J__ Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 daaayaaam!! this is one expensive exhaust! but it's worth the money imo. eisenhaus/eisenmann makes some of the best exhausts for euro cars. click on the gallerie link and listen to the video clips of the lambo contach and the ferrari f355...... sounds sweeeeeeeeeeeeett omgomg i just soiled myself... droooooooooool http://www.eisenhaus.com/ehprice.php?selMake=9&selModel=4440&selSub=407&selPerf=2&selTip=1249%232.827%23none.gif&Submit.x=41&Submit.y=11 and look at those welds!!! edit: is it possible to make a Z sound like that without putting in a ferrari engine? lol (f1 sound?)

EZ-E Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 WOW in the first video you could see the car disappear under the second underpass and you could still hear it, what a lovely sound!!!! Just incredible.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HBZ81 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 sounds awesome, but i wouldnt pay $15,000usd for it! (unless i had so much money that it wouldn't matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J__ Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 i was told those welds were machine done? no person can do welds that even apparently. true? edit: that f430 is nothing, listen to the contach and f355 http://www.eisenhaus.com/galleria.php?brand=8&br=Lamborghini&model=4220&md=Countach http://www.eisenhaus.com/galleria.php?brand=9&br=Ferrari&model=4180&md=F+355 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 There are welders out there that can rival and surpass any machine. Take a look at bicycle frames sometime for one example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Bondio Fabrication in Torrance, CA can weld Ti like that. Andy did a complete Ti header/exhaust for a customer's Porsche last year. $25,000 and it was beautiful. Andy has also done welding for Chip Foose.

HeatRaveR Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Geez, you would think at that price, they'd just throw in shipping for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysZ Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 my buddy just picked up an eisenmann exhaust for his M3 =) that thing is beautiful. it wasnt anywhere near $15,000 though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 As much as their fabrication and sound is beautiful seems like most of their gains are around 5-6% increase, why would you pay $15G for only a 5% gain? Although there is a considerable weight saving (70%) over a stock system if you go with the Ti set-ups. Yowza! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 The Countach and the F355 sound AMAZING, but my favorite is the SL55. Love the s/c whine and grumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getZ Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I don't understand why it has so many bends welded together. Why not just use mandrel bender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I don't understand why it has so many bends welded together. Why not just use mandrel bender. Because true mandrel bending equipment is very expensive: http://www.vansantent.com/2060EX.pdf And most equipment cannot handle bending Ti. Its really tough stuff and will gall unless the tooling used is either cadium plated or has other, more sophisticated coatings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getZ Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 You'd think for that much money a mandrel bender would be a given. I wanted to buy one a while back until I found out how much they cost. I was thinking that picture was just a demo of their welding ability and not how they actualy build the stuff. What about the inside? Does it come out that smooth? If there are still breaks on the inside it isn't as free flowing. Seriously, I think its for people with more money than sense or if you are building a car for somebody else and they are paying for it.

randy 77zt Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 looks like a motorcycle exhaust-i wouldnt bother with titanium on a car.unless maybe a race car to get it to minimum weight spec for a class rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinked_Chrome Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I don't understand why it has so many bends welded together. Why not just use mandrel bender. i think that Ti is also too brittle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Hand welding Ti is a pain too. You can only TIG weld it and Ti becomes magnetic when you run a current through it like while TIG welding so it wants to draw the filler rod in when you don't want it to, plus needs to be cryo treated because of dissimilar densities of bead to base metal.

johnc Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 I don't know where you got your information about welding Ti, but its all wrong. I've welded Ti many times and: 1. It does not become magnetic when welding current is applied. 2. You can weld Ti using GTAW, GMAW, Friction, Resistance, Laser, and Electron Bean processes. 3. And only the Metastable beta alloys (Ti-3Al-13V-11Cr, Ti-11.5Mo-6Zr-4.5Sn, Ti-8Mo-8V-2Fe-3Al, Ti-15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn, and Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Zr-4Mo) need post weld treatment.

AK-Z Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Oh sorry. I thought that was the case from exp, but my dad has some weird setup in the shop. he attached a electro-magnet under the table. I've only been welding alluminum and titanium on it. I thought the weird electro-feild noise was coming from the welder. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240zwannabe Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 is it even possible to make a weld that small without grinding it down? i mean tig welds are small but damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Go to http://www.burnsstainless.com and look at some of the work that Spoon does. Also, I've watched Andy Bondio, using a .040 tungsten and .030 filler, lay a .035 bead all the way around a 5" OD .039" thick stainless steel tube.
