1.5 sch pipe size would be overkill in a honda, (for manifold runners) 1.25sch has a od of 1.66

you guys got any tricks for notching out pipes to merge them into another at 45 degrees without a fancy shop full of tools? ive been just straight cutting them at the angle then using grinders and grinding wheels to "round" them out to lay against the straight pipe nice, takes forever and sucks

Old English 800............. probably the worst tasting malt liquor in the world.

if you have access to a mill, a holesaw would do it. anther option is a plasma cutter. make a template and trace it onto the pipe and cut as much as you can with a vertical band saw or an angle grinder. proper tools can make life much easier.

got one for $38 after sale and coupon. cutting 1.25 sch at a 50-55 degree angle is pushing this thing but it works fine.

Usually those tend to be offset to one side and you need to shim the sliding ring.

this should work

Looking good

what I love about mig welding.. its pretty easy to fill large gaps by dragging a puddle across, and im pretty good at it because I suck at measuring and planning

messed up, didn't leave enough room to sneak a down pipe past runner 6, had to cut it off and re make it with 2 45s, ended up warping the flange pulled up on that end. had to get creative. I sliced the runner back apart and shoved a piece of steel under #5 and bent it back down using the bolts to pull it. it was pretty bad now its pretty good

ya so I pretty much cant fit a wastegate pipe off the manifold anywhere, kinda built my self into a corner.

im thinking about using some 1" OD tube I have and taking a branch off each of the two main runners into a little collector into my 38mm wastegate. anyone know if this would work ok?

I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Sounds pretty normal to me, and looks like it should be easy enough to do where those two long segments run parallel
