Subject: Ed Anderson's exhaust

What I was thinking is sort of similar with the following
exceptions- two
exhaust runners joining into one 31  inches back from the exhaust
ports,
using one of those stainless exhaust bellows to connect to the
perforated
pipe. The holes in the perforated pipe would be louvered to face
the rear by
putting a rod into them and bending them. That way they would
scoop into the
exhaust flow and scoop the flow out of the perforated pipe. The
perf pipe
would be surrounded by a 5" dia pipe that was open on both ends.
The forward
end could take air out of the engine compartment or the heated air
from the
radiator, if care was taken not to radiate heat from the exhaust
to the rad.

My  2 cents.

        The 5" pipe is not needed, and close up the end of the
perforated pipe, bend over and weld. Virg
