180 degree exhaust

If u look TECHNICAL INQUIRIES, page 13 under ALAN B's posting "180 DEGREE EXHAUSTS", on page 3 and 4, of his posting, there are several pics of the my old Hall 180 Degree system plus Hall's intake with Weber IDA's. The sound this set-up makes is indiscribable. Jack de Ryke says its adictive. i agree totaly. Wicked.
This Hall setup exits out the orginal body exht. outlets, but at an angle, as u will see on the pics. 2x small holes are cut. And since I dont run the AC rad., over the rear outlet, the open grill shows off the interior of car & the back of the ZF...... See what u think...

Good luck & have fun,... thats the main thang. Lets us no how u went.. Cheers, tai
I have run this system for 7 years without any problems. No burnt paint etc., no hassles. I have tried to replicate what the factory did with thier GRP.4's, sticking to the 351C heavy castiron blk & hds. along with a AQUASUMP oil- pressurized system and full Fire supression setup ; ( 3x point - front , cockpit & motor compartment.) but also just gone on a Weighless course.:- Carbon rear decklid with vents, Carbon frt. bonnet / hood with updated Gt5 vents,( shaped better for air extraction ), The fine Headlite Conversion by maestro GORAN, seen in new P. I. Newsletter, ( which by the way has to be the best Car Newsletter / mag./ Website i have seen anywhere in the world. )
This mod alone not only fixes all the headlite problems as well as looking fanstastic, super efficent and best of all, saves 21lbs.( See Newsletter. ) This plus the carbon inner door panels, losing the center dash consol, window glass, heater, air conditioner, plus lightweight racing wheels, - ( not all that heavy unsprung-weight 17 / 18inch monsters one sees...) etc. All add up to...... Read GORAN'S article . Awesome !

I have a set of custom 180 degree headers and mufflers for sale. I can send you pictures if you are interested. I am not going to use them in my car, but the few things I know need to be changed are: remove decklid struts and their lower mounting brackets, relocate the swirl tank to the overflow location, relocate the over flow tank to the charcoal canister location-if you have one, fabricate heat shields of some type to protect the underside of your decklid. The system I have includes the rear panel cut out for two 3" pipes and a support bracket that bolts to the ZF. There may be more that needs to finish up but these are the big points. Others may chime in with more detail.

Email me if you want pictures of the system.

Hi Dave.
I wrote u a posting a couple of days ago re. ur ?'s. But it seems to have disappeared into the 'electronic ether'.
Briefly ; I have been running a Hall P. 180 degree system for 6 years now along with Hall's inlet and a set of 48 IDA Webers.( ..now avilable again, the carbs... ) No problems to speak of, am using the big 'Bunny ears' scoops for the carbs.( Also helps 'push' air down- wards & out the bottom of the car & thru the open A/C grill opening, reverseing the air flow which is good for everything of course. ) Also Aquasump oil preserized system for the dreaded oil-surge prob.( This is now my 3rd motor going in.... )
If ur interested, look on this forum Techn. Inquires on page 13 under "180 Degree Exhausts" by ALAN B, on page 3 of his posting , - u'll find my postings.
I am at present taking the 'Mad Sweeede' GORAN 's great advice and am on a mad weight- loss regime: Frt. pop-up, useless, heavy lites gone with acrilic covers fitted, window glass gone, door pannels, Carbon Fibre body pannels, heater out, A/C out., Center intrument consol out, etc... Read GORANS article in new very excllent, world class top Newsletter from these very fine P. I. people........
Let me no how u are going on this. I love it. U wont believe the sound this set up makes. Jack 'dela Rich' says its adictive. It is.
Talk to me...for any other info i can offer up

Mark,
Hear are a couple pics I attached.
They are getting aluma coated now will have car done for vegas,which will include webers, and Nitrous. YeHaa

Next picture of 180's

With these you can get the valve covers off aswell.
See ya in VEGAS

those are for the windsor motor. The pipes I got from them are the Hall 180s. I don't think they have any other options for the 351c. Make sure you know what type you are purchasing when you place your order. The pictures on the site do not represent the actual product you will see in the crate.

The product is great. Pics can be seen at www.jacobsracing.com/headers

I got them back from the coater today and they look great.

Whoa Dennis!

Park next to me in Vegas and let's start them sumbiches at the same time and give 'em a little music from the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.

I just drove the car for the 1st time in months. New pipes completed. Here are some shots from yesterdays efforts. Now off to coaters for some jet hot.....
