mandrel bends and perforated tube also so you can build your own.

Oh man, I think I just made a stain on my chair . I would ordinarily agree about pipes being the same length but if you look closely 1 & 3 are linked as are 2 & 4 which makes me wonder if this is done deliberately for pulse tuning?

As with all things to do with engine tuning no two opinions are the same but every body says they are correct. Given that you have just lost 200-300kg worth of car to build a roadster looking at the bigger picture does it matter that the exhaust manifold design has lost you 3-5 hp but cost £300 plus to look pretty?

Exhaust tuning is a black art especially in two strokes and one bend wrong here and there will lose you power.
£300 would be cheap for a cutom exhaust,AAS in newcastle do them and if you have too ask the cost you probably cant afford it and they are always booked for months ahead.

The last paragraph of the exhaust chapter of the "Performance tuning in theory and practice, Four strokes" by A. Graham Bell:

Turbosports forum ran a header calculation program for me
The manifold I had was pretty good for primary diameter and bore, I just needed to make the collector wider and have the silencer can made with a specific collector to can distance. Running big valve head, bike carbs and RL31 cam Does it make a difference, we will find out when I rolling road it I though if I'm doing the exhaust I would do what I can to optimise it |

I think its easy to lose sight of the fact thats whats good for one is no good for another. Any standard engine will benefit from a free flowing exhaust period. It might only be a few horses but there is a difference, When tuning starts the difference gets bigger as you would be wasting money on cams and the like if the exhaust system is going to strangle the engine. Then on a full race max effort lump it all becomes critical
