DIY heat management

[xrtim]

Restarted work on the Ultima, lots to do, I’ve decided to have a go at the exhaust heat management, just finished the cat and a bit of the muffler end caps. It can see why its so expensive to have done as it’s very time consuming, the good news is that the materials and tools are readily available, I’ve definitely purchased a more powerful spot welder than needed but really happy with the results. I’ll post more pictures as I get further along.
Hope it’s of interest.

Thank you very much, it’s only about a 3rd done, hard bit to come.

First turbo done, 2nd turbo and manifolds left to do, thinking of doing the waste gate body and making an X pipe to replace the cats to straight pipe it, exhausts on v bands so shouldn’t take to long to change between cats and straight pipe and back again. Should have designed the exhaust for electric bypass, to late now, no room left.
