Exhausat Ideas

[Charley Davidson]

OK, I've been racking my brain for a unique exhaust and have come up with some ideas please vote on your favorite all are stacks

1. 6 pipes forming a gatling gun

2. 6 pipes in a round formation all with flappers (I have one already and Earthman will give me 2 leaving me only 3 to find)

3. 6 pipes in a line looking like a pipe organ (with flappers)

4. none of the above

This was supposed to be a poll but I screwed up, if someone (mods) can fix it please do.

6 inline with flappers. That would be cool to see them flapping in rythm. hehe

 

[Tim...Ok]

If your gonna go with multiple pipes, I'd go with the gatling gun idea, that would be pretty sweet..

 

[myoldtrucks]

Inline would be cool to see. I seem to remember the Gatlin gun exhaust tips for Harleys for sale somewhere...can't remember where now...have to do a search for them.

 

[Tim...Ok]

I was looking for pics, found lots of motorcycle gatling gun tips, but didn't find any on a car or truck

end all six into a short big tip with one big flapper! aluminum or brass for the flapper would be nice

I think the Harley ones spin when the bike is running. Gonna be crappy here for a couple days so not gonna get anything done on that project plus the grandsons birthday is tomorrow and the party is Saturday so I gotta get the wagon done.

Here's a roadster pickup with a 6 that's kinda cool....use the gatling tips instead of the megaphones???

i like the 6in a line....
big ol suckers though.

Rat Fink, I'm missing something on the roadster pickup but that's the look I want on the Harley.

Colton, I think if I go the six in a row they will be the 2" pipe as I have one flapper already and an offer for 2 more so I would only have to come up with 3 more, plus according to which way I turn them flat against the rear of cab or along side of bed I don't have much room between window and cab edge.

kinda like the 6 in a row with flappers, too bad they couldnt be between the cab and bed.why not be different[P

4. none of the above

Split the manifold and run two pipes.

 

[Got Rust?]

tractor parts store carry flappers maybe in a few different sizes. use em for vertical exaust.

I am hoping to go with something like rockets to help with my military theme.

Any ideas what I can use for a nose cone. I prefer round vs pointed cone.

Find you an older thick steel 5 lb fire extinguisher. They are very thick and taper to a point to where the valve goes.Just a thought

It appears that you are going to make this a flapper? Correct? If so you need to make these out of very light gauge aluminum so they function.

If I were doing it I would make the rocket/bomb/missal vertical and hinge the nose cone to be a flapper. I could hammer out a couple nose cones for you in aluminum or steel. It would also help if you gave us the diameter you plan to make these & more detail on function.[S

Colton, I suspect that by dispersing the exhaust from that little old tired 6 banger into 6 pipes that it will have a hard enough time lifting six 2" flappers

Now the next question is material, if I go with the Gatling gun look I think regular steel exhaust painted black will look the best.

If I go with the pipe organ look I'm not sure. I could get some thin wall 2" stainless @ the scrap yard pretty cheap, or find some old drag pipes, or regular exhaust pipe?

 

[Rust in peace]

The fire extinguisher idea is good...

I am planning to start with a basic cheap 6" round muffler. I plan to cut off the inlet and enlarge it to incorporate a 3" collector flange.

The exhaust will enter into the front of the muffler and the nosecone will extend the front of the muffler.

I have 55 chevy fenderwell headers I am going to run up-side-down. (Kind of look like a nitro funny car from the front.

I may angle them up in the front half way between level and 45 deg.

I need some sort of a noise suppressor for PA state inspection and I thought a muffler would be perfect.

A basic start with something like this. ((No Flapper))

Caps for gas bottles might work well or small gas bottles cut in half
