March 28, 2008 - Install Exhaust

 The Vetterman Exhaust kit is part of the Van's firewall forward kit.

There are no drawings that show the installation, but the tubes are numbered by Cylinder so it's not too hard to figure out.  And they fit a certain way -- I don't believe you could do it wrong. 

This is a shot of the left side.

 
And the right. 
 
This is the kit for the aft exhaust pipes.  It did come with diagrams, plus all the requisite nuts, bolts, washers, hose clamps, springs, etc.
 
The exhaust pipe clamps to the main exhaust assembly with this spring assembly deal. 
 
 LIke so.  I guess the idea behind the springs is so things aren't so rigid.  The engine is moving around so the exhaust has to be flexible too.
 
 Both exhaust pipes are on, facing aft.  The next step is to make the "hanging" braces. 
 
 Those are going to be tough because there is not a lot of real estate in there.
