Exhaust System.
|
Mike Dwyer <mdwyer@...>
Hey Qers.
I had written about putting together a stainless exhaust system and ... you were right, it is next to impossible to bend that stuff. It appears only the mandrel bend machines can touch it. Now I'm thinking about using steel to make a 4 pipe system. Each pipe will exit at the bottom near the oil sump. I checked out this place that ceramic coats the pipes, $20 per foot. They say it keeps the heat in the pipes better. Does anyone here believe that or is it a waste of money? Thanks, Mike Q200

Mike -------- The ceramic coating really keeps the heat off. I have an
exhaust made from mandrel bent mild steel and I use the spray or paint on "ceramic " coating from JC Witney. Works well and although I've accidently touched the exhaust several times, there's no flesh left behind.------------- Canada Chris

I had it done for the 4 into 1 on my Revmaster. Not only did it help with heat reduction in the cowling, you don't have rusty pipes.

Is this Ceramic coat a dipping process or did you just spray the exterior?

Ron,
There's a place in Redwood City that ceramic coats exhaust pipes with a process called Jet Hot. They wire clean the inside and outside and coat both sides. They mainly do racing headers but will do airplanes. My 4:1 cost $75.00 for the full monty. I've done mine twice. It works very well. Colors are white, black and aluminum.

Don't recall the temperature rating as it was almost 7 years ago when I had my pipes done. The finish is the standard silver(ish) color and as I recall, the cost was around $175. They do nice work! Almost forgot, this was for the Revmaster 2100D 4 into 1 exhaust system. Greg

JohntenHave <Jtenhave@...>
I have been following this thread with some interest and having faced
the same problem, decided that there had to be an easier way without bending and without resorting to steel. Here is what I did. I made a four into four exhaust for my long eze exiting inside the cowling and found the easy way was to buy the 180 bends, the slip joints, the flanges and straight lengths of 321 ss from AC Spruce. You make life much easier if you start with virgin material. I bought the springs from a motorcycle shop. To figure out where the cuts went, I first bent alloy welding rod into the desired shape ( this defines / simulates the centerline of the pipe.)for each pipe. If you have trouble visualising the finished product, you can feed pipe diameter discs onto the welding rod to get a better feel for the clearances. I next made 2D cardboard patterns of the uncut bend segments and the straight pipes. This meant that the pattern was consumed at the same rate as the bends would be and allowed me to assess the angle of the cut for the next piece. I offered them up to the engine, marked and cut with a felt pen and then taped them up to the welding rod. When I was happy with that option, I then started at the exhaust end, bolted a flange up to the engine and cut the first tube using the first cardboard pattern( straight into the slip joint), and part by part cut and fitted each segment until it was done. As I went, I stuck each part together with masking tape and put reference marks on each joint. If it needed extra jigging, hot melt glue and welding rod segments did the biz. Because this needed to interact with other parts of the engine, I made sure that all the parts were in place, and I double checked with the bottom cowl before anything was welded. This included the heat muff and it's associated ducting. The next trick was to weld it all up and this was done by argon backing the assembly ( block the ends with cardboard and tape, and bleed argon through a small pipe into the inside of the job). Tack it up, try it in place and then weld it. The last part was to locate and attach lugs which the springs could attach to. I cut these out of the pipe material and located them such that I could still get a socket onto the exhaust nuts and offer the whole assy up to the engine without interference. No bending, custom formed 321 ss exhausts. Simple. --- In Q-LIST@..., Mike Dwyer <mdwyer@t...> wrote: Hey Qers.and ... you were right, it is next to impossible to bend that stuff.
