how the hell you get that bullshit?

that's pretty much a simple 90, it could have been done in one piece. i mean, sure it looks cool...but i don't see how anyone would think of it being cooler than just a regular bend that's just/more functional, cheaper, and easier.

ricer welds...how sad

 

and dont forget, mandrel bends flow air better than jdm bends
It has been proven. I will admit they jdm bends do look nice

who in teh expletive do you think you are?

 

if i could use a 1 piece 90 in the same space instead of the pie cuts id rather do that. sometimes you have no choice though

very true, there was a 6 million dollar project being worked on, and they wanted to pie cut the 6inch inlet into the unit, when we did the math it flowed 40% less than a smooth transition.

but it looks pimp

You know what. I don't think you belong in this forum. keep the bullshit out or go post in appearance and cosmetic where you belong.

why? because i'd much rather have function over form? waaaaa

 

how long do you think that portion of the DP took you? ive done a few pie put peices for people by request....takes forever cutting and filing down all the peices!!

 

it was more of a practice exercise than anything. I wanted to practice my stainless welding, but I also wanted to work on something that would be productive. Plus my bends are another 4 days out... so I decided wtf go for it. Only time this skill becomes practical is when you're using 4" stainless...where a u bend is 107 bucks.

Joe it took me about 3 hours start-finish.

Yes Id rather buy a bend...yes a bend is better...no im not a ricer...yes I like to weld. Appreciate it for what it is and look no further into it.

 

hey, it's cool and it looks good. i deff wasn't knocking your skills in the LEAST...i just get tired of ppl seeing pie welds and acting like they're the coolest damned thing EVER...

 

haha yea my guess was 2-3 hours. cut on a chop saw? 4 inch stuff isnt cheap...i just did a 4 inch exhaust for an RX7. luckily i didnt have to do any pie cuts...it takes a long time to tig around a 4 inch pipe!!

looks good though. i like your idea of learning and being productive at the same time. i think i built 3 turbo kits for my car before i even put a real motor in it. each one i made came out better than the last so i just kept starting over. i probably wasted a lot of time and money but it was worth it haha

Are you joking or seriously this dumb?
This guy posted pictures of some his fabriction and you're saying he's acting like the coolest thing ever? Do you even know why people use pie cuts? Let me ask one more time, are you sure you're not joking?

RTEarnie, looks really nice
Ignore the troll above.

 

Very nice sir!

Dont forget to clean up the welds/polish wire bursh whatever! It will help prevent corrosion.. (which is the idea behind stainless right?)

Colours are for ricers

chill back fu-ckface; what the hell is your problem

sectioned bends are the farthest thing from rice you can get nimrod; looks like YOU aren't the one good at reading; i even said they look very function over form.

You need some medicine you crazy fu-ck

Well, I guess the second one is just an opinion, but it's an incorrect conclusion because they're form over function in all but the tightest of spots.

if you're doing crazy bends or dont want to fight with pre-bent mandrel bends they're very much function over form. I used two on my setup because my DP had to bend very tightly and no mandrels would fit; same story by the oil pan

 

I was going to purge it, but Laziness forced me to just do it. I only burned through in a few spots...I'll clean them up with the die grinder later.
