for that size engine you'll want a 1 5/8\" or maybe even a tad larger depending on the rest of your components.

Nice mock-up :rockon: and nice car!
If you want I've got an old-school (I've never seen another one)4-1 type 3 header system that exits out the toward the passenger side with a big 2\" Magnaflow muffler on it. It looks like it would clear the apron if the PO didn't axe it. The downside is it's the small diameter tube, but my step-bro who's a kick-ass welder/fabricator says if I get him some 1-5/8 (or bigger) pipe cuts and \"donuts\" he'd use mine as a jig and weld up a new flanged system for me.
If you're at all interested you're more than welcome to have a look at what's on my car now to see if you like it and see how it fits or hits.
We're probably still a month or two away from attempting to build it but if it's anything like what I've seen him do it will be very good quality.
I'm not trying to sell you an exhaust system just giving you another option because I know how limited they are for a larger ID exhaust.
Offer's there if you want it.
Cheers!

Well, any time after say 6:30 is usually good for me.
Whereabouts are you located? I'm picking the car up at the alignment shop tomorrow in Langley (right by Samz pub) after work so I'm going to need a place to cruise to so I can check how my newly-installed IRS setup works and handles.
That works for me assuming you're in the area.

Lookin good Matty!

Looking good Mathew!! Keep it up. :rockon:

Cool man! I would think twice about using cardboard for intake gaskets tho...... :P
-
Very nice Matt! Good to see YOU doing all the work, That will be the best part when your finished and you can say you did all of it!
Congrats!
-
Nice Matt. Looking wicked bad :rockon:
-
Thanks for the kind words guys!
Geoff, since your the master fabricator of the 911 conversions here, do you see anything you would have done different and/or better? (besides the intake gaskets!) Nows the time to change anything up
I'm not Geoff but maybe gussett the engine mount to strengthen it if there is room against the rear valance. Is it made out of 3/4 x 1/16 wall square tubing or something wider and thicker? Of course I can't really tell what it is made of. The picture makes it look small and in need of some strength.

Matt,
I kind of agree with Kevin....well maybe. Depending on the depth dimension of the stock Porsche mount.
Its hard to explain with a picture. Ill try. The stresses developed in a retangular member due to bending are a factor of the depth of the member cubed, therefore, depth of member in the plane of the load is very important.
Best example I can think of is a try to break a plastic ruler bending it on the flat, then on edge, obviously much easier on the flat. I know there is some other factors in this. So I calculated the Section Modulus of A ---> Matt Mount 1\" x 1\" x 1/8\" thk vs. B----> Stock POrchse Mount 3\"
(?) deep x 3/16\" thk with 1/2\" \"lips\" on top and bottom.
A -----> 1867mm^3
B -----> 8044mm^3
Therefore, if the porchse mount is 3\" deep (?) stresses in the 1\" x 1\" tubing would be 4.44 times more than the stock mount, which would be bad.... if the stock mount is only 1.5\" or whatever....propbably not an issue.....make sense?

Mike, When I pull the motor out again in a couple days your coming over for a beer and some engineering, cause now I am more confused than a blind lesbian in a fish market!
You say the time, I'll be there
