Smile Uses for that extra exhaust.

I figured out something one can do with that extra OEM exhaust many of us have lying around.

For less than $30 I turned mine into a motion activated garage light. I can also use the exhaust still as this“MOD” requires no changes being made to the exhaust. The first photo is of the basic parts used, which can be found at any Home Depot. After installing the light sockets and attaching the wires I just hung the exhaust from three hooks and plugged it in. I just need to re-route the wire but it was not hard to do and I have something Unique

Not bad! Pretty creative. I was going to weld a base to the bottom of the inlet pipe and make a candle holder! No pictures available yet...

Somebody has WAY too much spare time. But I'm just jealous. Oh, and the light is pretty cool too.

That's awesome... too creative to be thought of sober though : )

Mine is also hanging from my garage ceiling above my wife's Exploder on a big shelf I built to store the pool equipment in the winter. I was wondering what I'd do with it this fall when I have to put the pool stuff back- I think you've answered that one :D

Neat idea but it looks kind of hickish just hanging there with two lightbulbs poking out of it. Creative though, but I wouldn't do it.

More hickish than having the front power seats from a 1972 Lincoln Mark IV in your apartment connected to a car battery and functional? That was my “ living room set” when I first moved away from home :D
