- On this episode we finalise our custom stainless exhaust system. With the 3 cylinder Radial motor playing a base to work from we decided to split each pipe into two creating 6 individual pipes out the back. Custom flared tail pipes add that small aircraft theme. Simple exhaust mounts and a complete purge welded system will help keep this machine singing for along time.

Mufflers? We don’t need no stinkin mufflers! This is an amazing work of art and I can’t wait to hear it run.
Spoiler: you won’t hear it at the end of the video
thank you, disliked the video
😂Thanks for saving 0,5h of my life 😅
I'm frickin dying to hear that thing lol, maybe next episode?
Outstanding! The attention to precision and respect for the art is just humbling! Said this before, this isn't an exhaust, this is pure art! The Herculean effort in this fabrication is awe inspiring! An incredible motor was just raised to another level by a mind blowing, bespoke exhaust! Leave the welds, don't polish it (the history of the fab needs show casing). Josh cameos...multiple drinks! (my '46 Business Coupe is never gonna get finished...I blame Josh!). The new approach to the videos/editing/music/production is outstanding! Go Bennetts Customs, keep moving forward! Sorry for being so wordy, but his was just blissful content that made my day.
Thank you so much Murdoc, always means a great deal to read such inspiring comments, it’s what keeps us excited to create this stuff! Josh says hi! 👋
I cannot wait to hear it running. Superb fabrication of a tight fitting exhaust system. Best wishes to you and your family. I like the way josh reacted by lifting his mits. Put em up! Put em up.
Thank you Tim!
You won't believe how happy I am to see you running 2 angle grinders!
It was doing my head in watching you constantly swap discs.
Game changer. I used too always have two going but broke one and never replaced it
Looks wonderful! Can't wait to hear it!
The exhaust was worth every bit of extra hard work for how good it looks that looks special. You cannot compare that to the three single exhaust into the muffler, as whoever was saying that something you could’ve got away, with but would’ve never looked as tough as the 6 trumpets out the back👍👍
I agree with yeah!
You should look into a weld passivation set up. Magic for cleaning up purged welds.
For a bloke who says he is not good stainless welder, those weld look great to me.
Learning everyday!
Good welders are never satisfied with their work, which is why they continue to be the best ! 😁👍🏼
Im pretty new to this Channel.
Your skills as well as your eye for the design is outstanding. Looking forward to see and learn more...
You out did yourself there. Brilliant!
That looks absolutely stellar, you sir are an absolute artist. Can't wait till you start it up for the first time. So glad Kyle brought you into my life.. you two could make some awesome bespoke modern classic card togheter. Oh and if you don't follow Make it kustom, you're sleeping.
Thanks a bunch!
That is a sweet piece of industrial art...top stuff, my dude!
Thank you kindly!
Really nice piece of work...
Outstanding work of art! Take care
My back hurts just watching you weld all those pipes together! How many hours of welding was that?
Really like the rubber cushioned pipe couplers.
It would help if you would post a link for items like this. I want a $50 chamfering tool, too!
I purchased it off Temu- but I know Amazon have them too!
Luar biasa Bro proses pembuatan knalpot VW COMBI.👍👍
You are one sick ticket! I can relate 😅. And the camera person…. Birds of a feather 😂
It looks fucking wild. can't wait to hear it ripping
Work of art!!!
Karl Fisher, you little legend.
Amazing work 😎👍🏽
I couldn’t see it but now I do
Looks spectacular can’t wait to hear what it sounds like 👍👍
Love it, cool as hell.
Very KOOL Jordan and Great idea putting that V band in it
Gonna be a flying machine
The fitment on those pipes is bar none.it definitely weld's better that way... what a great job
Nice work on the pipes Jordan excellent attention to detail again, I seen Karl using one of those chamfer tools recently and I thought that it was a useful bit of kit so I found them online (Temu)and have one on its way, I have seen the industrial versions before but the price tags were too steep for occasional use so the pnuematic one will do. Cheers Greg
Beautiful work😊
Amazing talent and quite the artist. I can't wait to see it running.
