Are the exhaust pipes water cooled? I remember Ken Nissen telling me about issues with 658 when they were trying to get her up and running. The original type pipes were not avail so I am sure would have had to have been custom made for the purpose.

Yes the originals were water cooled these are custom built ceramic insulated with a black cover and bands to resemble the original. Some of the cover are not installed as we are just fitting and fabricating brackets and braces.
