3" Mandrel bent pipe- Aixbox to intake manifold

Postby Phillis » November 7th, 2008, 5:40 pm

Im keen on giving this a burl sometime soon. The only car ive seen with it done (in the flesh) is John/EFalcon and falcn6.

Im struggling to remember how his was set up- what shapes/angles do you aim for and has anyone ran into any problems doing it? Does anything have to be modified on either the intake end or the aix box end? What do you mount the entire pipe to? I have alot of questions, can anyone give me some direction? :D

all i can say, is HPC COATING FTMFW!!!

I have 2 tabs welded which support my intake pipe. first one is on the rocker cover, and the next one is off the strut tower. you will need the modify the airbox so that the pipe will fit through.

Before mine was HPC coated, it was ridiculously hot. Its much better now, but still gets hot.

When it does not exist, design it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough.

yeah aparently the previous had a pinhole leak and siliconed it up. It worked, but its ugly as hell- everyone comments on it as soon as i open the bonnet. Hence why im after this pipe :)
