thats a nice system what thickness are the flanges that you use to bolt the sections together ,what are you using for gaskets between flanges

Lately I've gone to using the stainless 6" flex tube behind the collectors then mount the exhaust solid.....works great IF you have engine and tranny mounts that don't allow a lot of movement as the hangers need nothing more then a small mount and a a bit of rubber to absorb some vibration....I mounted the pipes solid on the Plymouth I'm building now.....

I built a 2 1/2" "X-Pipe" system that runs all the way to the end of the frame horns on my roadster. It's ceramic coated, and mild steel.

What I found interesting was how long it grows in lenght from cold start-up to hot operating temperature. The tubular exhaust hangers are made to allow free "front to back" movement. The system grows almost 1/2" as it gets up to temperature.

If I were to do it over I would build with Stainless tubing next time. By the time you get the mild steel system ceramic coated, the cost "is a push", with stainless steel.
