Re: Heartthrob Exhaust Clearance

Wow. Sorry I havent updated this thread. Need to add to my build as well.

So after about ~25 hours of work I finally have the exhaust done. I had some other troubles unrelated to the kit but that only accounted for about 3 hours or so.

In the end, i had to cut off where the pipes exit and just dump behind the rear axle. i could not get all the components to align in such a way that the pipes came out straight.

The drivers side hangs about 2 inches lower than the passenger side. On the passenger side, the clearance between the down pipe, starter and one of the hard brake lines is so close I am actually a little worried. I may have to take the pipe out again and bang a big ol' dent in it to give me more brake line clearance.

Here is a shot showing how far the driver side hangs down compared to the passenger. this is with the heat riser valve removed.





More pics. What do yall think? There is about a half inch or so between the pipe and the brake line. And maybe a little less with the starter.

here are a couple pic of the brake line clearance from a couple angles.







And here is one really bad one of the starter clearance. The starter is the black thing on the left.
