AFTER the hurricane ima run my RUSH!!! lol ima put the engine back on it and use it its bein sitting around for to long LOL ill let you guys know how my day goes i ordered a 22CB for it (i wuz useing a 18 before) agaist everyones recomantions!!!! everyone tolled me dont put a 47 SG and when they saw it move all i got was ooooooooo aaaaahhhhhhssss i think the .18SS engine can take it (i ported it big time) it took that 18/47 conbo like noting!!!! i cant wait to see what will happen with the 22/47 also i have smaller tires than before i have street tires now??? what effects do you guys see happening?????????
PS 1/2 pound holy crap!!!! if it make u happy that all that matters but just as a refrence i have a spare .12 CV lieing around and the full engine PLUS the mount PLUS the header is EXACTLY 1/2 pound................u had a good idea but i think it would be better to get that same copper tubeing u used and jsut bend it into shape instead of useing all those joins peices and soldering!!!
Bending a single piece of tubing would be fine if you have a mandrel bender that will do 1/2" or smaller tubing. beyond that bending 1/2"tubing in that small of bends will create kinks in it that will not allow for the smooth flow of the exhaust. ergo you have to use the premade 90° pieces.
I am going to make a smaller diameter one 3/8" and try it to see how it works on my rs4.