You and me both! I’ll wear ear plugs for both of us
Work of art, exceptional job.
Bennets customs gem!.
Thankyou Daryl
Fantastic work......speechless, and envious ! 😁👍🏼
Very cool! Nice weld job!
What a great team
I saw Bill Hines, legendary car customizer, do that to a roloc disc for shaping his leaded in his frenched in antennas.
Just works so well.
Not to discount your abilities cause the work is flawless with a high cool factor but my question is, isn't a merged collector more efficient than individual pipes in a NA engine? I drove a 64 from 79 to 85, had a 100 hp dual port with 88's and a small cam, could do a hundred mph! Taught myself all my mechanical abilities from the experience, engines, transmissions, old school electrical. Fond days gone by....thanks
From portugal great hork and a beatfeald video.
Well done.
Gantrantulancions.
Helder from portugal
that chamfering tool at 31:23 is either a copy of a Nhitto Khoki or a Dynabrade Both of which are made in japan.. the copys tend to wear out fast and have cheap motors.. the Nhitto Khoki ones are very expensive but last forever and take a beating.. i say this as a person who spent 20yrs repairing pneumatic tools and ive worked on tons of models and makes. imo if you use it a lot the Nhitto Khoki one is worth buying or finding a used one an rebuilding it .. parts are easy to get here in the states.
Hey Jordan, I can see a bigger workshop, show room, will be in your near future. Oh to have the money. Loving this creation.
Yes the dream! We are moving soon! Double the space- fresh walls, fresh space, fresh ideas!
That back lid, louvers are nice but what about painting the engine bay in satin black and having the back lid with an oval split window like the bugs and have that polished engine been seen from outside.
Actually was thinking a tinted red acrylic with louvers! Just need to figure how
You really should be using filler on all the welds. Where ever was brazed “no filler” will be prone to cracking. Otherwise great attention to detail and amazing craftsmanship!
Yes you are correct!
Looking good, but to me, just a bit overdone. Three exhausts would have been fine, but glad to see someone could afford to have you build it.
Yup totally fair, it would have forsure. But we need to try there things sometimes!
Start it up!!! 🆒😎👍
Absolutely fab!!!
Since the beginning, I have this only one question: how the upper cylinder will cool down?
It’s water cooled
@@bennettscustomsco with all these cooling fin? ok, but the watercooled engine from radialmotion are not this one (oil doesn't cool enough)...
Anyway, you make great videos, keep up the good work.
Nice very nice, I have built stainless exhaust systems and can relate to your back pain. What are the tailights you are using?
Thanks Vern- they are 46 Ford!
Question how is that going to keep cool enough with not having a fan like original VW engine ? and its not running in the Air stream like if it was in a plane ? just asking for a friend 😂😁🤘🤘🤘
Water cooled!
Splitting the exhaust at each head is just for artistic purposes? From my understanding of headers, you’re not gaining any power advantage?
Not much advantage really. Just looks and sound
The advantage is that people think you have 6 cylinders,not 3.still have more power than needed,and the mind games
So, WHY didn't you just do the banner as a t-shirt? It is so waaay cool!
Hi Jordan good job wondering how its going to get enough air to cool it not like in a plane with a prop cheers Mick
Hey Mick- she’s water cooled
Howdy from Georgia, Stateside. Really enjoy your work. Q: I see you and Carl Fisher both using that yellow paper tape a lot. Is that just yellow masking tape, or something more substantial? Keep up the great work!
Please please I need to hear this
Whats the cold outside tune?
Cool I'm first 😁🇬🇸👍
You’re bound to beat me. Look how far mine has to travel🤣🏴 Tim the Pom.
start it up don't need mufflers
all that and after the install you didn't start it?WTH !
👍🏼👍🏼
A pound to a pinch if shit my factory standard engine will still be running in 10 years and 10 000 miles and that engine won't.
😉👌
This may look nice but it would be way way more practical, affordable and serviceable to stick a v8 in it....
👌👏👏👏👏
so fucking crazy
👍✌️👏👌💯❤️♥️
👎👎
bye bye bye geniuuuuusssssssssssssssssssss!!!
