It is indeed Norm, the cleaner and faster the gasses can get away from the engine the better
It will look a lot better once the welds are ground down and it's all been wrapped in heat proof tape sort of stuff
The solution to joing the two bit's of pipe together was this ear trumpet shaped bit of pipe.
It's a tight fit around the transfer box, a very thick ally heat shield will be going between the exhaust and the black electrical gizmo with the word up, upside down.. Don't want to melt it!
Apart from grinding down lot's of welds that's the exhaust system done
Next on the hit list to sort is the shifter for the transfer box..
It needs to go somewhere around here, also the bracket looks really ugly so a new one is being made..
The fun bit is going to be making the rods that connect it to the transfer box, but luck might be on my side as I found an easy route through the frame, above the carbs that will require minimal bends to the rods..
Oh, a scrap pile raid produced all the rods I could need
To finish off this update have a moody smokey picture of the MadTrax
