yes i will put one up tomorrow it was about 400-450 but it works like a champ..

Is that a cast aluminum elbow on the IC hotside endtank?
Pretty good for your third time welding AL.

Piping looks great, esp since you made it all yourself.
But I just have to let you know about restrictions of sharp angles & such. To sum it up, three 45* bends will create the same restriction as one 90* bend, given the same radius for all bends and equal piping distance. In other words, it might actually flow better with slightly longer piping that uses larger-radius bends, and it seems like you have the space. Please don't think I'm thread-crapping though. I barely have the funds to do steel piping with my college budget.
