measure exhaust

[Guest toms280z]

Can you till me how to measure exhaust.

[blueovalz]

This question is exhaustingly vague . What characteristic of exhaust are you wanting to measure?

[2126]

Tom, if you mean the diameter of the exhaust......use a pair of machinist calipers over the outside of the pipe....read the measurement. This is the size of your exhaust. Or, put a tape measure up to it and you can pretty much get a close idea of the size (not very precise).

Take your car to the "on ramp near the Mather entrance to Hwy 50" in Sacramento, California and the EPA will measure it for you.

He's a friend of mine. I think he wants to know how to measure for the bends and degrees of them and such. He's not sure how to measure the routing of the exhuast tubing underneath the car so he can build the exhuast system. I get to do the welding for him

 

I've already welded up a downpipe for him, we'll see how it goes.

[Drftn280zxt]

generally what exhuast people do is build the system based off the original bends in the original exhuast. They bend the new pipe until is matches the bends of the old pipe. THis way you don't have to measure angles and stuff. Don't make it harder than it has to be.

I lay them side by side and try to smooth out the bends as much as possible. Most catbacks seem to have harsh bends to make wide clearances on varying vehicles. If its your own car, you can make the clearances tighter and bends smoother.
