 Topic: Chrome exhaust
Posted: 08 Jun 2017 at 6:56am |
|
I have an antique 1899 Bessemer 5HP hit/miss engine. I currently have 2" threaded NPT steel pipe for the exhaust. I am looking for a straight chrome exhaust pipe. I need male NPT thread on one end. Looking for a 4-6 foot long piece. Can't seem to find any. Does anybody know of a place that sells something like that? Thanks for the help.

Or some kind of a fitting that would go into my 2" elbow that would then connect to straight pipe.

Maybe the easiest thing I could do would be to use a 2 1/2 inch chrome pipe, and just slide it over the steel 2" I currently have. I just don't want it to rattle. Thoughts? How would I make it so it does not rattle?

Pack it with steel wool when you slide it over the pipe.

You can go down to the local scrap yard and get it in stainless steel, then polish it out on a buffing wheel. It will look as good as chrome.

Years ago us boys thought we were clever and worked beer cans over the straight pipe on the ol' man's big tractor (not A-C) when he went in for surgery. He was not pleased and proceeded to discolor those cans in short order after a day pulling the A-C disc. We still rib him about it.

Go with the suggestion of getting some stainless pipe. 316 will polish up like chrome and you can thread it to screw right in. I have no idea how hot a hit and miss exhaust systems gets but single wall chrome and SS with both tend to turn blue if they see high heat. The SS can be re-polished--the chrome cannot.

Tim....when a few of us guys meet up at the local gas station on a certain night. we wait for the kids that come in with their diesel pipes that come up thru the box floor of their trucks. they go inside and we shove them plastic cups down the pipes! really stinks for a long time!

If we were around each other in our younger days Shameless, something tells me I would have gotten into plenty of trouble . . . . .
