Quicky exhaust

**GTO** · 08-09-2008, 11:44 PM

Need a better exhaust for the atlas before painting the 2nd engine white (going with a briggs), In the passed I cut up some free bikes I got from CL and the tubing comes in handy for stock.

As you can see the tubing I'm using is already dilled and tapped for a water bottle. I'm using these holes for a mount and the other a screw for the muffler (so it can be changed)

I installed the muffler tight and drilled and tapped a hole in it so it wont turn or come loose.

Very fast, simple and clean, all I have to do now is make a bracket.

It sounds good, runs good, and doesn't piss off the neighbors.

As you can see, that one is a temp mat so I don't scrape the paint while screwing with engine #2. It's convayor belt rubber and very hard, my kid brought home a roll of it and it works great and I'll be using it alot.

I usually trace the engine and spray glue it to the engine so it's not seen and stays put for engine swaps.

Looks good, and it's good to know I'm not the only one who cuts up bike frames for later use.

I like it gto

, gives it a bone stock look.

......clean and simple.

Yeah Jim, I just wish they used #35 chain.

I have a nice aluminum bike with neat shocks up front too.

Delray, I started with a bent one but liked the straight pipe, it looks good from the others side and better when the engine is moved up, I also wanted it out of the way so it wouldn't burn anyone grabbing the seat or from the side.

The scrub and foot pegs belong with this engine,,,,anyone know why?

While your cutting up things look at Aluminum Bats differently The taper makes for great manifolds, Intake or Exhaust !

I use the high heat ceramic header paint @ 1300' (pray can). Works geat on all the ones I've done and no peeling. I bake it on by starting the engine when dry enough to touch and install.
