Am installing a 3" exhaust and the long portion of the pipe running down the right side next to the tanks has 2 "flanges" with a 3" rubber or plastic insert. I removed a 2-1/2" system and the PO had a piece of 3" pipe in the flange with the 2-1/2 running through that.
My question is, can I run my 3" pipe directly through this flange with the insert? It fits snugly and makes an excellent hanger. Will this insert melt or burn? I held fire from a lighter to it for 30 seconds or so and it did not melt or even smoke. But I wonder if this is designed to hold up to constant exhaust pipe heat.
Anyone know?
Thanks

It should be fine. That's how my system has been installed for the past few years per JimK.

OK - I'll ask this question. I have my exhaust out and my two support plates and silicone rubber inserts are in good condition. Is there any benefit/advantage to having more than the original two supports? (I can remove the ones from the transmode if I wish to install more than the original two.)
On another note I have JimK's SS exhaust system and it has presented a problem. It looks so good, all shiny, that I almost feel I need to find some way to mount it where it can be seen, not hidden under the coach. <GRIN>

Steve,
No advantage I know of -- if you are putting the system on an early coach, 73/74, you may find that the crossmembers in the area of the bogies have angle attachments that need to be filed down to allow the pipe to clear adequately.
Here is an install I did...

AS long as you do it like our kit where the one end is expanded and
the other side slides in, there is no need to have more than 2 muffler
bearing.

I'll be there soonas I have a small exhaust leak. Why did you choose stainless over aluminized exhaust? I know this debate occurs from time to time but I never remember when I need the stuff.

Well the CFO, who is the coaches actual owner, said that is the one she was willing to pay for. Why? For the same reason she wants a second Patterson dizzy on board as a spare. The reason? Cause that's the way she wants it. The real fun will begin when we get to the interior and the decorator and artist will have a lot more to say about how she wants it.
I am just the official owner for collector plates reasons and am the head mechanic and cheap labor source.

Does anyone else think Rob has been dipping into the Fosters a little too deeply?
FO. What a thought. All the work I've put into the coach (okay "work" is a euphemism for money) is unseen. A FO might benefit from it all, but I doubt they would pay an extra nickel for it!
Stainless brake lines, aluminum manifold, fuel lines, electric fuel pump, macerator, don't mean too much to the purchaser's CFO.
Working dash AC might make a difference though!
Some things you do for yourself, like an extra dram of Fosters!

I seriously doubt that Rob partakes of
that kangaroo pee known as Fosters!

Mac,
Correct!
Fosters is brewed for export. In fact the company just got sold to some mob in South Africa I think.
Here in New South Wales we drink Tooheys.
As far as a "dram" goes I do like Scotch, single malt preferably!
Regards,
Rob M.
