Looks good! Hmm I need to find me a used Tig and start practicing.

 

Nice work, but I'm just not getting one thing. Why didn't you just use a bend instead of "pie slicing" like kane said?

 

he probably didnt have a bender to use on the pipe, even though you did pie slice it, the beads on it are very nice and it should be just as effective...keep up the good work.

 

My guess would be that he bought pre-mandrel bent sections for everything he's done. The beads aren't really impacting the flow as the fact that the distance and angles from pie slicing are dramatically different per section which affects flow.

Nice welds though. I especially love the snake-skin method

 

Thanks for the compliements. I did the pie cuts because i didn't have any mandrel bends with a tight enough radius. Each angle on the pie-cuts are near identical, maybe a couple milimeters in difference at the most

 

Nice! Do you have a shop? (just curious, since I'm kind of in your area).

 

Thanks and yes I do. We will be moving into the new shop for the next few weeks

 

pang i'd be more than happy to pick up one of your old R/D manifolds... hit me up...

BTW-i got my turbo today.

 

Looks great Pang. When you get the new shop up and running I'll have to come by and check everything out.
