My Custom Exhaust

I was making these for a friend on this forum, but I wanted to show you a couple of custom exhaust I made.

Here is some pics:


I like the carbon fiber ones, but both are fun to build!



I use real aluminum tubing, cf decals and sponsor decals including the etched sponsor log on the exhaust tips and the bluing on the tips.


What else does everyone use?

Re: My Custom Exhaust

I am not selling those, I just make them sometimes.

The blue is Tamiya translucent blue x-23 in the bottle.

Re: My Custom Exhaust

those beat my "build a zorst in 10 minutes out of plastic straws" lol!
Too bad aluminium tubings costs so much here, otherwise I'm sure id invest some money into them!

That's what I use. and it's sooooo cheap! most I've seen was .79c a tube and it was like 3/4'' inch. I suggest if your making exhaust buy one of every size may ring you up a few bucks, but it's damn well worth it.

Re: Re: My Custom Exhaust

the ones I buy are about 10'' long, I believe that's about how big they are.
