an idea

unless someone has tried this and found it to cause problems, i think i know what i am going to do with the exhaust.<br /><br />my headers are extremely discolored and rusted while the already after market mufflers are shot. better headers are about $100 on evilbay, mufflers can set you back double that.<br /><br />so, i decided to completely cover up the exhaust headers with wrap.<br /><br />http://www.sesametech.com/autorv.htm#hw<br /><br />i can get the stainless steel wrap ties from eastwood<br /><br />http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/search/<br />searchresultsmain.jsp?iMainCat=0&amp;iSubCat=0&amp;page<br />=2&amp;searchType=advanced&amp;keyword=WRAP&amp;attribute14<br />=&amp;attribute15=&amp;attribute16=<br /><br />i will of course lie to my harley riding acquaintances and say this is how ole skool Honda riders attempted to boost horsepower and performance.<br /><br />for the authentic ole skool look i think i will find some fishtail mufflers on Evilbay or JCWhitney, then figure out a way to mount them.<br /><br />it probably will not be optimum performance, but might look cool

the wrap to cover the exhaust headers cost like $1.50/ft, i had to order it from a company in Penn. i got 12ft of aluminum colored.<br /><br />the fishtail mufflers showed up today.<br /><br />http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... WN%3AIT<br /><br />just slid on the headers, and a bad really bad pic, but here it is.<br /><br /><br />and no, they aren't bent the wrong way or anything, i will have to tighten down the joint add a brace to the old bracket, and perhaps weld solid into place. but they look cool.
