Eagle Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 It may boost your horsepower but I'd bet the ranch you won't like what it does to your torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have to admit I'd never even thought about using that flexible exhaust tubing to make a header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have to admit I'd never even thought about using that flexible exhaust tubing to make a header. I'm using larger dryer vent for the exhaust all the way to the back. I will seal up the collector with foil tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
project88mj Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 think just a second the temp of the gasses coming out of the head are really hot you think that the flex tube can hold that heat if it can when it cools backdown will crack? cause metel expands when it gets hot. when it cool it shinks back down with all those little bends...... and that can't be really smooth on the in side like it needs to be ? keep us up dated i want to know how it works after a month or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XJGPER Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 WOW! That is some ingenuity. I hope tape is gonna seal them holes... I'de header wrap the f*C# out of it just to be on the safe side Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'de header wrap the f*C# out of it just to be on the safe side Dave So maybe like a lot of tape? Maybe wrap like 3 rolls of duck tape around it after the foil tape? Or should I just go all out and use a bunch of JB weld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 IMO, 4 cyl Jeep + performance is just an oxymoron. Especially if you are Renix. I wouldn't even go any further with that project. Sorry to be negative, but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Wow.. I have never seen that done before :eek: I think you are foing to run into exhaust leak issues, as well as craking as it heats and cools. Maybe after you get it mocked into place, and where you want it, you can lock in the way, and make a real header using the correct material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaekl Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Who said it was for exhaust? Obviously this guy likes to build questionable things. Perhaps he wants to turn his V8 into a water pump. One bank would be the engine and the other the pump. Let's see the split intake manifold. He probably needs that much water to put out his house that's on fire. Don't jump to conclusions. Maybe the dryer vent is the clue. Perhaps he likes his clothes to have that burnt gasoline smell with a cat of course. Or on the Darwin line he may be thinking about assisting a group CO thing.

Course, I would have hoped that by now I displayed a level of technical competency that would make you realize it was a joke - and moreover, not me who made that.

Never even looked at the original poster Sam.
