Gibson performance has always had pure dedication to provide the exhaust industry with superior quality systems, featuring both maximum performance and enhanced torque. The designs are innovated from year to year, based on the research and development determining the necessities of modern vehicles. Their sole responsibility is to improve and build up new systems, accessing the greatest range and superbly-engineered systems.

Their modern "Slip Fit" connections play a role in the reduction of back pressure and even out turbulence. Moreover, the zinc-plated, factory-style hangers promise you a stress-free, bolt-on design. Lastly, getting to the reliability statement, Gibson Exhaust Systems are 50-state Street legal and are expertly developed in the USA. Above all, you get a Lifetime Warranty.

The dyno-proven steel have been perfectly developed to boost the overall auto system's energy and to maintain about 10-20 horsepower and 15-20 ft lbs of torque. The systems are completely custom-designed and dyno-tuned for each year, make and model car. The main responsibility of the exhaust system is to enhance the towing, acceleration and engine competence. The superbly designed and chambered Super Flow muffler accompanying the exhausts systems ensures a clean and straight-through flow. Most importantly, your car doesn't have to deal with any back pressure or harsh noise. All you get is a clear growl and highly improved fuel economy. When it comes to the quality, the system is completely mandrel bent in order to access a clear and free exhaust flow. The finishing of the brilliantly polished T-304 stainless steel tip, adds further elegance to the entire system. Then, there is this heavy-duty aluminized steel that has been used for the construction of your Gibson Exhaust System, making it more competent in terms of both performance and appearance.

For more information, I'd definitely recommend researching Gibson Exhaust and Gibson Exhaust Systems for your car or truck.

Valve installation profiles, valve installation and maintenance guide

SOLDERING AND SILVER BRAZING
¡¡¡¡Analyze the application to determine which valve is best suited for installations, keeping in mind the service for which the valve is recommended. Before installing the correct valve, review the installation instructions to prevent damage to the valve and to assure its maximum efficiency.

1.Cut tube end square. Ream, burr and size.

2. Use sand cloth or steel wire brush to clean both ends to a bright metal finish. Steel wool is notrecommended.

3. Apply flux to outside of tube and inside of solder cup. Surfaces to be joined must be completely covered. Use flux sparingly.

4.Be sure that valve is fully open. Apply heat to tube first. Transfer as much heat as possible through tube into valve. Avoid

prolonged heating of valve itself.
5.Silver Brazing Method: Assemble parts to be brazed. If fluxed parts are allowed to stand, the water in the flux will evaporate, and dried flux is liable to flake off, exposing metal surfaces to oxidation. Assemble joint by inserting tube into socket hard against the stop. The assembly should be firmly supported so that it will remain in alignment during the brazing operation.
¡¡¡¡NOTE: On one-inch and larger valves, it is difficult to bring the whole joint up to temperature at one time. It will frequently be found desirable to use a double-tip torch to maintain the proper temperature over the larger area. A mild pre-heating of the whole socket area is recommended. Apply heat to parts to be joined. The preferred method is by oxy-acetylene flame. Heat tube first, beginning one inch from edge of valve. Sweep flame around tube in short strokes up and down at right angles to run of tube. To avoid burning through tube, the flame should be in continuous motion and not allowed to remain on any one point.
Apply flame to valve at base of socket. Heat uniformly, sweeping flame from valve to tube until flux on valve becomes quiet. Avoid excessive heating of valve.

¡¡¡¡When flux appears liquid and transparent on both tube and valve, start sweeping flame back and forth along axis of joint to maintain heat on parts to be joined, especially toward base of valve socket.

6. Use just enough solder: with wire solder, use 3/4" for a 3/4" valve, etc. If too much solder is used, it may flow past tube stop and clog sealing area. When joint is filled, a continuous run of solder or brazing alloy will be visible.

7. Silver Brazing Method: Apply brazing wire or rod at point where tube enters valve socket. Keep flame away from rod or wire as it is fed into the joint. Move flame back and forth as alloy is drawn into joint. When the proper temperature is reached alloy will flow readily into space between tube outer wall and valve socket. When joint is filled, a continuous rim of brazing alloy will be visible.

8. Remove excess solder with small brush while plastic, leaving a fillet around end of valve as it cools.

SILVER BRAZING¡¡¡¡

¡¡¡¡The strength of a brazed joint does not vary appreciably with the different brazing materials, but depends to a large extent upon the maintenance of proper clearance between the outside of the tube and the valve socket. The interior dimensions of silver brazing valve sockets are machined to the closest tolerances and finished smooth to promote full capillary attraction.
¡¡¡¡NOTE: Care should be observed in cleaning and in removing residues of the cleaning medium. Attempting to braze a contaminated or improperly cleaned surface will result in an unsatisfactory joint. Silver brazing alloys will not flow over or bond to oxides. Oily or greasy surfaces repel fluxes, leaving bare spots which oxidize and result in voids and inclusions.

THREADING

¡¡Grit, dirt or any foreign matter accumulated in the pipe can hinder efficient valve operation and seriously damage vital valve parts. Thoroughly clean pipe internally with air or steam.
¡¡¡¡When threading pipe, gauge pipe threads for size and length to avoid jamming pipe against seat and disc. Thoroughly clean threaded end to remove any harmful steel or iron deposits. For a good joint, use teflon tape or pipe dope. If pipe dope is used, apply sparingly on pipe threads, neveron valve threads. Do not allow any pipe dope into valve body in order to avoid damage to disc and seat.
¡¡¡¡Before installation, check line of flow through valve so that valve will function properly. Close valve completely before installation. Apply wrench to hex next to pipe and guard against possible distortion. After installation of valve, support line; a sagging pipe line can distort valve and cause failure.

FLANGED
¡¡¡¡There are several steps to follow to make sure that a flanged joint will be properly assembled. First, clean the joint carefully. Then loosely assemble the joint by putting in the bottom two or three bolts. Then carefully insert the gasket into place. The bottom bolts will help locate the gasket and hold it in position. Then insert the rest of the bolts into place and tighten all of the bolts evenly-not in rotation, but by the cross-over method to load the bolts evenly and eliminate concentrated stresses. The bolts should be checked for tightness after an appropriate interval of use and retightened if nec .

Looking for long length stainless steel hex bolts.... Can you help?

I am trying to locate a source or manufacturer of
long-length stainless steel hex bolts...
They also would have a screw end to add a nut to tighten
& anchor down material.
The bolts would be either 1/4 to 3/8 inch diameter.
And they would be either 12 inches to 18 inches long...
(Again has to be made of stainless steel)

Anyone knows of a manufacturer out there or a source
in the USA/Canada where one get these particular type
of long length bolt??

- - - - - -
I should have said the bolts are 10 inches to 16 inches long.
(Still they have to be stainless steel)

You are not very likely to find off the shelf bolts that long. I would suggest looking for stainless steel threaded rod in the thread size and pitch you require and put a washer and nut on each end. You can get threaded rod in 3-4ft lengths which can be cut to length with a hack saw. File a chamfer on the end to help with threading on the nuts. McMaster Carr, Spaenaur, carry it for sure, and many fastener supply houses should also.

Good luck,
Al
