Beelzedub, are you talking to meeee.......

I wish I could but there's no way at the moment. I shall do though, when I can  :) ;-)up

But, I will always champion this cause, as its one of the best deals imaginable! I know I am a mod here
and am not in any way promoting this stuff, good is just, good, in anyone's language.

You can put me down mike, can I have flanges rather than slip joints? Where do you want dep and how much dep would you like?

Am sorely tempted myself....very very tempted!!

I know I need a merged system, but I just love the look of the cannons, but Mike did I see that we could be waiting close to the end of the year for more bespoke systems?

Yippeee!

Thanks Mike for all this, am looking forward to getting it on Tuesday at work hopefully  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
and its going to be a shock to my system after so many years with cannons.

Maybe though in the future, when they are finished with at their new home, I might swap them back..

Yet another GREAT reason to go all stainless!  ;)

I just want to say.....

My Sidewinder exhaust arrived today, and in every department its a work of art.

Quality of everything is something that gets missed a lot nowaday's, the welding is unreal.... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And the hot air take of tube is just BRILLIANT  ;-)up

Thankyou Mike, I am completely STUNNED at the quality of this thing  :D :D :D :D

Here's a photo  :)

And thanks for the amazingly clever heat supply to my carb... Its Brilliant  ;-)up  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I will tidy it all up though.....  As the corrugated tube's a bit messy:D :D

Does that just slip over the exhaust pipe? How does it draw air through to heat up?
Title: Re: 5 off Sidewinder Exhaust Group buy part 2
Post by: BEELZEDUB on October 20, 2013, 05:04:19 PM
Shaggy i left it to Peter, but im sure he has put a hole in it above the bulged section. no doubt Peter will correct me.
Title: Re: 5 off Sidewinder Exhaust Group buy part 2
Post by: Peter on October 20, 2013, 05:17:22 PM
For now I have left it just as it is...... Because I have found that the 'Heat' in there
flows all the way up to the carb all by itself. Heat rises  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

And I am mixing the air in my filter cover with this stream of hot are thats rising. I put my hand up there today and the
corrugated pipe and filter cover were warm to touch, I may drill a couple of small holes in the bulged section at the 'bottom'
if I think the hot air that's in there and is rising could use some help, so far it hasn't needed it, though its not winter yet.

Remember, Its the HEAT I want, and mix it with the air 'up top' and so far its working brilliantly as is.

Having too large a hole or too many down the bottom only COOLS the hot air already in there....

This fitting Mike has made is a snug self supporting slide fit, the bulge in the middle means HEAT can warm the air
there and send itself upwards....
