just a little bit dave just a little bit

did a little to the exhaust today ,its great to be back at the rod .

as you can see from the last photo the exhaust pipe is within 2 3/8 in of the petrol pipe .how close is too close.if i reroute .the pipe to the top inside of the frame it will still run close to the headers what do you guys do

You could use a heat shield from stalnless or aluminum to separate the two.

Mine is not much to further distant and have so far not had a bit of trouble. I figure that the gas(petrol) is going through it so fast when I have my foot planted to the floor it can't vapor lock

a heat deflector IS on the 'to-do' list though.

was considering heat shield and heat wrapping the petrol and exhaust pipes still seems a bit close.how close are your exhaust to the petrol pipes.

Pictures are always better then jacking it up crawling under with a scale. It's the larger, the smaller is a brake line. The photo is before I added the 'H' pipe so the mufflers are about 6" +/- further back
