is that equal length, or is that equal length

overkill. yes.

you can polish a turd all you want, but its still not a duramax

keep talking shit

nothing wrong with a proven platform to begin with.

4/30/2009 6:55:28 PM

ilike the hose that wraps around the dipstick

4/30/2009 8:08:42 PM

3rd one from the left looks about 3/8" too short.

Equal length, miscellaneous diameter? That one on the right appears to get bigger after the curve.

I believe he did a step-up, then step down. 6-2 style. It's completely ridiculous, and doesnt seem to jive well with good header design. did i mention it was ridiculous ?

4/30/2009 9:37:45 PM

why does the fuel filter have all that teflon all around it

5/1/2009 12:33:01 AM

It looks like the block is weeping rusty tears in that first pic.

i was gonna comment on the "lack of" copper tack

not really, you have a large diameter coming off the head, with laminar flow and a thin wall film, which loses less heat and flow energy, then a reduction, or nozzle right before it hits the turbine housing for a boost in pressure and velocity, its like holding your thumb over the end of a garden hose

[Edited on May 1, 2009 at 11:23 PM. Reason : coulda accomplished the same thing on the intake with a large plenum]

one thing, where in the blue fuck do you think you're getting laminar flow? You'd be hard pressed to get laminar flow through the exhaust manifold at idle, much less 2500rpm.

I guess the dude's dyno results will share more light on the situation.

maybe not laminar flow, but a lower reynolds number, at least 4 times lower then in the collector pipe

5/2/2009 5:29:37 PM

^I might buy that. I do like the 3-1 collectors, btw.

5/2/2009 5:41:32 PM

just make sure its sequenced with the firing order, that setup looks like it would be a scavenging nightmare
