Default Making Extractors.

In the next couple of months I am going to have to make some custom extractors for the new race car. Wondering if anyone has any tips, tricks or educational material for not only the fabrication, but the science as well. Theres no point making some sweet extractors that are badly designed.

I will be making them out of 2" Mandrel bends into a 3" Collector. Engine for the first season will be a 351 Clevo ~400-450hp max RPM 5,500. Next Season the 393 will be completed and that will be ~650@7,500. So optimising them for the 393 will be the primary goal. There will be no dyno'ing various configurations so getting some math to get the first and final product as good as I can is a must.

Heres a little speil i know about extractors. v8 supercars extractors are not exactly the same length. Same goes for nascar. . So basically mate make the shapes flow a much as possible within the confines of your engine bay and you should be fine.

ps i forgot to take some pics at work. but ill take some of the ones i have at home
