Making My Own Exhaust...

Hey all,

I'm making a full 3" exhaust for our Stagea and was wondering how many 180deg mandrel bends and straight pipe other people have used?

I'm doing it out of ally coated mild steel (I don't bother with stainless - personal preference), and starting with a new dump pipe (either split type or bell mouth).

No arguments with the whole mild vs stainless, just need to know material demands!

Cheers, Greg.

from memory, you'll need straight pipe only...The stagea exhaust system is fairly straight and has minimal to no bends at all.

what other parts of the exhaust do you have

I'm considering doing this myself...do you have any other parts other than the dump pipe

a picture tells a thousand words they say. i am not sure if that helps or not.

ps. mild steel sounds the best anyway.

it has changed a bit from what went on originally. the rear muffler is an X-force twin exit thing as it was cheap (ie 2nd hand and stealthy). the cat was changed to a 5" bodied catco.

the rest was made up by a local exhaust shop but later modified by richard (in the pic from uniqueautosports former brad jones racing guy i believe) due to the exhaust hanging too low.

so its a bitza.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
