Will this exhaust pass the IVA
AndyChalmers - 3/8/11 at 03:06 PM



I am building a MEV Rocket, similar to above. I have now got to the exhaust stage. If I made an exhaust similar the above pic, would this pass the IVA? I could'nt find anything in the IVA guide. I dont mean about loudness etc, just more of the design & would it need heat shields etc?

Also would I be ok if I wanted to make small twin rear silences that came out the middle at the back of the car then run vertically up?
Thanks in advance

I cant see any reason to why it wouldn't, after all its exactly whats on a seven apart from at a different place in the car!

Does the edge not have to be rolled? haven't got mine through the test yet so don't quote me on that good luck

This is true! meet the radius.

Looks like the mounting brackets may be a problem also. Do they use the large cone thing for IVA that they used in SVA?

looks bloody nice though

This may be a difference between SVA and IVA, but in 2005, my SVA inspector told me I could weld daggers and razor blades to the rear of the car as the radius rules only applied to forward facing projections.
