Stole this exhaust from a famous Bonneville race car... Vic Edelbrock 👏
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- We ordered some flexible exhaust tubing from our local NAPA store to see if we can replicate Vic Edelbrock's famous Bonneville salt flat race car. As soon as Bad Chad saw this car at Galpin Ford's custom car museum in California he knew he had to steal the idea. Is it 100% practical? Probably not. But, it's 100% cooler than dangit. We just need to make it work 👏

No offense, just get exhaust manifolds to fit it so you only have to worry about two exhaust pipes instead of six, it would probably solve the driver side issues.
Wait till you see what they look like AFTER they heat up from the exhaust!! 😮
look even better not so shiny the look they are going for
Vic Edelbrock put his name on most everything he sold, it’s a shame that people still can’t spell his name.
I used to find all kinds of dirt cheap Edelbrock old vintage speed parts on Ebay due to nobody knowing how to spell his name. Used to search Elderbrock, Edlebrock, Edelbrook, etc etc....
I can guarantee you that the flex pipe will not take the heat of the heads it will burn like a pop can before long.
Ok you said the same thing on yesterdays video. keep saying it and you will believe it.
5he time you take messing with one side and getting them straight you could build proper exhausts for both sides.
I've never had a bad comment to make on any build... until now. This is not a good thing. Take the time and build some darn headers, man. Jeeez
I know Chad would never buy a set of headers
But he'll spend HUNDREDS of dollars on flex pipe and the WRONG radiator!@brettemerich3237
I won't put that garbage exhaust on a lawnmower and I wouldn't put plexiglass on anything that you are actually going to drive down the road. There's a difference from being frugal and being not very smart!!
Have you listened to his daily grammatical mistakes, of course he's not very SMART!! @rogermcdonald1607
@@scubafever282828 for a guy not very "smart" they seem to be doing something right they seem to live ok. that you can not dispute
The problem with flex pipe is once it gets a little rusty they split open and unravel. Any movement splits them open when rusty.
The exhaust flex pipe is stainless steel. I have used it to build custom exhaust. I have some on my 1984 Mustang that I used to replace the Cat Converter. It's been in for 15 years and it is as good as new.
I was able to slip it off when I replaced the Muffler 2 years ago.
Gotta say I hate the pipes.
YOU WILL HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR SO THAT YOU DON'T BURN THE SHIT OUT OF YOUR LEG ! THAT'S WHY ON SIDE PIPES THERE IS A SHEID TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING BURNED !
Easy there caps lock guy. Sometimes we get burnt. It heals. Sometimes it even leaves a bitchin scar. Small price to pay for a cool looking car
It reminds me of a smaller dryer vent tubing!
@@emersonb5764 Im glad he yelled it now my neighbor knows too.😆
So i guess you are another keyboard jockey that types before listening, in the opening two minutes Chad said if he needs to shield them he will.
I would not have the nice young lady in that car without a seat belt and windshield wipers...those pipes will burn your legs if your wearing shorts.
Hate to say it but if that flex pipe is that thin they will burn out in no time.
It is usually galvanized steel and lasts quite a long time! Get it right first time!
Most like it will never see the road.
@@GeraldBoone-qy2yt No it doesn't...read the reviews on the crap. Start with Canadian Tire....
Someone better tell caterpillar quick then that its crap, they use it on 400hp gensets and have for years
we run them off our generator out the 5 ton truck, going strong five years
I know Chad is very sensitive to criticism but this is one time when I think he messed the whole car up with that exhaust. People are going to laugh at you for this one big time!!!
I can't help but think those hot exhaust pipes are going to burn someone as they enter/exit the car.
That's part of the fun of a hot rod😄
Or melt
Spray header paint it would look good
@@billychristopher9524 Nothing like a third degree burn to start a fun day.
Looks too cheaply made..I'm bad chad person all way but I personally don't care for look of it..with some real header tube's and exhaust the way u have it would of looked nice but not that flex cheaply looking pipe..just honestly THE CAR deserves better then that my opinion anyways..so many people would give whatever to have that car and to do it a respective kinda way..now something on a racecar then who cares but not on a HOTROD
Not to worry as it will never get driven and must be due to be pushed back into the shed with all the others but are any of these cars road legal ,just content for the business.
Bingo! I don't fault Chad and his business partner for these conceptual builds. Chad gives us subscribers: useful design ideas, hands on skills, car fabrication education and he helps Doug and Nathan make ends meet...The pipes are like a "fly in the soup" though...I give the video a 'like regardless of my opinion.
