Oversized Head for Undersized Exhaust Anonymous Sat Jun 23 06:29:59 2018 No.1411421 [Reply] [Original]

I finally got this perfect exhaust pipe head, but I'm having trouble installing it in my car. The new exhaust head has 1/3rd wider diameter than the exhaust pipe, and while it shouldn't be too hard to make an adapter to it, the pipe also has a bend upwards in the short distance before the rear bumper.

Is it even possible to install the new head here to the same height as the original pipe, and even more importantly, can the old 40mm pipe even support the weight of the surprisingly heavy double head?

Welds don't last long on an exhaust pipe, especially in Finnish conditions. The constant shaking, saltwater and temperature changes would break them, which is why all exhaust pieces here are connected to each other with pic related.

They look great! I have always liked cars like Cadillac Eldorado, but they have too bad fuel economy and old, unreliable technology to be practical, so I decided to buy a practical car and modify it to look better instead. Literally any car on earth looks better with fins, so I also hope this would inspire more people to do more customizations to their cars too.

For anyone interested in making fins themselves, I posted the instructions for how I made mine at 8 ch in /diy/res/375.html to keep them available. I had never done anything like this before, which should also prove that welding and car-modding isn't as hard as most people think.

Post the close up pics again so we can laugh at you yet again.

Same reason he is installing an obnoxious exhaust tip. He is an autistic faggot who is looking for attention like every other person who rices their car.
I thought rice died years ago

Nobody has ever thought it was "hard"
Fuck, every 15-16 year old do it to their shitboxes. Everyone who sees them driving by know its a badge of being young and stupid.

What people usually do is just lowered suspension, skirts and a spoiler reather than anything altering the actual shape of the car. I haven't ever even seen a customized car body in real life before this, and what I find most baffling is how many people intentionally keep their cars as boring and stock as possible.

>>1411583
I just googled JOM tips and read about how the diameter of the exhaust pipe expanding towards the end may be harmful for performance. Is it still relevant this far at the end of the pipe?

>>1411584
Oh, I didn't know that. Where can you find the archived thread?

And hood scoops and bumpers and fender flares and all other types of body kits.

>reather than anything altering the actual shape of the car.
What exactly do you think those things listed above do?

Yeah, its passe' as fuck now. You are about 15-18 years too late.
Most people dont want to look like attention starved children
