Godzilla Swapped Contiental Trunk & Bumper Exit Exhaust Fabrication - 7.3L 1965 Lincoln Ep. 10
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Last week we fabricated a full set of custom headers to route our '65 Continental exhaust from our 7.3L Godzilla engine, around our steering shaft, and past our firewall. Now it's time to work our way to the back of the Continental. We have to start first by cutting out the trunk of this 1965 Lincoln because we have something wild planned for the very end of this exhaust run.
Once the trunk is chopped out, we can start working our way from our headers back. We're connecting our band clamps to two massively long Vibrant oval exhaust pipes. These will run the length of the Continental until getting to our differential, where we're using some bent Vibrant oval piping to pop over our rear end and into our trunk area. And that's where the real fun begins.
We have an insane Vibrant muffler that we're throwing right where our spare tire used to be, connecting both sides of our exhaust, and combining them into an exhaust tip that's shooting right through our custom fabricated bumper!
Want to hear how this exhaust sounds? Well so do we! But just like us, you're going to have to wait until this build gets farther along. And the only way to do that is to subscribe. So make sure you don't miss a single part of this 7.3L swapped bagged Lincoln Continental Build!

Oval exhaust is also restrictive
With as straight-line and linear as the body lines of that rear end is I think a nice wide double walled squared up single outlet Murcielago style tip flush mounted to the pan surface would compliment it a ton more than the round ones that just look out of place among all the strait lines

Good morning Luis! Hope you're having a great week!
For a show car the exhaust is definitely unique. The work quality is, as always, and obviously, top notch! If peak performance becomes a priority I think you folks know there would have to be some reconfiguration in that exhaust. Of course with a 7.3 liter that car is going to be plenty powerful. Especially for a show car. I don't think you all will have any trouble roasting the tires, if you want to do that.

Craziest idea I've seen in a while. Obviously this was mostly done for looks, as you could easily have mounted a f-body cross flow muffler under the floorpan and had two tips enter the back of the trunk and out the rear panel. Question: Why build a crossover x pipe when you have a cross flow muffler? Looks, again? Question #2: The outlet on the mufler is only 3" diam. Wouldn't you have saved money and space by running two 2.5" exhaust pipes instead of that expensive oval 3.5x2.5 oval stuff? Again, looks?

@SalvagetoSavage

It should be fine. If you look at a majority of exhaust hangars, they pretty much all have rubber isolators/bushings. That mount is also far enough back that the temps shouldn't get hot enough to cook it that much. If it was on the headers, that would be a different story. Worst case scenario though, if it does get too hot back there, we can always switch it out for a more heat resistant isolator!

That car is gonna be sweet! What's the reasoning for the x-pipe before they come together in the muffler? Doesn't the muffler do the job of an x-pipe? Also that Godzilla motor might need more than just a single 3" outlet from the muffler. Dual 3" all the way back to a single 3" at the very last 10" of exhaust seems like it would be a bit restrictive at the very end. Couldn't you just make dual 3" outlets from the muffler to keep it opened up? Looks wise it'd be the same at the exit.

I love the projects you do, and I've seen enough now to wonder whether there is such a thing as an automated pipe bender for stainless steel exhaust tube. I've seen pipe benders at work but mostly for stuff like roll cages and other structural supports. I've also seen pipe benders at work in various muffler shops, but I doubt they bend stainless steel. Maybe I'm wrong - but you guys spend so much time with all the pie cuts and the welding and the grinding and the polishing I can't imagine why you don't have such a machine in your shop... other than the cost being prohibitive. Seriously, though, I bet you'd recoup the cost pretty quickly wouldn't you? Just curious.

@SalvagetoSavage
4 ай бұрын
Cold beer would definitely be a no go back there! In terms of bending our own pipes, the reason we use the Vibrant stuff is that they have a pretty high end mandrel bender that makes sure that even throughout the bend, the inner diameter of the material doesn't get crushed down. What would happen if we tried doing it ourselves, which is what you end up seeing with a lot of lower end exhaust pipe parts, is that the pipe would start crushing inward where we're making our bend which is not good for air flow
Are those exhaust tips not going to rattle like crazy against the recessed box they pass through? Not much clearance there...
Just asking out of curiosity. Is it risky when the exhaust is that close to the fuel tank or is it alright? Is it similar in all cars? don't know for sure.
@SalvagetoSavage
4 ай бұрын
There's going to be some paneling in the trunk separating the tank and muffler some more, but there's also going to be airflow in that trunk keeping the exhaust area cool. It's going to be relatively the same as a normal car. The exhaust usually sit pretty close to the tanks but the difference is, we have a nice aluminum tank from Devious Customs!

Great job. But, why not just run the pipes directly into the muffler and eliminate the x-pipe portion? It just seems unnecessary and it takes away a lot of the trunk space.
Too many pie cuts ! And no flex pipes up front? Wont there be some vibration from solid mounted exhaust?

H and X pipes dont make as much power as true dual. Additionally they cause harmonic issues which can and do affect the valves. And what you did here is have 2 X pipes which is twice the issues and most likely more.
