Thread: Exhaust to Stainless or not

My exhaust system is much like the others, nothing special. Shorty headers, going to 2 1/2" mild steel u-bends tig'd together, a X pipe under the output shaft made out of two 90 degree bends, and some Magnaflow mufflers connected with V-bands. It runs over the axle and out around the gas tank extending all the way to the rear of the frame ends.
I made my hangers and mounts so that they are free to float allowing front to back movement but no side to side movement. I was shocked at the amount that the exhaust system grows in length with temperature. Cold my pipes end 1/4" before the frame caps, and after it's driven they are 1/4" past the end of the frame caps, a full 1/2" of growth. I think you would want to allow some expansion movement so you system is not trying to break apart with the expansion heat cycles.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
