Bloody hell you don't mess about! I might be a little worried about heat near that filler? might be an idea to put an aluminum shield around the area..

may put a heat sheild round the outlets ,ie a piece of oval ally sheet

spank-tastic!


If it were me making that, I'd be tempted to make the box with a bolt-down lid, so you could get to it fairly easily if needed, and then fill it with glass fibre, to make it a bit quieter inside!

Where does the box finish internally? Does it finish handily close to the exhaust tunnel? Or is it overlapping a bit?

Hmmm, you sure you can have part of the exhaust system in the car?

When my exhuast was blowing, it gave me a blinding headache and made me feel sick as a dog somehow! And my exhaust is definately outside!

just got to shorten the inlet pipe a bit or cut a bit more of the
tail pipes and it will be ok, will be making a removeable cover
with some foam heat resistant sheet inside..

looking good, the pics of the green mini with the side exit exhaust is my mates Simon OSullivan's mini which was in miniworld last year I think it was, lovely little trick like a few other mods on the car it self

[mini_toaster]

that exhaust looks mint freddy. I really like the idea of the sheet over the outlets

[camp freddy]

been out for an hour tonight, done a bit more work on the exhaust
outlet, primed up.







not looking too bad...

enters the tunnel
