Two suggestions, you might try search on the web for exhaust
pipe "reducers", "collector cones", etc. Also you might see if your local
muffler shop might have such a fitting or could use their hydraulic machinery to
make you one..
Hi
Ed,
Burns Stainless has a
fitting that will work, but it isn't really ideal either. I could probably
get a muffler shop to expand the end of my pipe, but the heavy, mild steel
flange bothered me too. I went ahead and ordered some 1/4" 321 to make a
new flange, but this isn't a perfect solution either. Now, I'll have a
2.125" port on the rotor housing going into a 1.68" ID
tube. Since the port on the housing tapers out to that size, I don't
think it will be a huge problem, but I may look into extending the exhaust tube
slightly through the flange, and shaping the end so that it closely
fits the walls of the ports. Until I look at it more closely, I won't know
just how worthwhile this would be.
Cheers,
Rusty (now I want
to spin something)
