Exhaust issues with the SVA
Mark Allanson - 6/9/03 at 06:01 PM

Almost finished my exhaust today, the pipe entering the silencer is a little further out from the car than I would like, but as long as there are no SVA problems with it, I will live with it until I change the engine post SVA.

Anyone see any problems with this setup? Rescued attachment ExhaustComplete.jpg

Just make sure all edges are radiused, don't know about a heatshield..

What that you've got there above the passenger footwell - a spare radiator??

That looks alright as it is further in than the wheel and you haven't got the wing on yet. You don't need a heat shield for SVA but you could use some of that bandage stuff to cover your welds and edges if you wanted to.

yours, Pete.

P.S. I mean the heat resistant stuff, not the gaffer tape you are using to hold it on now.

I think it will be down to sharp edges now, the clamp before the silencer is a temporary measure so I can remove and refit the exhaust easily - I will butt weld the two pipes together once eveything else is finalised.

Kiwirex, that is my home made heater matrix, my mrs hates having cold feet!
