Thanks so much for sharing, showing and explaining these things. Us so called normal people would never get the chance to see this sort of stuff if it wasn’t for someone like you showing and explaining it to us. Keeping the passion alive and passed down is priceless. Thanks for your time doing these

That's one set of nice pipes Jack. Just so LP, engineering hand drawn in pencil freehand on a piece of A4, beautiful work. Thanks for that Jack

Love the video. Happy to hear about the 2008-2011 systems. They were the best sounding Supercars in my opinion!

Exhaust systems are one of the most interesting parts of a car!

Thanks Jack, im one of the hounds that has been asking about the cross over headers. Glad you could finally bring us something to quenched our thirst. Was as much effort put into making the primaries the same length as in the tri y system? Or was it just accepted that two runners from either bank were going to be longer? Cheers mate! Keep up the good work and good luck for Bathurst.

I find it interesting how the pulse entering the exhaust changes the note so much. i also follow an American (KSR) and he built an 8 into 1 (Exhaust exits over the engine but its a burnout car) with the pipes following the firing order (pipes enter the collector in the firing order)its sounds like a tractor at idle but at revs it screams like an F1 car

Hi Jack, very informative, just wondering with the two mufflers are they straight through with meshing or is there a pattern inside that creates that sound? Can you explain how you designed the internals of the two mufflers please.

Jack have you done an episode on the rear axles and diff and housing?
I heard those were made from exotic materials to save weight.

Studs or bolts on the headers to cyl/head ? And probably clearance there was important as well. That Jack Daniels car sounded awesome. Cheers.

Interesting they still use imperial measurements! See you at Calder soon!

I want the specs on those 304 heads. Holden did a great job on those as well as the 'street' mapping. Memcal chips drove me insane.

Nice vid
How much work was done on designing that exhaust for the power curve you wanted versus just getting it to fit?
Dyno time?
Did dimensions change for different tracks?

Another awesome video Jack, yes alot would think a exhaust moving around like that would crack, I'm surprised your Dad didn't use vw bump stops on exhaust mounts like hes famous shifter knob.
Any chance of buying a LP vw shifter knob for a t5 ??
Cheers Jack

Great video Jack, as always! Quick question - is the engine solid mounted or rubber mounted, on these cars? Edit: Gearbox crossmember suggests rubber mounted?

What's the advantage of the 8(-4)-2-1 compared to the dual systems with an X-pipe? I'm curious if the X-pipe does the same thing as joining the banks (at an equal length) or if it has a different effect? 🤔
