I am about to put a SBC in my fj45. Just wondering of those who have done this how many have run ramhorns of newer exhausts mans? I have both and am just wondering which are the easiest to run exhausts with.

 

[peesalot]

use the ramhorns . search under Texican and crossover pipe and you will get part numbers.

 

[orangefj45]

ramhorns for sure. you gonna have it done in time for the 45 run this year.

Texican seems to be running the 2" dump rams horn, what are the guys with the 2 1/2" dumps running? Anyone got any stock part #s?
I wonder if these new computer programable benders can run the bends on 2.5" tubing in stead of the 2".

 

[orangefj45]

the 2.5s are much harder to find and more expensive. ebay.

are you talking manifolds or cross overs? I already own the 2.5" manifolds...

 

[orangefj45]

manifolds

 

[FJ_Dave]

Georg,
Did you find the manifold you were looking for?

 

[Rat70FJ]

Dave,
Casper's in Diamond Springs did a georgeous 2 into1 on my ramshorns for $450. Not cheap but done, clean, warranteed, sounds and works great................. And Casper and Roggy are Original Pirates.

Cool, I'm still a month or so away from needing exaust, but thats good to know.

Just had my exhaust done at Donny's gargage here in Elk Grove, they did a sweet job. 2" crossover then into 3" all the way out. About the same price. Only issue, I have to run a oil filter relocation kit.

 

[71fj40]

Here's another shot

 

[71fj40]

One more

 

[orangefj45]

somebody's gonna have hot feet!!!! looks like it turned out really nice jake. tucks up well also. :cool2:

 

[71fj40]

Yeah, may need some sort of heat shield eh.

 

[FJ_Dave]

Anybody have any luck with the header wrap insulation under the floor boards to reduce heat?

 

[Guppie]

header wrap works fairly well, be forewarned that it will cause the pipe to rust prematurely but oh well, I use it near my oil pan to keep the heat down and as well near the rear aux tank to reduce heat.

one more thing, buy the black type that you don't have to spray, has graphite in it and will cure first time after starting

[FJ_Dave]

Cool, thanks Guppie.

yep. i used the silver though and it's starting to come loose. no heat on the floor board though. ('till it unwraps far enough)
