Summer found me detoured from the airplane
project. Now I have the exhaust system fabricated, it is time to try some
exhaust experiments. Does any one have an idea on the auto exhaust
temperatures after the catalytic converter. My V-6 cylinder pickup is
going to need exhaust work and somewhere it is stuck in my mind that I read that
the exhaust can go as high as 1900 degrees, so don't leave running in dry
grass. This happened at Sun n Fun. I'm thinking of trying the 60
degree angle plate drilled full of holes, may 1/8" or 5/32" and welded in a
section of pipe and see what happens. If it turns into an exploding cigar
I'll be on the ground. Those cones are 3" in dia. and $60.00 would be less
expensive than a muffler and with the housing would be lighter.
JohnD Is anyone going to Oshkosh? I
hope to be there the first and second day.