I used that stuff once when I was a teenager and didn't know any better
Those pipes will never get hot sure the car is only going to the back yard anyway. Not like we are going to see one driven to the Moncton Nationals
Sorry Chad but I think 3 into 1 side pipes would look much better.
Plus save a lot of flex pipe. I was thinking the same thing.
Or a set of zoom tubes
Should run a single rusty pipe from the headers. Wrap the headers. Safety First
@@rudiwendt5278 rusty single pipe
It's obvious to me that a set of lake pipe would make the job easier and neater. 3 into one's from the motor then the lakes under the cab. Haven't watched video to the end yet but I am wondering about mufflers ?
Why not flex pipes, has to match the chrome tape and plexiglas windows
Sarcasm spoken here.
That's pepsiglass
Don’t cheap out with flextube exhaust
I get it…it looks cool
You can buy a set of Ford flat head headers.fits 1937/48 $160.00 Amazon.Whats up with the stove pipes?You lost me.
you are correct he did lose you!!
Had to FF this episode, the exhaust pipes are just awful 😢
I remember using this flex pipe back in the fifties. We used to split the manifolds and the flex pipe lasted about three months and then had be replaced.
lets start with the name association. Vic Edelbrock is the correct name your attempting.
No. It will be known from this day on as Bad Chad Flexible Exhaust Pipe. Greatness has it's privileges.
@varioushardcore😂🤣👍
Is that like Pepsis glass they installed for windows .lol
Omg dreadful .Great stuff,you never fail to louse up perfectly good hot rod projects .
There you GO !!! Knuckle Head garage at its finest. once again, let’s screw up the project with some sidewalk mechanic mentality !!! Unbelievable
Where to cut them off to make them look good?hmmmm wait I got it,cut them off at the manifold😎
@@TheToolgypsy That's funny.
Please explain again how this is your best chop ever!
Buy a set of ratchet wrenches! Drives me crazy watching you struggle with the wrong tools.
Header/ exhaust pipe length has a direct effect on performance. " Tuned headers" does not apply here. Come on guys cut that junk back. Repeating a bad decision don't make it a classic.
Started as best build yet then on to shit glass headers going from backyard builds to junk yard builds
Exactly. I really liked this car at first but it ain’t what it should have been
I've enjoyed every episode until this one ,the rush to have a visual constantly for the end of the episode detracts from.the whole programme and just leads to error after error ,I really enjoy the programme but had to turn off this evening as it became so cringe worthy, I'd rather the exhaust took 3 episodes and was done differently with more thought rather than the haphazard way that transpired 😢
Bull in a china shop, that’s his style?
You were okay with the episode last week where he willy-nilly cut down the vintage grill till it was garbage and still with no resolution? You want a laid-out design and plan? A sketch perhaps? That's for those rich, big-budget channel garages. This is the Great Bad Chad On-the-Fly!
@@varioushardcore he who fails to plan....
Because he can do whatever he wants, it’s allowed and it’s fun.. it’s a rod that he doesn’t want to spend money on. Some people just don’t get it.😮😮
@@joelav7222 They really don't at all. the whole thing goes right over their heads. it actually baffle's their minds.
Just think Chad I think you wanted to see how far you could go with the exhaust design to see how many viewers disliked it
Dear Jolene, I think you need to get a fast cut CNC table you could design parts for Chad builds. He’s obviously not gonna catch onto the programming but I’m sure it’s something you could do. It would be way to contribute to the build. I feel really strongly about this, I think you would do a fine job for instance the exhaust system currently being worked on you could hold all pipes together and fasten them to the body. With a very clean look.!’so contact fast cut CNC tables. I’m sure they would help you get started.
Bad idea and you spelled his name wrong.
Chad you really attracted the haters on this one and I am one of them 🤣🤣🤣
I would not be using flex for exhaust never!!! That's fucking ugly!! Use pipe to build that header!!!!
yes
yes
This is hotrod in its purest form. Using what you have and building what you want. Hows it ugly if it’s what makes him happy. He isn’t building it for you.
3 into one tail pipe. To keep off tires. Would make it look good.
And i thought the glass work installation was bad it just get worse!!!
Now. Now. You forgot the grill fiasco.
Welcome to Chads World, clusterfuck special
That's Pepsi glass!
Wait till they try to run that radiator
What you don't like Pepsi Glass . I'm not sure if it is legal to use for legal road safety check.?
This is almost as comical as watching him soldier.
To each his own... but that's about the dumbest looking exhaust I've ever seen! Just my opinion.
