After welding up the under the not-exactly an axle pipes I moved onto the whole other reason this exhaust was built to be modular. The ability to drop even more weight for the drag strip: Turn downs!
Ironically I killed my last 180° bend which would have been perfect for this. Instead I worked with what I had left. Maths and lasers!
Nope.
Yup.
Anyone want a chrome saddle?
From there it was just a matter of mock up, tack welding (and fouling a lot of tungsten), and burning them in. The aluminum v-bands seem to have a lot of trash cast into them. Made it a bit of a nightmare honestly.
For those keeping score at home (I believe race weight is 20ish lbs):
Close enough for the girls I go out with.
I need to add another hanger under the x-pipe to better support the exhaust in the event it heats up and sags/distorts.
