I took my intake runners to a high end muffler/fab shop to try & flare out one end of the tube, did not turn out good, not consistant & off-center.
Cannot really flare out & be on center in the slight bend on the mandrel bent tubing,causes them to stretch more one way,hence off-set centers. I may need to use longer runners for the shop to bend them more evenly (on the straight section)but will add to runner length, I would like them to be as short as possible for max HP. Plus, I do not want to got too close to the master cylinder & I really do not want to have to relocate the MC.
One of the short tubes the guy used a ram type flaring tool, but cannot be used on my curved/bent tubing (can't hold tubing), other type was just using a standard expanding tool to fit my velocity stack,not good for flow, I want a gradual taper for a smooth transition.
Need some ideas guys, casting the runners would be nice, but don't have that kind of time.
Any ideas guys?
I will have to try & figure out something else.
I have another set of 6 mandrel bent pipes to mess around with. Ideas?
EFI DIY, can you cast me some runners? Your's came out great.
