Nice! Much easier than trying to hold everything together with tape, hose clamps or tack welds! A couple things to consider that might make things easier... - There are short radius 45 degree ells available for purchase, but there does not seem to be a provision for this bend angle in the system? - Include the center line length on the 15 and 30 degree angle blocks for quick reference so you don't have to do the math - Include the angle on the 1" center line blocks for quick reference so you don't have to do the math
Why are ppl using schedule 40 pipe for exhausts!? That shit is so heavy! Do these kits match tubing dimensions too, or is this specific to using pipe, aka, the wrong product for the job?
It is actually schedule 10 pipe material and this is intended strictly for turbo manifold applications where exhaust temperatures are higher and can actually burn and melt through thin wall tubing. We sell kits for using standard thin wall tubing material in standard header and exhaust applications as well and similar videos for those kits will be coming out over the next few months.
Icengineworks has spent a lot of time and R&D to see what builders are using and why. Part of the reason for builders using the cast pipe is that elbows are available in centerline radius that are far tighter than what is capable for the same OD of mandrel bend tubing therefore helping builders when space doesn't allow for larger radius mandrel bent tubing. If you would like more explanation on the use of the cast pipe we can put you in contact with Victor who is the engineer, designer, and owner of Icengineworks. let me know
What an elegant way to model complex tubing structures!
i agree and it save a lot of time
Looks cool, good luck reaching no.5 plug.

@@TrickTools Go inconel if your exh is burning through, heavier is never the solution.

@@TrickTools Can Victor tell me the consequences of using tighter radius bends in a system thats supposed to be optimized for flow?
He sure can!
