Flatt Racing Exhaust Replica

I was recently contracted to build a new exhaust system for Chuckles. He had purchased two Thrush mufflers in hopes to make a Flatt Racing exhaust replica.. This is how it came out









Still waiting for the tips to arrive... I am about to fire it up to see how she sounds

Re: Flatt Racing Exhaust Replica

That looks awesome. It looks like minimal work to make too, relatively strait with low resistance. Is this something you're considering adding to your "bolt on and go" things for sale, or is this a once and done thing?

Re: Flatt Racing Exhaust Replica

Not that simple. I had to make the Y at the mufflers which took about 2hrs by itself. We are considering making bolt-on exhaust systems but they will use a polished stainless bullet muffler like this one...

Re: Flatt Racing Exhaust Replica

We will be making bolt-in exhaust kits soon. Here is a pic of the components we will use.



They will look like the exhaust on the black car mentioned above except a little different for the bolt-in-ability

Re: Flatt Racing Exhaust Replica

I am loading video right now of two systems side by side. Both are brand new.

The car on the left has our Bullet cat-back with a 2-1 magnaflow cat(still needs tips)
The car on the right is the one pictured above which is the Flatt Replica.

The flatt exhaust is not as raspy as it sounds in the video... It is quite nice so take the video with a grain of salt

We are making our first bolt-in cat-back tonight. We will post pics and videos when it is completed. They will be available as soon as we deem it a success

I think the Flatt replica actually sounds really cool.

Re: Flatt Racing Exhaust Replica

I really like the replica too, I do like the low tone of the bullet personally but the Flatt-rep really has a nice unique sound that really isn't captured well in the video
