And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Used to fabricate header systems for those and other high performance engines, lot of it is welded sections of bend tangents, not enough straight lengths to grab in the mandrel benders, so you use U and J bends, cut where needed to fit, too much rotation and bends too close to fabricate them than piece by piece, keeping careful track of equal lengths, all within an 1/8 of an inch at the collectors, a critical feature of obtaining max performance from a pipe system. Lot of power to be had in a properly made exhaust, power that never wears out. Advent of the wheel driven dyno's became an indispensable tool, an unsung game changer.
Look at the work that's gone into the exhaust

ReplyDeleteGilles Villeneuve and Ronnie Peterson. Mt Fuji 1977. Tragic end for spectators.
ReplyDeletea bit of a search turned up that the funny looking car with 4 front wheels steering was something called a Tyrrell P34
