SIDE EXIT EXHAUST
so my previous exhaust i claimed was a bit to big for my liking to be fair , so i got another of fleebay for £15
cutted a four inch (100mm) hole straight though the sj rear wing like so
spend all evening cutting and drilling to get this frame think its the most annoyest thing i have ever made its not a work of art as such but it works need tweeking
then the final result
3.5inch BOAAARRR
now the pipe work to do , it might a bit overkill but i like it

Although not to my taste good job on the exhaust.
What are those arch extensions made of/where did they come from?

yeah they do seem to tie in well with the body styling which is why I asked.
maybe someone else will identify them as an after market job.

not much progress today , but let there be light , finished off all the wiring at last
next stage is to order the custom fuel tank , finish the exhaust , breathers , and give it a slap of paint
