Tungsten Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Here is the finished first section: With a little bit of overlap (~>1mm) for longer gasket life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 It looks a bit uneven top to bottom, but far better than I could do. A good gasket and proper torque will stay sealed, especially when there isn't tremendous back pressure. Permatex copper does wonders also...

Tungsten Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 A gasket alone will seal that @!*% right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I hate billet flanges. Care to share why? Thorley uses the same style flanges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just one more and the midpipe is done! Apparently I had to put 2 bends on it to clear the transfer case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 You making this too produce or as a show and tell? Never mind, I read back its a cheater pipe. I'm trying to make this sort of a production pipe but in a way where anyone can put one together with some simple tools and a welder. I'll make a shopping list soon when this is all done.

Dowser Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I detect about 60% James Earl Jones, mixed with a 40% James Brown. Sounds nice man. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJSquirrel Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Looks and sounds good. You are aware that your frame appears cracked in the second to last photo? Don't waste all your good work so far without getting that some attention. Keep 'em on the road! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I know, it's not cracked, i just punched a hole there because that part turned to dust to prevent it from going further back. The rest of the frame appears to be solid, I check it every few months for rust and spray oil on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