G'day, mate.
Nice sound affects you have there at 26:15. Is that the clearing of the nasal cavities I hear? Very classy.😂
The exhaust system looks fab, just one teeny tiny thing, if I may?
This whole exhaust system was your homage to the Air Force, airmemen in particular, correct? The brave men who flew 12 cylinder engines in planes of a particular style in WWII. Those brilliant men in their flying machines 🧐 shouting 'tally ho' as the quarry was sighted and they flew, shooting their bullets, zip, zoosh, ping, ting, to down the enemy. 🫡
Planes that had the Merlin and later in the war, the Griffin engines, they were used in Spitfires, Hurricanes, and Mustangs that had the six exhaust stacks protruding down each side of the engine covers where flames could be seen.
Therefore, my question is this.
Why didn't you go the whole hog and show the six rounded exhaust stacks poking through your bumper, instead of having them positioned underneath it? In my opinion, all VW exhausts under the bumper look 5hit.
If you had them just like they were on the planes, where you could see six on each side protruding through the panels but having your six, just as they are, in the same formation, see what i did there? 🤭 protruding through your bumper instead of under it, now that really would look brilliant.👏
Trust me, its not too late to change them. There is plenty of space to do it, and it will look brilliant. I know because I've done it and mine look brilliant! That's what I've been told, but I must agree. 😁
I've seen busses with four stacks protruding through the bumpers. I've seen stacks the type that trucks use, which are 8 feet tall, sticking out of the roof of the bus.😲 So why not have six out of a bumper? After all, there is plenty of room, like I said, between the brackets. You could even fit 12 stacks, like those from a jaguar.🤔
I have a fully rebuilt 1996 Jaguar XJS 6L with a BHP of 334 (the last of its series and the best) with oversized pistons, skimmed head, and polished cams. You name it, it's had the lot done to it. Now, wouldn't that be brilliant to fit a V12 6L engine in a bus with its own gearbox and racing tuned?
Ok, you would probably have to lose the entire rear compartment, making it a 2 seater. Or just turn it a full 180° then design a new drive system. Crazy man, crazy. That's the beauty of customising. You can do almost anything you want to, if you have the imagination and money, of course. Pass me another J, please bubbles. 🤪
Having them stick out as they are now will only cause you problems. Scraping on the ground for one, even ripping parts off. It's the same issue when using the standard silencer box with one stack because they are much too low. Mine was always catching on humps and ramps, but no more.
VW designed a good bus and engine, but man, the guy who designed the position of the silencer must have been either drunk, stonned, or the idea was conceived last minute on a Friday afternoon! He must have thought, "5hit, I must get home to the wife on time tonight. I can't work late again, or else she'll have my guts for garters."
Who in their right mind designed the box that low, jeees, they should have been sacked. I've seen a bus with the silencer midway forward underneath the back seats, and then the stack pipe poked out to one side. That looked cool, too.
Guess what? There's video's on CZcams showing the type of damage you can expect with low stack pipes and how to avoid it happening in the future. 😂
Tonge n cheek humour over now. Let's get to serious business, but I'll come back to the stacks in a moment with something important to say.
I'm looking forward to seeing your bus finished. Then, I can pick and choose which ideas of yours to use on my 1966 bus, which is still in the fabrication stage of converting it into a safari, just like Kona the Bus. That's what gave me the idea after seeing the roof completely cut off of Kona and a brand new safari one welded on. Have you heard of it?
MicBergsma, that's his channel. He has a whole playlist on Kona on his bus from the moment he purchased it to the day it's almost finished. His name is Michael, and he's deaf, but don't worry, he speaks but sometimeshes he's difficult to understand, but he is very considerate person. He puts up subtitles for when he talks, but his partner and everyone else in the workshop talk, which you will understand.
Brilliant playlist and journey of how the bus was rebuilt from scratch. I got so many ideas from watching Mic and the team, and my parts list grew bigger, too. Anything I couldn't purchase in the UK or make myself, I got over land and sea using his contacts, which are shown at the beginning of every video. There are so many indorsements and recommendations. He's a popular CZcamsr.
