Man that all came together freaking outstanding!!!

Did just wrap and add heat sheilds to a aftermarket exhaust or are they custom (made by you or for you)? One of my favorite aspects of it

Designed and fabbed the complete exhaust. Wanted it to look similar to the p-40's with 6 pipes out each side. My solution was to have the holes in the heat shields emulate the other exhaust tips.

they are not connected nor is there a crossover tube. I have not noticed any significant loss in power(although I'm sure there is some). As far as length one is about 2' and the other about 3 1/2'. I had planned on putting a crossover in but it was just to tight when trying to fit them around everything(you couldn't bolt them up).

You did a great job man, everything turned out great. The artwork on the tank is something that belongs on a wall. Im very impressed and that doesnt happen too often.
