I have just installed the AccuFab exhaust however I chatted with John in advance and FYI he was initially reluctant had him ship me one that was not polished because my intention was to wrap the tubes as I have on numerous gals over the years with great success. John is a great person to work with and during the process he shared that he was building a new set of jigs aka welding fixtures to make the resulting product even better. Well I never saw any of the original pieces however this one is “spot on”. The fit of the tubes and the subsequent Tig welding completed is eye candy to me being a racer at heart and would never grind and polish them away.
Now I know that this process will not be for everyone because many enjoy and appreciate the highly polished look and this I truly understand and respect. However for myself I wanted an exhaust that was mechanically sound, pleasing to look at, and not a source of special attention. This is why I elected to have even the tips appear as OEM.
My goal was to further reduce the heat with the engine bay particularly the heat that seems to have caused issues with more than one set of vents in the clamshell.
