Hi Folks! I`m building up a 65 GT350R Clone and i wonder what was the angle of the exaust pipes? I´ve seen some coming out about 45 degrees, some others like Rick Kopecs R Model ist allmost 90 degrees. Here is a drawing of my exaust pipe, this is the part after the cherry bombs. Do you think the angle is ok?? On the picture you see my favorite R Clone and i hope this is pretty much like original. Tube diameter is 2.5" i thought 2 1/4" might be a bit small? Thanks for your replies guys Bye Jerry
You are correct. They had a less than a 90 degree angle to them. I know I have seen a drawing in a old "Shelby American". Older than number 48 I'm sure. Give me a couple of days to look it up.
Hi roddster So you mean i`m ok with the 95 degree angle? I think they had originally 2 1/4" pipes on or am i wrong? Well i allready told my friend to make it in 2 1/2" so it`s too late anyway. I would be very thankfull for your opinion about the angle, if it`s ok or if you think it`s too sharp. Thank you very much Bye bye from germany Jerry
No, it's somewhere between a 45 and a 60 degree angle, depending on the length of the glass pack, but I don't have time to look this up in my stack of old Shelby-Americans. And, seems you have already moved the project along...
