EP. 9 - CRAZY CUSTOM 3 IN TO 6 AIRPLANE EXHAUST | Radial Airplane Motor Volkswagen. 

Work of art Jordan.Well done!!

That is a work of art! Tremendous amount of patient thinking went into the making of the exhaust.... and it shows. 😁 I can't wait to hear it!

This is a sexy piece of art and you are killing it. For what it’s worth I’ve seen Brent at Halfass Customs use a zip-cut on the inside of the radius to cut a series of slices about 80 or 90 percent of the way to the outside of the radius while leaving the outside. He then simply bends the pipe into the curve he wants and makes more slices if he wants a tighter curve. It looked like a great idea and you may see if it would help. Greetings from cold snowy Edmonton.

Hey Jordan, only got one word for your exhaust system...ELEGANT! I can hardly wait for next week, seeing your masterpiece mounted in the Flyer!

Headers are work of art! Looks like it would have been easier to plumb a house! Take care!

The 1948 Tucker also had 6 exhaust tips exiting out under the rear bumper.

i really like to watch this pure for the creative solutions make or create on tools parts and sorts. And see you struggle with thoughts LOL i know the feeling.

Jordan, Thanks for the video and the reality of the struggle. I'm sure that many of us who watch don't have the skill you have, but we definately relate to the "little" things that don't go as planned. Nice to see some of the "what the fuck am I going to do here" moments that most seem afraid to show. I don't normally comment on videos but this was one that one that many will see inspiration in. Keep them coming 👍

Fabricating tricky bends in 3d from a none magnetic material? Guess you like a challenge. Looks great. If you can't get on with a grinder guard, at least use a face shield. A lot of energy when they go.

I like the use of digital angle indicator, very clever.☺️

there are a lot of videos on pie cutting tubing to achieve different bend rad. I think the fabrication series? had one

Wow, that's an exhaust system that's worth a few thousand dollars.

That looks great, you are talented

I watched the restoration saw that and I was so impressed by the excellent detail made for the refrigerator lol I watched it and was amazed

I trimmed the guard on my grinder, took a good 3 inches off, and it rarely ever gets in the way now. It not only protects your hands , but also your eyes, if you keep your head on the guard side , not the open side.

😮 looks really good

That is a lot of great work. Keep it up. I am working on my track /lakes roadster. Picx to follow soon , I hope

Hey Jordan, that engine is a work of art and too darn sexy to hide way in the guts of a van. You certainly are a talented creative young man. If only I had the manual stability to TIG like that! I have played with heavier metal to make some of my own tractor implements. Drawing the curve for the arc that you need could be done with a compass. Draw it on a bit of board then pie cut on the inside of the curve, but not all the way through. It may give you that smoother curve on the outer edge.

Mate! I feel ya struggle on that one 😂 love ya work

Can't wait to hear it.

A truly refined and difficult job... Truly beautiful, top! 👌😃

When I work on stainless exhaust I have clamped on mild steel to hold the digital angle finder. I use pie cuts for tight radius bends , spreading the radius over 2 or 3 pie cuts spreads out the peaking. You have done a fantastic job. Love watching your channel. Vern from western Canada.

Thats going to be one loud Kombi

Lovely work!

I used to repair saxophones. I had a stake that you could screw on different size balls onto. One end had a gradual curved end . So one could feed it in to the instrument. Then you can hammer down the peak.This would help you with your peak issue.

well done! 🤘

A work of art for sure, your talent is outstanding and you smash everything, a joy to share and comment on the excellence

Thats just stunning Jordan, beautiful work man, having been in the exhaust business for over 25 years I can definitely appreciate a very well designed and executed exhaust system and can certainly all the work you’ve put into that! Nicely done!

Looks very nice Jordan

Hey Jordan. Wasn’t trying to bust your balls with the safety comment in the last episode. It’s you see things in a different way when you get a little older. I put a drill in my knee when I was younger and put in reverse and pull it out still have the hole there. I think your right a nice tight curve would been cool but the sliver angles worked out fine. See lots of motor bike exhausts made that way. Any way take care and all the very best wishes to you your family and friends. Tim.

