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!
I felt like I was in the matrix
Another example of making do with what you have, and adapting to turn out amazing results.
Work of art Jordan.Well done!!
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.
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.
I like the thought, I would trim a bit at a time to what suits me, whatever the case my fingers need the protection. I have some old guards to test the idea, just never thought of it and put up with the limited cutting range. Eyes are protected by your PPE. When you think about it, a built in finger guard on the casing of the motors would help, that all these fabricators remove them should tell the manufacturers tha a redesign is needed.
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!
The 1948 Tucker also had 6 exhaust tips exiting out under the rear bumper.
Headers are work of art! Looks like it would have been easier to plumb a house! Take care!
You got that right!
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.
there are a lot of videos on pie cutting tubing to achieve different bend rad. I think the fabrication series? had one
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 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.
It’s not all glory haha
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.
I like the use of digital angle indicator, very clever.☺️
Wow, that's an exhaust system that's worth a few thousand dollars.
That is a lot of great work. Keep it up. I am working on my track /lakes roadster. Picx to follow soon , I hope
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 👍
Thank you Wayne ! Means a lot.
My my my TV
That looks great, you are talented
😮 looks really good
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.
Thats going to be one loud Kombi
She will be flying!
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.
Can't wait to hear it.
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
A truly refined and difficult job... Truly beautiful, top! 👌😃
The company is called ICE Engineworks. They are in California USA.
That’s it!
Think ss custom engineers in Australia do them also
Mate! I feel ya struggle on that one 😂 love ya work
Thanks Bax!
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.
My old dad used to say where ever there’s a bar in The world there will be somebody in it !!!
If you tightly pack the pipe with dry sand , heat pipe ,it should bend without kicking or wrinkling.
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!
Thanks Ray!
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
That would be amazing!
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
Most definitely
well done! 🤘
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.
A work of art for sure, your talent is outstanding and you smash everything, a joy to share and comment on the excellence
Thank you kindly!
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
Great idea
3 cylinders and 3-into-6 unequal length headers? That is going to be the weirdest/coolest sounding thing ever...
Exactly
objective achieved ! 👍🏼 going with the airplane scheme , would of been nice for the exhaust exiting through the bumper.
Definitely crossed my mind
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?
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.
Looks very nice Jordan
Nice work looks good
Hi mate, have you searched for stainless steel exhaust doughnuts, they have a real tight radius?
Nice SS work. Very custom.
Thanks Tim!
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
Great call
Header modeling blocks aren’t cheap
Lovely work!
Looks amazing, proper craftsmanship 🍻
Can you get the plugs out without taking the exhaust apart ?
Yup!
Nice Video. I finished your last Video, I had to go back and finish this one.

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.
It will sound good, hang tight
A donut is good for tight radius.
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 😁😁🤘🤘🇹🇭🇹🇭
Is there a reason that you aren't jacking it up and down to improve access?
A few years ago they invented something called a "muffler system" .
Soo good
wow, nice looking setup. how does it cool? is there a fan and shroud setup needed?
Water cooled it will go through a radiator
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.
I don’t find it boring. He’s trying to accomplish a very difficult task while simultaneously explaining the process.
Trust me sitting all day trying to plumbing was about as boring as watching paint dry haha
Is the length of each pipe important , or not???
Is the engine fuel injected ? If so it needs O2 sensors.? 🤷♂️
You should reverse the colours on the Van, put the heavy colour on the bottom.
That’s the way they all do them though, need to be different
@@bennettscustomsco There's a reason, so they don't look top heavy..
@@65cj55when you get one of yourself you can do whatever you like.
@@DeepseaSteve I've own and restored 3 split windows....all colour correct.
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?
could you have cut 2/3 (or more) of the way from the ID to the OD of the arc removing metal that would allow you to bend it tighter? like i have seen you doing before, i think on chassis rails?
I should say, looks amazing. you pulled off the aircraft inspired aesthetic you were after. proper nice.
ICE engineering
Theire so close to the cilinder heads that, maybe, you will have to think carefully in a nice cooling sistem
The motor being water cooled will help, an oil cooler too, pipes being coated and some heat shield we should be in the ball park, a few scoops to Lift air in the engine bay will help too
👍🏼👍🏼
Where are you from? I only hear your Australian accent in certain words.
Canada
U know us colored guys are watching too.....
Now put it in a beetle.

Has he been calling it “the commie van”?
Combeeee
You can seek perfection but miss the objective. Get it done. Wasted a lot of time unnecessarily. It was good before you wanted perfection.
It’s good when I’m happy.
Aquarius! Second best isn’t an option.
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 .
Your absolutely right, three would have been just fine, but something my creative juices over flow
The struggle, is real.🤼♀
