Where to buy rounds aluminum rings for velocity stacks?
Hey all,
Dont start threads much, but figured someone here may be able to help me. I am in need of some sort of aluminum round circles to cap off a set of velocity stacks. I am making a pan that sits inside a hoodscoop, which is just below the top of the velocity stacks, but I dont want the stacks to flare out, but instead have a nice curve to them to direct the airflow into the stacks.
The stacks currently just flare outwards, so I need something to comeplete that flare, and come back down. I have seen a couple guys on here using velocity stacks that seem to already have the round ring already machined on the end of them. Anyone know where I can buy just the rings, or some cheap stacks that I can cut the top off of to use as the rings.
These are 3.125" velolcity stacks by the way if that matters....
Thanks!
Kyle

i believe a muffler shop can do flares exactly like that.

Re: (preveink)
yeah i tried that a while back (just the pressing part to get a flare not from 1.5" to 2") with sch 40 aluminum and it was not happening. that stuff is way to thick to try and flare with out spinning it. i got a slight flare out of them but nothing extreme.