Nice work looks good

Exhaust looks great but so did the 32 radiator on the wall. Very artistic 😜 Will the pipes running so close over the heads create heat issues

That came out amazingly well. I could tell in the video that it took a lot of time and that one bend was frustrating. In the end you truly created a piece of art. I had to wonder why you didn't sand bend it like you did on the race car.

3 cylinders and 3-into-6 unequal length headers? That is going to be the weirdest/coolest sounding thing ever...

The company is called ICE Engineworks. They are in California USA.

I 3d printed my own exhaust header mockup blocks . I made them all 22.5 degrees with incremental notches as well as 50mm straight pieces, they can be made on a cheap 3d printer. I can send you the file if you want to 3d print your own set

objective achieved ! 👍🏼 going with the airplane scheme , would of been nice for the exhaust exiting through the bumper.

Great stuff, always impressed with your work. I've used Chinese stainless steel sanitary ware bends when I've needed a tight radius for manifolds. Worth a look, perhaps?

If you tightly pack the pipe with dry sand , heat pipe ,it should bend without kicking or wrinkling.

Hey mate, why didn't you cut the part where it divides at a tighter angle, to give you more space to the mounting plate? Seems like you fought this a heap! Part of the process. Looks amazing.

I haven’t finished watching the video and you may have already thought of this. Could you have cut a short piece of steel exhaust tube, attach it to the stainless with one of your tacking clamps and then it would be magnetic so your angle gauge would stick

Nice SS work. Very custom.

Soo good

You need bends with a smaller CLR - center line radius. Unless you want to pie cut the whole bend, using the bends you have won't work for a smooth transition

Hi mate, have you searched for stainless steel exhaust doughnuts, they have a real tight radius?

Nice Video. I finished your last Video, I had to go back and finish this one. #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸

One should try and avoid using bolts in aluminium, studs are a more permanent solution because you aren't "working" the thread whereas every time you replace the bolts

Dude Karl told me to come here 😁 so i have subscribed , what a engine bud is it a one off ? or what is it out of ? Awesome project 😁😁🤘🤘🇹🇭🇹🇭

Looks amazing, proper craftsmanship 🍻 Can you get the plugs out without taking the exhaust apart ?

Header modeling blocks aren’t cheap

A donut is good for tight radius.

I've been watching this build from the start and early in this episode is the first time I thought to myself, "wheres the muffler". But I have to say my biggest fear if doing this would be all the work put in to it and there's always the chance it's going to sound like crap. Back in the 70's a friend made dual exhaust straight pipes out of a 4 banger. I can't begin to tell you how horrible it sounded. But what ever it sounds like, it's got enough cool factor from the looks to make up for it if needed.

wow, nice looking setup. how does it cool? is there a fan and shroud setup needed?

👍🏼👍🏼

Is there a reason that you aren't jacking it up and down to improve access?

Is the length of each pipe important , or not???

A few years ago they invented something called a "muffler system" .

IcengineWorks for the clicky exhaust mock up blocks. what do you rekon to sand bending tube that size/radius? even if just to make sections you can take pie cuts from?

Is the engine fuel injected ? If so it needs O2 sensors.? 🤷‍♂️

Theire so close to the cilinder heads that, maybe, you will have to think carefully in a nice cooling sistem

You should reverse the colours on the Van, put the heavy colour on the bottom.

Truly art of work but a little bit boring. Over half hour for one pipe and that’s just this video. I love your videos and you are great for teaching what you are doing.

ICE engineering

Where are you from? I only hear your Australian accent in certain words.

🚐🚐🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩

U know us colored guys are watching too.....

Has he been calling it “the commie van”?

You can seek perfection but miss the objective. Get it done. Wasted a lot of time unnecessarily. It was good before you wanted perfection.

Interesting build the 3 into 6 idea is a bit over the top to be frank simple is always better. 3 pipes would be a big enough challenge the extra 3 give no advantage other than aesthetic. In my opinion unnecessary .

The struggle, is real.🤼‍♀
