In the mid January I started working on the exhaust.

Bought a pile of stainless steel 90 degree tubebends.

40mm OD and 37mm ID.



Had earlier bought a set of lasercut flanges:



The started to make my own exhaust.

Finding shorter exhaust studs was not the easiest task... They were M9 in the heads and M8 at the flanges...

So my Brother make me a set.



Here the first part of the exhaust is finished in mid February.





As you see in the last picture I also had plans on teststarting the engine with carbs first as I had a set of Type-3 carbs laying around.

Mid march I myself out to the garage again with new welding gas. 8)
As I was out pretty late I didn't take the time to finish off all welds but had to leave them as in the pictures. You start to see the finished product though.

Mid April:

Finally got myself to the garage again after a few weeks off due to becoming a dad once again April 7th.

Tied some fine stainless steel mesh around the perforated tubes.



Then started filling it with bike muffler glasswool.



Needed some bickering before I got all the fibers on the inside of the muffler.



Then fully welded the first muffler.




View from the underside when mounted.

April 26th:
Finished the exhaust. Just one little seam I couldn't weld from the underside will be next time I go to the garage.

Now I just need to mount the cables so I can teststart the engine.
