Default second attempt at charge piping....

hello everybody.

i replaced my intake manifold to a zc intake so i had to make a new upper charge pipe. this time i made it smaller.... it was 2.5" and now i used 2".

sorry but i grinded the welds for that clean look

mocking it up:



need some paint.... but thats it



ps... i have a question...

lets say that you'r not a fabricator and you need charge pipes.... would you buy from me? (cleaner grinds+paint)

Are you using a MIG welder? Why are you grinding the welds?

why are you building your charge pipes without the turbo already mounted?? you'll probably have to modify them again once you get the turbo on...

For that upper charge pipe, im pretty sure you could've just use straight pipe, instead of that slight curve, Its much cleaner like that and less complication.