Cheer up Chad. Mama said there'll be days like this, there will be days like this, mama said.
Looks like $#:t, put some headers on it. That’ll be a rattling vibrating mess !
Here a clamp, there a clamp, everywhere a clamp clamp.😊
👍👍😉
Vic Elderbrock ……. too funny.😂
Coat hangers and hockey tape should be fine to secure the custom pipes and the reason being is
Facts!
Rocker Guard that sum-a-bits.
Oh yes! hockey tape, what's happened to that...🤔
You act like the car will be running and driving. It will never go down the road just like all the other cars. This one is no different.😅😂😊
No comment… Just belly laughs!
the bike hauler did, and that 50 ford is getting close. wait is all I say then speak
The flex pipe is SS. I have used it to build custom exhausts. Works good a lasts for years.
The appearance on this Rod is a judgement call after it is completed.
Chad will make it look the best.
Thank Chad for all of your sharing.
More lipstick on a pig, hose clamps, not u bolts!
It doesn’t even matter at this point. Gets worse every day
Those pipes look absolutely amazing. It makes the whole race car
The race car in the picture has stainless steel flexpipe exhaust. Last a lot longer. Your flexpipe is not stainless and will turn to rust and fall apart in no time and burn up
Coat hangers would hold them together. 🧐
Why not take the headers off the "Canning Kid" (your '32 Roadster) and then get Nathan to give you a hand to make duplicates for this build? Sorry, but I really think that flexible tubing will last 5 minutes once it gets heated up.
Boy I can see burnt legs right now
A guy has had too many wobble pops
Just a note iam sure there is so much more you could have done if start finishing stuff Nathan starts he might get bit fucked as I know I would you can't afford to live him as his a great asset to team he takes great pride in what he dose just my thoughts
Whatever makes you happy and have fun in the process
Everything is super, super strong until you add TORQUE, then things become super, super weak. Just saying.😊
sorry chad, i just cant get on board with those pipes. you are wasting a lot of good hard work you have put into the build so far. i understand building cheap but there is a point where it just looks way wrong. i would say you have reached it.
Hey chad, just run the exhaust inside the car, it will be nice and warm in the winter!
Maybe help with Chad's anxiety issues
Keep the lame comments to youself
I personally like the look. However, IMO a 45° cut at the rear would look better. Just an opinion. It's your car and your vision
He might keep cutting till they are too short or there's nothing left. I think he should have braided them.
That looks like crap
This build has taken a turn. The glass and these exhaust pipes are ruining it. Get a set of headers or make actual side pipes.
I honestly never remember ever seeing any flex pipe in bundles hanging off any cars .
Chad is talented enough to build headers that collect under tge fire wall and out the back .
Flex is high . Maybe the car gas to be kicked out the door .
With a little money the car could be pushed over the top .
I really love this build, it’s old school, the way it was, working with junkyard parts, no high-end parts or dollars, brings back memories . 😊
Exactly right there that comment
You could weld the flex to the header stubs, find some tube that fits over the outside of the flex,cut it inti 1" rings, like egg rings. they can be positioned into what ever lay out you desire, in a row or triangle. the rings can then be welded together. the pipes will be free to slide through the rings. would make it easier to bracket off frame sides.
they outlawed in the USA because it cracks under heat and allows carbon monoxide into the cabin,, so it gets rejection from safety inspections
Has a dry lake look to it. I like it. It's not a daily driver it's a drag car. One thing that could really set it apart.... put Jolene in it.
Thanks for sharing with us.
It’s annoying to watch bad design
NOOOOOOOOO……
Sorry Chad, but it looks ugly.
That's going be ugly
Only one thing uglier than a Flex pipe, and that's three!
Easy doesn't make it right
@@raystackon5113 it is not about being “easy”
It’s about being “nostalgic” era correct
He full well knows and understands it’s not a good exhaust and isn’t going to last etc…
He’s simply copying what he’s seen on a vintage original build to keep the theme going if the build
No once it heats up it'll match the car
@@Joe_M- vintage original plexiglass!
How about make a section of perforated heat shield where it crosses under the door kind of like what a Shelby Cobra exhaust does.
I like the long header idea just like chad made. If the flexible pipe dosen't work solid exhaust pipe will I wouldn't go without a one off custom exhaust like he came up with. Definitely wrap the pipes as much as possible with some of the piping exposed to give away what the exhaust is. Just grill fuel tank and wireing and that rockets ready for take off. Can't wait to see an inside veiw of the car driving.
THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DUMB IMHO!
CHEAP ASS FIX..
@@plumbkrazy810 Does not matter because it will never run
@@bftfcfua2946 Don't worry Super Nate will make it run, I would use the flex pipe off the manifolds and tie them into a 3 hole flange and weld it to a 3 inch straight pipe with a muffler included.
wrap the pipe with brass shim stock before the clamps, then tighten the clamps
Gates makes a hose clamp with convex washers back to back and put constant pre-load on the pipes. Plus they’re stainless steel and used on semi’s quite a bit for turbo hoses. They’re not cheap but they would be worth paying the money because they have constant pressure even if things settle in a little bit
I remember those early Edelbrock hot rod days. You have achieved the look! When the pipes get their patina, it will be perfect.
I can see that he is wearing a thog😂
Excite you? Looks like a belt loop to me. But I am no expert on thongs so I will believe you.
@@williamjesse7622 😅😅😂🤣🤪
@williamjesse7622 I had a girlfriend that had thong and I have been seeing that on her
Wait till they heat up a few times They will fall apart
I'm glad Doug didn't drop your grill.😂 Good way to burn your legs...
In my experience (decades ago) that flexhaust mostly just unraveled,seams opened up, wherever it could vibrate or flex between supports. There once was a flexible exhaust with stuff like asbestos in the spirals ( I dunno if it was asbestos BTW but,,,once it got heated several times it got ridgid and wasn't bad for use as exhaust and tail pipes.
Those so called exhaust pipes look terrible, sorry but true.
Major mistake to use flex pipe on this car or any car. Put a proper exhaust pipe on it.😮😮
I would have made some nice steal plates and put that drill press to work. Making 3 holes the pipes could have ran through. That way the pipes would hold straight after welding said plates to the chassis
That is one of the best exhaust systems I have ever seen on a flathead , I think that type of construction was used in the fifties so it's true to the era and just looks fantastic, of course the flathead V8 has the best sound of any V8 and I can't wait to hear it fire up for the first time. Job well done you and Jolene.
Its obvious you have never used flex exhaust, they get Red hot and bunching them together makes it worse. I'm sorry but that looks so amateur, and the time you used on the Hot mess you could have built real headers , a 3 in one pipe system. This car wouldn't even come of the 1940s category JALOPY Sorry this car was a waste of time and money, clad it was yours.
I'm shocked he didn't use a coat hanger and tie it to the door hinge...LOL
Research and know-how aren't for innovators like the Great Bad Chad. Down the road, they'll be selling it as Bad Chad Flexible Exhaust and you'll be first in line at O'Reilly Auto Parts to buy it if you know what I'm tryin' to tell ya.
@@varioushardcore Not likely I build traditional hot rods,. I love Chad, but he always says build with what you have, well this Junker had a lot to buy to make it a Junker. But it looks like fun!!!!!!!
That exhaust is good for a laugh.
Please don't let everyone's negative comments bother you, I myself have used flexible exhaust pipe for several years when I was first starting out driving because of the affordability of the pipe. I always had very good luck with it for daily drivers and it last for a long time , and did not leak at all until it started wearing through. From my experience the clamp placement is very important because if the clamp isn't completely over top of the solid pipe underneath you can actually cut through the flex pipe when tightening.
That stuff njot cheap im surprised he bought it ...
Just love the look of the build, can't wait to see you run down the track.
Thanks for the content love watching the build
Are you going to the metal work on the inside of the windshield area or is that done ???
This is a horrible idea for the exhaust. Bend exhaust pipe make a 3 into 1. I like most of your work, but to end this one with this exhaust is just bad!
Looks like sewer pipe
The flexible tube is quick and easy but it does have that result and look sorry Chad
About 75 years ago I saw a '32 Ford High Boy modification made by Roof Engineering. One of the mods that I notices, was the four exhaust pipes. They were made with the middle exhaust ports each feeding two pipes. The inside and outside exhaut ports were formed into single header and each fed the remaining two pipes. I don't remember what kind of muffers it had, but it was quiet.
Hey Chad, keep doing what makes you happy. You do more in a month than what most do in a lifetime. Onya mate !
Chad looks great. Make some clamps out of motorcycle chain. Use your idea. You probably didn’t even know you said it. I like the chain link idea for a hanger. Thanks for the video Jolene.
Ok That’s just ridiculous now. Everyone should unsubscribe maybe he’ll come back as a car builder and not someone who just wants RUclips money. Sell the vet and get some shop supplies and a workbench.