After its chemical bath, my bus, not Kona's, I haven't named my bus yet. There was much more filler (bondo in the USA) than I had expected. Filler that my magnet didn't detect, which meant more bloody fabrication to do and a better magnet.
Karls channel, 'Make it Kustom', your mate, which I subscribe to and who put me on to you the day you both worked on the front grill, remember it? Well, he has given me some cracking ideas too, as have you. So, don't be disheartened or angry from the comments I make about you, just my warped sense of humour. You do some cracking work, and your talent for seeing things in your minds eye before you even lay a hand on metal, that's brilliant.
Yeh, we say brilliant a lot in the UK rather than awesome, which I know you are used to. Awesome this, awesome that, everything in the USA is awesome, day and night? Well wouldn't you know it, the man's a poet. 😂
Think about the bumper idea. Trust me, you won't regret it. I have a 2016 flat four cylinder Porch Boxter engine ready to go back in my bus, which is fully tuned using a racing dyno. Once the bodywork is finished, of course.
I purchased the engine as an insurance write-off for £2,800 but it's worth £8,000+ all day long. I've already finished mocking it up in situ. Once the bus is up and running I just need to inform the insurance company that all the works on the engine have been done, and then the price goes back up to eight grand. Brilliant. 😂
Designing the verious mounts was a big challenge as I did it all the old school way with Oxy-gas, a hammer, and a vice because i don't own a plasma table, not yet anyway. You can't just weld to sheet metal, as you know.🫣
It was a headache trying to mould the rebuilt floor panels around the gearbox, too, with the different linkages and other obsticals along the tunnel. I copied Mark Stainbourghs ideas. He used many on his bus like angling my pipes around the engine so that there are two stacks on each side of the bumper. I went a little more extreme by pushing mine further out at the ends so that one is on the curve. It was also a challenge but not as difficult it seems as the work you put into your pipes!😬 half of mine are hidden inside the bumper.
Mark is a Canadian engineer like myself who now works primarily on HGVs. He has a channel where he teaches basic HGV diesel mechanics, giving away tips and tricks of the trade to newbies, students, or anyone who's interested who get that little bit extra content from being a patreon subscriber.
The 1968 safari is his own bus, his own creation that he has been working on for 7 years, and that's just the fabrication. When you see it you will not recognise it. I'm sure of that because what that man has done to his bus is truly, bonkers but brilliantly done. He has so much imagination that it's unrealistic unrecognisable apart from the front. He kept the bus look with the distinctive V trimming and VW emblem. Everything else is soooo different, so unique, so him.
He poked the stacks through the bumper in the middle, which looked nice, and even with them being centralised as they are. They look like the four stacks on the twin turbo PAGANI. Like me, he had his body chemically stripped, but his bodywork was in far better shape than mine was as his came from California. There is much less rain there than here in the UK.😁
Not long now to go before all my fabrication is complete. I guesstimate the end of this summer, and I can start thinking of paint. Ummm, ooooo, aaaaah, what colour should I paint it. Don't be silly. I'll get the professionals to paint my bus. I think Derp Purple with Ivory roof and sides down to were the windows meet the lower panels.
I'm thinking of having something called undertone sketching. It's where you have your paint job colour but deep fown there is another colour of an animal say. I want a Japanese dragon. The dragon painted in black.
You look from one direction and see nothing but purple paint but look from the other direction and you see the dragon flowing the entire length of the bus. I saw a similar paint job on a Ford truck when i traveled across America back in the early 90s.
How it's done. I have no idea, but the guy I've got to paint my bus knows everything. He knows how it's done. Once you know its not that difficult, he said. It's all to do with light and how you view it. It's similar to a rainbow. You see, it then you point it out to a friend standing 10 feet away but he can't see it, not until he moves a little and then you are both looking at it in the same spectrum. Spooky stuff man.🤘 ⚒️ 🏴
I wasted all that time and you didn't even fire it up, WHAT A FUCKING RIP.
