Checked bag right? The answer is some TSA agent remembered he had to change his oil this week and figured you wouldn't notice them missing for a while

14 had been present for every major mechanical failure throughout history. He always tries to save the day, but each time he finds its the reincarnated implementation of an air cooled VW engine that traveled back in time for some reason.

Dave! The man they call Dave! He turned every wrench and built Sims a truck Stood up to the wind and din't give a gently caress Our love for him now, weren't hardly foreseen, The hero of AI, the man they call 14! Now Dave saw the split rim wheels loomin' He saw Sims' pending regret And Danno and Dave was a-roomin' While Dave's quail egg farts sounded wet. Dave said "These aren't the worst of my quagmires. I'll swap engine, and wiring, and those tires." He put on his Carhartts and ripped out some huge farts Then built poo poo, and set several fires. He pulled poo poo from cars in Dan's yard for the truck, slogged through the build while all covered in muck. Our love for him now, weren't hardly foreseen, The hero of AI, the man they call 14! Now here is what separates heroes from common folk like you and I. The man they call Dave, with a rant and a rave, made that 350 roar second try. He dropped it into the dumptruck. He dropped it into the field. The man they call Dave, he was awesome and brave, and his effort paid off massive yield! Here we go! Dave! The man they call Dave! He turned every wrench and built Sims a truck Stood up to the wind and din't give a gently caress Our love for him now, weren't hardly foreseen, The hero of AI, the man they call 14!

Anyways, more than a few goons have asked me if they can get their black-thumbed mitts on that ghost pepper sauce 14's been chugging. Sadly, no, that was the last of the 2016 run. But I did still have some habanero puree from this season, and, well, this just happened  (Carrots are the usual base for habanero sauce, but after staring at the word so long while futzing with the label, all I see is Car Rot. So I guess it's still pretty AI) JacquelineDempsey fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Jan 2, 2017 |

Well, it seems that at long last, the sister threads have become separate....For now. Perhaps one day again the Nu-Beetle will be making an appearance in the wastes. Given how the vehicle Dave took out there ended up, I think that would be a merciful end for that thing. But anyways, back to the truck. I've been trying to sit down and plan out the best way to run an exhaust on this thing. So, far, after extensive browsing of the Summit website, I think I've come up with a pretty simple plan. Originally I wanted to try and go up and over the engine into one pipe, but due to the way the passenger manifold sits, with it's angled outlet, I don't think that's gonna work. The other option here is to get some rams horn manifolds, and run those upside down, but I think I'd run into clearance issues with the hood going that route. So, I'm thinking instead, what I'll do, is buy some of these: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-12061 And just go down, 90 over and just run two exhausts. Parts seem to be cheap enough, and I'm pretty sure I get the local machinist to weld it up nicely. So, so far what I'm thinking I'll need are: Pipe: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-49008 U Bends: AS SEEN ABOVE Mufflers X2: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-17889 Connectors/clamps?: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-41957 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aph-as212 Bends: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-670178 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sch-2545 I've never actually built my own exhaust before, but hey, I run refrigerant lines for a living, so it's pretty similar right? The only thing I'm not sure on is what to do with the passenger side. I'm pretty sure I've got enough room to do a U and down there, but I'm not sure if it's an exact 45* angle, so I'm wondering if I should buy a Flex piece as well? Not that it has to be perfect, just straight enough not to drag and long enough to exit under the cab. Of course, we still have the original issue of the brake pedal hitting said manifold too. But, according to Dave, we should be able to grind the end of it down to get some clearance. The oldtimers over at Stovebolt seem to say this as well, so I think we'll be sticking with the van's manifolds.

You can buy flexible metal exhaust hose which you just slide over normal pipe and clamp. Since this only has to last for a short time then why not use that to get from the manifolds 14 fitted down to a solid Y or T section and then a silencer. Hang it using exhaust clamps and perforated strip brackets. Easy to build while lying in a field in Nebraska... I ran a complete exhaust made from the flexy stuff on my landrover for about 5 years. Bits would rot out every 6-12 months and I would just cut them out and join/replace Edit - like this http://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/flexible-exhaust-pipe-38mm Doesn't need welding. Buy an I/D that fits over the O/D of the pipes you are working to. Tomarse fucked around with this message at 01:21 on Jan 3, 2017 |

ExplodingSims posted:Huh. Like I said, Never done exhaust stuff much before. Easy is what you want! is 2 mufflers gonna be easier than a Y section to join both sides?. Are there any convenient outriggers or bits of chassis you could hang mufflers from to side exit just behind the cab? Remember that you need to be careful to work with compatible I/D and O/D of pipes or buy any appropriate reducer sections. You want to push the flex pipe over the parts you have or add in.
