It isn't really an issue if you like pulling the parts back off to weld them but I bet its a job and a half to fit. I just did a split 6boob install and it was a pita, especially the gate position. I fabbed it all in the car though.

Where are u fitting the flexi join?

The manifold wont crack, even without flex joints. Though it is definitely a good thing to have them. I usually put the flex pipe in after the v band just after the dump pipe. Though 4" flex pipes from truck shops cost about $120!

We are running a split pulse 6boost too which I've been slowly building the exhaust for. The wastegate positioning is a little difficult to work around thats for sure Scotty!

Dump pipe so far.

Thats where i was thinking if it was going anywhere it will be just before the cat.

I can see what Scotty is saying but i have never seen it personally.

R33_racer- Damn u guys and ur pretty stainless. Must weigh a bit though

This is another reason i dont use stainless. this is the dump i made for Kurtis's R34 Kurtis got busy wrapping it up. Has done the manifolds also 83c2ac96.jpg

Stainless and mild steel is much the same. You wouldnt really notice the difference. Our old dump pipe after 3-4 years service and several modications was all rusted out on the inside. Was paper thin in several spots!

The new stainless one should last considerably longer!

Jez, do you use mild because you don't want to wrap stainless? Another misconception imo. Stainless won't go brittle and crack under heatwrap from what I have seen, mind you I don't wrap stainless manifolds if I can help it. Eventually any system will crack given enough heat cycles and vibration I just try to minimise it as I don't want my customers ever coming back.

Even painted the mild will rust away in no time under wrap. I guess if you only plan to use the car for a few years... That's the difference, I want my systems to last forever.

The tubes weigh around the same, not sure where you were going with that mate. While I still appreciate a nice mild system I know the exhaust acids will turn it to oxide within 5 years unless you ceramic coat it inside and out, which negates the cost savings and adds weight. I wish Ti and Inconel were cheaper but the only cost effective answer is 304 for the front and perhaps alloy for the rear sections if you were keen on weight savings.

Looks the goods mate, What turbo is that setup for? Kyle obviously doesn't fit these manifolds or he wouldn't have placed the wastegate directly under the turbo, making it nearly impossible to get to. If only the pipes were a little longer...

Haha oh u noticed lol. No wars. Im not a pro fabber like these boys. My good old mig can weld but i have to hide them lol

The origins of fab warz stretch back as far as Mick's GTX3071 thread, when Mick went hell for leather and decided to fab his own cooler pipes.

The outcome (of the pipes) was fantastic, and the war has been raging ever since.

This is Fab Warz.

Lol, people have their own ideas on what they want to do Scott, we need to share this kind of information so they can make a well thought out design that will work. How is that a Fab Warz?

Haha Jase.

Scotty it has nothing to do with weight or anything. Just pure ease and low cost.

I would only save $50 - $100 on a full system doing mild though. Easier how? You need to check out Midways prices on their quality mandrels. ;)

Sweet jesus that's a lot of power!

How much is "more" boost? haha

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
