So cool to see engineering to grab speed instead of just throwing dumb hp @ it.

cool thread with pictures and detail, wish i had your patients. nice work

Here's the video from the last race in 2012. The GoPro cam got fogged out for some da** reason and a fly got in the way, but at least it's something.

This was with a not that very great(!) some sort of labbed o/b 28 Bravo - lost a few mph, acceleration was about equal to none and the handling was terrible - but we did at least beat the other 24 Pantera/the only competitor in our class.

We were still rookies so we had to start from the back of the field because of the regulations.

Mocking up the "new" exhaust. I'm going to try the KE/PF headers instead of the CMI Sport tubes.

I'm making new end pipes instead of the shorter standard KE/PF ones.

My new race cover is finished, it took me a few ours with the sewing machine. It got better and tighter than I imagined from the beginning.

Why the exhaust change?

Need more power :D The KE/PF headers should make a bit more power than the CMI's.

That's interesting. I'm surprised.

The KE Exhaust flows like a CMI big tube full runer setup. Great stuff, just doesn't have the bling of poilshed stainless. Also doesn't crack and leak.

Do you have anything that verifies that or where did you get it from? :) I've heard similar stories but nothing verified.

The runner lengths are equal, or at least very close to. The CMI Sport tubes are a joke, the lengths are waaaay off of each other. With my new tail pipes they will flow even better.

I'm not looking for the bling factor and the KE/PF is a very cool looking header in my opinion. The downside is that they are a few Lbs heavier than the CMI's.
