Hope this helps. As you can see, there is plenty of room to move the collector angle up a few degrees( I'll say about 10*) to give more ground clearance. Also, the muffler could be angled up and rotated on its axis a few degrees, and give even more clearance, without sacrificing power, or design.

ALso notice the sanding done to clear pipes, and make them able to slide in their corresponding bores.

P.S. Jake, maybe you can tell Tiger.

P.S.S The oil is WD-40 I used to clean the pipes

What have you done with your old system? I'm interested, and local - Gaithersburg.

I have it in the kitchen. I was going to clean it up, paint it and sale it all.



Ephry

Forgot to ask - square or oval port?

Oval. The head pipes are quite nice actually, since they use stock flanges, which in my opinion offer the best sealing possible. I was not going to get rid of those, but I have too many parts at home, waiting to get sold. Anything else you may need?

Ephry73,

It looks great. Can't wait to get the engine kit and exhaust installed in my ghia.

Do you happen to have a photo of the back end of your ghia with the new exhaust installed similar to picture 3 on your your Yahoo photos? I'd love to see a photo if you have one.

Thanks,

Jim

You mean like a zoom out shot? I can get one by tomorrow. I need to go to get an apraisal on rust repair for the car. Where my car is parked now I cannot get too far, or get good light. I will definitely get that done tomorrow. There's good ground clearance for sure. Like I said, for us Ghia owners, a different collector pitch and muffler angle will be incredibly better. Also, the muffle rpipe sticks back considerably, a la Cal-look. keep your rear bumper, and you'll be fine.

Rats - I have square ports.

Basically, I need everything from the head on out. For that matter, I need a bunch of other stuff as well, but I'm just cherry picking now.

I have a bunch of oval port heads you can use( two actually) in the two litter range.

Hey Ephry
Would take a rought measurement. if you have the time, from the pulley out to the collector? I'm putting mine in a Splitwindow Bus and have been wonder how far out pass the bumper it's going to stick.

Dave

I will try to get the measurements s follows(remember, the system is installed in a Ghia)

-From collecto merge to collector opening
-Between pulley and collector merge
-from collector merge to first radial bend of muffler pipe


Hope that helps ya.

Pics I'm still trying to get



Ephry

That would be great

Have time for the measurements?

Sorry about the late response. I have been busy and have not been able to get the measurements yet. I will post them tomorrow.



Ephry

Ok, here are the numbers. Sorry about the delay. It's been one of those weeks.

from collector bend, to collector opening, 10.25"
from collector merge, to radial bend of muffler pipe, 16.5"
from pulley/crank bolt centerline, to top of collector, 3.5"
from edge of case, just below the pulley, to collector merge, 3.5"
between the oil filter and the #3#4 pipes, 1.25"
