I've got both the Port and STBD exhaust collectors. I'm going to take them to the shop in the morning and have a qualified welder finish them up.

Well here is the STBD exhaust collector. I will take it to the shop on Monday and have a welder with tallent finish tig weld the both of them. I will fit up the Port side tomorrow.

Check out the collectors. I'm going to tack the pipes together this weekend, tig weld them out and tumble them in ceramic media.

Check out the tube angle cutter I made to get all the angles just so. It has removable seats so I can change the pipe size as long as it is bent on a 6" r. It works well and took about 2 hours to cut all the angles.

I'm pumped up today! I got all of my SS elbows for my 2 -1 collectors. I laid them out in autocad and am going to cut them all up this weekend and build them next week. I will add the progress photo's

I've been waiting for this day for quite some time. I had a crane in this morning. It took about 45 minutes to get them from the dollies to the mounts. A bit of adjustment to center onto the shafts and I'll lock them down.
I'm hoping to fire them off in the next couple weeks.

Please write me a comment if you have one.

Putting the engines in next weekend.

So here is my bulge ventilation set up. The aft vent is flex from the fan to the bulge. The forward vent is ran through this plastic drain pipe. The stainless steel brackets secure the pipe and the flex fits into the elbows and is held in by the wire in the flex.
