Re: The Beast from the East

I'm not sure I would be comfortable with my exhaust running anywhere that close to my oil pan, to each thier own but that exhaust tube is going to be running extreme temp's right beside your engines life blood resevoir.

Also, your upper shock mounts! What is going on there? Are you planning on running it like that? Or is this just for mock up purposes?

I'm not concerned about it. I've seen many stock exhaust systems that run exactly the same way. Radiant heat is not nearly as bad as conduction. I could always add a heat shield if need be.

The shocks have been functioning that way for awhile now haha I know things look a little crazy, but there's a method to my madness.
I'm planning to slam this thing eventually, so I'll be welding and making things look better and permanent when the time comes.
