Aluminum exhaust manifolds

[jtybt]

I guess my photobucket links got changed around so I'll re-post them

[Oleg]

I will post a link to a boating site with the pixs. I hope it ain't against forum rules.

Hello Charlie

nice work !!!

Hey Oleg, Called today but you were out. I got questions about generators.

What would be needed to run my 225LX and a power plasma 50 and do you have a generator that can be run of the diesel motor in a truck?

Oh! That was my first project trying aluminum. Works great.

hey there i just made 2 exhaust tips for my f30 trojan sportfisher with my 200lx and powerplasma50 and plan on doing ss water jacketed manifolds for my 2 chrysler 318 225 hp fresh water cooled engines and i got a pair of headers and will try figure a way to do it any suggestions would be great

Those tips look identical to mine 'cept I put flappers on.

I added a pix of my risers/water jacketed exhaust system when I had to open the mounting holes a little.

My next project on the exhaust will be the exhaust manifolds. I'm thinking of trying to find SS exhaust headers pre-assembled so I can make the water jackets. Gonna have to modify things as I go along. Probably won't start that project this season. Need some water time.

im looking at making some thing similar to these at hitek marine headers for my engines and have you taken a look at these and the video i think they r great and that way i can elimate these buldgy wet mufflers

I think HiTek manifolds are great ideas. I talked to them a lot. In the end, I figured I could make them for less and stop the water reversion I was getting.

Also, I ended up making 3 different exhaust risers/exhaust systems. One problem was noise and no help from water reversion with an 'add-on' to the stock riser. That's when I started making full water jacketed riser and baffeling system. So far, so good. The only water getting in the manifolds are condensation...which can't be stopped. It's just a natural result of cooling.

Let me know if you find a nice set of short SS headers for small-block chevys?

...either that, or I gotta buy a tubing bender...which I'm considering.

noise doesnt bother me but excites me since im deaf just like my harley with drag pipes and ss super carb and i got 2 sets of headers from older model engines and will use them and my bender to make header system going up like hi tek then going down at a 110 degree angle straight out to the tips with flappers so the only problem ill have is the condestation inside the system between the headers and the flappers but thats better than every thing else dont you agree let me know what you think
