So, I'm loving my newly acquired Savage 25 w/Dynamite Mach 28, but the exhaust dumping behind the front tire is really bothering me.
As you all know it's messy...
And it covers a larger amount of the rig than one would imagine....
I was thinking that it would be nice to put the pipe behind the rear bulkhead(diff housing), between the bulkhead and the rear bumper, to keep the exhaust in the way back where(I think) it should have been in the first place.
I'd like to route the exhaust either around the RR shocks and back, or straight through the bulkhead itself and turn down to meet the pipe.
In either case, it would be with the minimum of bends and least restriction in mind.
My series of questions are:
Has anyone made their own header?
I was wondering what the exhaust temps are at the exhaust port?
If they can use aluminum for headers would I have a melting problem if I used coiled copper pipe with plumber's solder(fairly high temp) to make a header?
Would copper or the plumber's solder have a reaction with the methanol, like they do with the coil of a glow plug?
I'm guessing I'd have somewhere near 5" to 6" of pipe at the most, would this create too much back pressure?
Or would changing the overall length of the exhaust effect the pipe's tune?
Thanks in advance!!!
