Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Am I right in saying that copper gives off a toxic gas at high (car exhaust) temperatures? I'm sure a 2CV'er I knew yonks ago had a copper exhaust and mentioned something about it being illegal due to gases given off.

I'm sure a 2CV'er I knew yonks ago had a copper exhaust and mentioned something about it being illegal due to gases given off. Most of the gasses coming from the exhaust aren't particularly healthy  But it could possibly get more toxic because of the forming of copper sulfate. Choices for copper could be because of the sound or appearance, i don't care how well it could sound, i wouldn't want a copper exhaust on any of my cars, if it was free.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds A quick Google reveals that £20 or so buys a 3m length anyway.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds £200 for some bent copper pipe is taking the piss. If it was a full exhaust polished for a show car the. £200 is good value. I could make them for half what that clown is asking btw, if anybody wants to waste some money...

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds the pipe isn't even bent, just a solder joint, locked with a screw

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds Probably something to do with resonance.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds i made two copper pipes for a bsa 650 i owned a million years ago they looked really good with the slash-cut ends but needed polishing often as they went dull quickly

I could make them for half what that clown is asking btw, if anybody wants to waste some money... its not even bent its just 1 1/2" a yorkie 45 and 1 1/22- 1 1/14" reducer as for cost ....can be expensive our suplier wanted £90 for an end feed T in 1 1/2"  had to shop around the tube comes in 3m lengths so there's going to be a fair bit of waste , copper never hangs about in the recycling bins for long on closer inspection Oh FFS! a pop riveted solder fitting Edited edit and its 2" so fookin exspensive........still a pointless exercise in both plumbing and automotive eingineering.
