How about Carb Covers and a Kart Kape, err' Cover ? RE: build your own expansion chamber!! plus adjustable header design - doug tenney - 11-15-2017 I'd say, don't make the covers look overly "precious." Otherwise... reminds me of friends who put cute sweaters on their dogs. I tell them, "No wonder he looks so sad. How would you like it if all the other dogs made fun of YOU?" Hmmm. West Bend heads attach with EIGHT 1/4-20's. Mac's have six #10-24's. Power Products, now that's a different story! RE: build your own expansion chamber!! plus adjustable header design - David Luciani - 11-15-2017 ok back to the thread and it's original intent. i posted more pix back a page or so showing the jig items and pix i lacked. heres another comment from builder. Quote:Hi David, RE: build your own expansion chamber!! plus adjustable header design - doug tenney - 11-16-2017 A lot of great insight and nicely written. Thanks for sharing with us. ...and only 10 lbs ain't too bad I'd say. RE: build your own expansion chamber!! plus adjustable header design - Richard Stamile - 11-16-2017 How do the original 2 shoe max torque clutches work with this type of exhaust did they run that type during 60s when all the experimenting was on going ?? when i had a wb 580 in the day it had one of the aluminum horns it was loud and much faster then the Clinton motor that i had before, as a kid i was told its to noisy so i went to the local Karts & Parts shop the owner sold me a can looked like a flask so i put this on and it was so slow and i was not happy at all , being new i would not mind more discussion on this i am guessing you can have power and quiet but you can't have both and the clutch you are running has to be compatible with the engine rev power curve and different exhaust systems have varying effects on the engine |
