cool ,likeing the exhausts
i was going to say they looked like Dan's old ones ;-)up
Exhaust cans look to be almost vertical is there just enough angle at the top to protect from filling with rain and straight into head outlets??? bet they sound good, great pics keep them coming ;)
put the little flippy things on the ends like dave dreams...thatl do the job ;-)(-;
yea they are dans old ones as for the rain goin down there i have no idea think i better have words with mr peyto :'(
Never had any rain in there.
I guess if you plan on leaving it out in the rain then yes it will happen
But driving it, in the rain, the heat turns any water to steam instantly.
Fire it up and shoot a water pistol at it
ZIIIING !!

hope you liked
Looking good ;-)up Loving the wheels 8)
Same m8 love the wheels
all painted and done by my self your right tho they look smart i love em
looking good.
thats a mighty different exhaust but just an observation if you are going for HP from the motor the unequal length exhausts will slightly affect running/performance a crossover of 2 and 4 would give you 4 near equal length pipes and a better balanced engine.

if Dave cannot get some just do a web search just about any seal will do as long as it is not foam with open edges where the sponge effect will happen.
