Exhaust repairs

I do not think there will be a problem with the hydraulic oil getting hot. There is 4 inches of open space between the exhaust manifold and the hydraulic oil return pipe. I can take a picture from the side if you would like.

Great alternative solution to spending $700.
Good looking job as well.

I too have fabbed up a couple of DIY systems over the years, for sure a dyno test would not confirm optimum performance but then for $$ in pocked 97% is perfectly acceptable, and that is not counting the satisfaction of a DIY solution.

Was mentioned a possible heat problem, easy cure; couple of spacers and tack weld a heat shield about 1/4" away from the manifold.

I do notice your outlet is upwards facing.
Rather than the tin can cover you might wish to add a flapper valve to keep out water.

Good deal!
