Sounds like you were happy with the results from your last effort, so
why would you want to deviate from proven success. Ten years ain't too
bad for a driver Vair with split dual exhaust! Now, if you only had it
out ten times in the last ten years, that might be a different matter.
If you want to spend less time on it, take it to a custom exhaust shop
and let them do the work and supply the parts; otherwise, it sounds like
you are stuck with the same program of using your time that you did ten
years ago. I sure don't know of any "quick and easy" instant Corvair
exhaust-in-a-box or aerosol spray-on. Your engine will align in the
body just enough different than mine to make custom adjustments a
requirement to get that "correct side discharge alignment" you desire.
Even oem factory exhaust didn't fit well without "adjustments" -- went
though several sets on a 140 Corsa back when this stuff was cheap and GM
was still 'making more'. Welding it up with a cross pipe helped hold
it all together.
Is anyone making a one piece cross pipe, dual muffler system (or just
the pipe) for the 140 manifolds? Matt?
