That's a hell of a collection you have, almost all of the JDM halo cars. I love those Eagle Summits, they're such cool little vehicles. Funny enough, I found another dream car of mine on Marketplace just after purchasing the Aristo: a 1989 Chevy Caprice, blue on blue, 40k miles, listed for $9k. I momentarily debated scooping it up as well as I'd love to build a lowrider out of a box Caprice or a G-Body Regal, but I realized bringing another car home right now would help neither my bank account nor my rapidly diminishing storage space. Sometimes we have to pick and choose our battles, unfortunately.

Even if much of the engraving and mural work isn't really my style, it's impossible to not respect the craftsmanship and artistry that goes into high level builds.

Thank you for your kind words and support. I'm eyeballing cut lines the majority of the time. Since an exhaust like this isn't a production piece, I'm most concerned with fitting the tubing where it needs to go rather than precisely which angles I'm using. Most of the time I'm cutting these elbows with my angle grinder and flattening the cut sides on my belt sander.

Im curious how the math works with your jig vs. the jig i made. I'm making a 4 into 1 for a 1g talon. On the first attempt, with scrap material, rotating the tube 90 degrees did not give me a 90 degree cut angle. Due to the splay angle, I had to figure out the correct amount of rotation to get a 90 degree cut angle. Im curious why you dont run into that issue with your jig. Mine sets the tube verticle instead of horizontal. Im trying a 15 degree splay for my R&D. But yea, I'd like to figure out the equation that compensates for splay angle, and number of tubes. At least for a round style flange, not a t3/4/6. It's really funny that you put this video out as im doing this. Thank you for always being so helpful. Idk if you recognize my name, but I comment and like a lot of your videos. I've been studying your manifold videos off and on for a couple of years. Your red demon manifold build last year actually helped me decide on the jmf 4g63 flange. I was not super pleased with the vibrant one that I got initially. Even though I was planning on going to Morrison route and form the tubes instead of going with the oval to round transition in the flange. The jmf flange checked all the other boxes.
@AlexLindner Ай бұрын
My cutting fixture typically requires an additional 5° added to the base rotation. Using your 4-1 collector as an example, I cut at 95° as opposed to 90° to achieve proper fitment. It takes some experimentation to figure out, but it's just the way it goes. I don't know of a formula to figure out this discrepancy and elected to practice cutting with PVC initially to figure it out. It's my pleasure, I'm happy to put the information out there. I do recall going back and forth with you in the comments before. I'm glad to hear that you went with a JMF flange - they're high quality pieces. Nice materials generally aren't cheap, but they're game changers to increase the quality of your end product.

What is the strategy for welding the last tubes if you don't have space....thanks 🇧🇷
@AlexLindner Ай бұрын
As I'm building the header, I take two angles of attack for final welds. 1.) Try to run the primaries such that you leave a "pocket" to fit the torch into for the final welds. 2.) Be strategic as to when I'm adding each primary to the assembly. It isn't a perfect science and I still run into challenges occasionally. However, applying these two strategies help to eliminate the bulk of the issues.

@AlexLindner Ай бұрын
You did hear correctly, and thank you for a good question. I don't do anything to purge the outside of the collector, but rather apply as little heat as possible while doing these internal welds. Remember, the goals are solely to smooth and fuse these internal seams, not get penetration. In this instance, I pulsed the internal welds with my machine set at 70A to avoid disturbing the coloration on the collector's exterior as much as possible. Some disturbance is inevitable, but you shouldn't be applying so much heat that the outside of the collector loses all of its color.
