Damn these are nice. The second one will make awesome wall paper. I might post it up in original size in case anyone wants it.

Steve,
That exhaust looks phenominal...how much would you charge to build another?

Steve,
That is a fantastic exhaust!
Looks like an off-road version of the Callaway - ©McArdle Exhaust. The powder coating adds a nice touch.
More details please....

:cool
Here are some pics of the ©McArdle Exhaust

Looks like a very cool F1 welding job!!
Is this what they call a sleaper (looks fast but is even faster) with an aerobody?

I don't think anyone will be sleeping when any of the Callaways with these types of exhaust systems come by. :L :L Steve that car looks like a real work of art!! Any dyno numbers for improvements with that exhaust system? It looks like it might be alittle less pricey than those super sweet mega systems. Ike

Ike - Good point, neither car will be sneaking up with the sewer pipe sized plumbing leaving the turbo housings :eek
I have witnessed the wrath of Luigi's B2K at WOT and believe me, few cars I have seen have launched in such an eye popping manner :eek
Steve's car must sound impressive w/out the cats muffling the sweet turbo whizzes and whirrs :cool

Chris, you know what my PE system sounds like. Steve did state that his exhaust is considerably quieter than mine as he used to have a PE system as well.

That exhaust looks very close to the McArdle exhaust. It looks very nice. Powder coating is a nice touch.

Josh: Thanks alot for hosting these pics.
Also, thanks for the compliments from everyone that posted.
For me, once I am done with an exhaust system I really don't ever want to do one again. However, that feeling seems to fade with a little time. This exhaust was quite a bit easier to fabricate than the exhaust system for my '67 Corvette with a 632" motor. That exhaust system consists of 4" oval tubing that splits into two 3" tubes with two 3" mufflers - on each side. There are 4 mufflers under the back of the car. Now that was a challenging exhaust system! There is more info and pics on that system on the "other" corvette forum.
The exhaust I had on the Callaway prior to this one consisted of 3" tubing from the turbos into each Random Technologies cat. From the cat I continued with 3" tubing to just in front of the rear-end. At that point it connected into the Power Effects 2-3/4" exhaust pipes and then their capsules. With the valve in the Power Effects capsule fully open, the car made of 600 rear wheel horsepower. I destroyed one of the cats when the car overboosted and detonated. I replaced the cat but have since decided to eliminate them all together.
This current system is made of 3" tubing all the way from the turbos to the DynoMax 3" Ultra Flo welded mufflers. I selected these mufflers after flow testing on a SF-600 flow bench. Let me just say that they flowed SIGNIFICANTLY better than the Power Effect capsules. An added benefit of these mufflers is that they are relatively quiet. That's right - quiet. They are louder than the factory mufflers, but not objectionable. Compared to the Power Effects capsules, my wife and I can carry on a normal conversation while driving the car.
I TIG weld all my systems and even grind inside the tubing after welding to get as smooth a finish as possible. I am a little anal when it comes to this type of stuff.
The exhaust is not powder coated. I use Plasti-Kote Hi-Temp black paint on all my systems. It leaves a powdery finish that wipes off and reveals a unique appearance.
I hope to start testing on the DynoJet by this weekend. I am in no hurry - one of the luxuries of having your own dyno. I will leave the car on the dyno until I am satisfied with the numbers. I am going back to square one as far as boost control. I just removed a Norgren valve system that applies pressure to the backside of the wastegate. I want to try some of these new manual boost controllers I have seen. Actually, there are a number of things I will be trying - but that is a discussion for a different time. Suffice it to say that a data acquisition system like my Racepak is invaluable to this type of testing.

Thats one fine B2K specimen you have in your possession, it could be possibly the most powerful B2K prowling the streets besides the legendary Sledgehammer. BEAUTIFUL RIDE

Steve - Thanks for sharing details on the exhaust. You did a great job on it. A couple of more questions if you don't mind. Did you taper the pipes up to 3" at the turbo outlets? They are 2.5" aren't they?
Also, I'm assuming you have no X or H in the system? Did you ever try one? I'm just wondering if there is any advantage or disadvantage?

shopview, Evolution1980, Johnny(HuggerC8), and 90Callaway: thanks.
Johnny: I appreciate the comment but I can't imagine that mine is the second most powerful Callaway out there. It is definitely not something that I am trying to do. I just like experimenting.
90Callaway: The turbo flange is indeed 2.5" but I fitted a 3" section of tubing to it. As far as the X or H pipe, I make not claims to being an expert on exhaust systems but I don't see how they can be beneficial on a turbo car. The idea is for one side of the system to help scavange exhaust from the other side. The problem I see for turbo cars is that the turbo is in the way.
