From Silence To Violence: A Little Bit Of BS Left

17 Oct From Silence To Violence: A Little Bit Of BS Left

This is the week, folks. The week it all comes to a head. So let’s key you all in on the little bit of work that’s left to do at Fluid MotorUnion.

The headers and mid/rear section were completed last week, so the last piece of the exhaust puzzle remained the connection between the headers and the midsection. After all, the midsection wouldn’t be worth a damn if the headers dumped into the atmosphere. So we set about fixing that. The first stage, as always, is lots of tape and pointing.

Despite the fact that the exhaust should, at first glance, be symmetrical underneath the body of the vehicle, such is not the case. There are small little changes between the driver and passenger side of the vehicle that necessitates a slightly different routing on each side. It’s never as easy as making one pipe, then a mirror image of that same pipe. If it were, it wouldn’t be nearly as fun. So we set out making both sides of the connection between headers and mid:

As always, the work turned out spectacularly. We’ve never shown shots of our welding on the website before, so let’s show you all a few quick snaps of FMU’s most recent handiwork:

In terms of the remaining work on the Black Series, the Weistec kit is fully installed and ready to start compressing some air, the water-meth is being finished up as we speak, and we’re doing a couple quick little tricks elsewhere in the cabin, as well. We’ll have shots of the full exhaust system coming up this week, along with everything else we haven’t managed to fit in the blog yet, so stay tuned for this week’s stunning conclusion of From Silence to Violence!!! As always, a big heartfelt thanks goes out to Raging Bull Marketing, who’ve provided us with an epic opportunity that has turned into something utterly ludicrous — exactly what both parties had hoped for. In the meantime, let’s look at this below picture and think to ourselves, “What could Jeremy Cliff possibly be shooting for FMU?” Well, we won’t tell you yet, but it’s going to be fantastic once we do.
