All I'm waiting for now is a matching air pipe from the ISV!

Looks nice, did it cost much to make? Might be interested in one for mine!! :grin:
-
are you planning these as a wee side earner??
a mandrel bend in it would have improved airflow
-
I did ask about getting it mandrel bent, but although they said they (Dad and Bro!) could get it done they would have to call in favours and it would start costing! - Bummer!
I'm more that happy with the quality of the maching and welding it really is top notch as you can see. It will certainly out live the car!
Its machined from stainless and Tig welded. I did ask about how much they would run too, and it would be expensive, it is not the sh|te you would be able to buy - I doubt anyone would want one at the price tbh!
But it looks cool and sounds fab!!
PS it cost me nowt! :grin: :grin: :grin:
-
is it actually a wider diameter than the std item or just like for like?
i remember picking one up of ebay that was mandrel bent but was also a bigger diameter. it was a f**ker to try & get on. spent about 30mins at it. sliced my hand on it, cursed at it then stamped on it in anger & through it in the bin
-
just the same size OD, but polished inside, so hopefully better air flow than std.
I'm more concerned that it looks cool! :wink:
