brainstorming the intake runners and was wondering how to roll the end of the runner over like a velocity stack? anyone have ideas? thank you

 

Hydraulic press.

 

haha, last night i wa standing in the shop with the runners in my hand, just staring at the hydraulic press and i was like "nah wouldnt work" damn, thank you. do you have any pics of that? can you give me some instructions

 

Metal spinning, hydro forming, or CNCing out of a rather large billet.

 

Or

 

is that just aluminum tubing that is used as fuel line?

Pretty sure someone made a typo in the post.

 

PM me the secret....

 

Secret? seems pretty straight forward.

 

No secret really....just wonderin how he rolled the stock is all.

 

if u talked to some metal spinning place, im sure u could get em made for pretty cheap. it doesnt take long

I'm sure its not going to be cheap at all

 

Depends how thick you want them. 16ga. aluminum is very easy to work with and wouldn't cost much to have done. Anything much thicker would pretty much have to be billet.

 

I will try that out.

 

they made that "circle" from wrapping it around a piece of 2" schedule 40 pipe

 

Oh wow, never thought of doing those circle like that!! I was planning to head around town loooking for them bastards. Good info

 

you could just use these, http://www.velocity-of-sound.com

everybody loves the cheaper method of getting them done. Sadly not up to par in quality, but works.

 

What is not "up to par" on those stacks? (I have not used those before)
I see that some are listed as ~2mm thick. Also they appear straight tapered, rather than hyperbolic from the base to the bellmouth.

 

I like the velocity sound like any other places for stacks like that?

 

im about to order some from that website, so ill let you know what they look like once i get them
