Exhaust Transportation - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

rogerzr1 · 12-13-2007

One of the zr1 net's members is having his exhaust changed out at Marc Haibeck. I want to buy his old exhaust but it is welded into a single piece. Does anyone have any ideas on a good inexpensive way to transport this, or am I out of luck? I live in GA.

is it just tack welded together on the joints and still using clamps?

or fully welded? not sure how to get that shipped.

maybe drive the Z up from GA and get it installed?

what exhaust is it?

He said that it was TIG welded, I don't exactly know what that means.The exhaust is a B&B with x pipe.

Take a picture of it... Bring it to a muffler shop and ask them were it should be cut to make it easy for you to reinstall. You can get it cut anywhere and most pipe benders can hook you up later anyway. You could try UPS one piece but I bet it would end up getting destroyed unless crated!! It doesnt take much to damage the mufflers and tips. You can get the piping anywhere.

Yes thats why I suggest you take a pic to your local muffler shop so you can tell Marc where to initially cut it.
