i think i did that once just not as hardcore. HMT is so ghetto we can't go to advance auto and get 2.5-2" reducers

If you're going to keep it super HMT. Take some metal coat hangers & use them as filler rod.

i was expecting somthign totally different. i thought i was going to see some crappy write up on bridging and then i saw that bad boy. may be better ways that are cheaper out there.. but none are probly as quick as chucking a bolt in there bahaha. like said before... setting new hmt standard

i wouldn't run that. there is hmt and ------. that is ------, to spend more in weld and hardware, than to just take a minute to do it a little less ------.

hey, it was easier AND cheaper. materials vs time vs aesthetics, i won all of those hands down. it was basically to prove the ole 'stop using fencepost for ***** sake!' on chargepiping, and make a manifold out of it. outside of right angles and poor flow, some bends and a little work would have made a nice flowing manifold.

it cost barely anything, 1 bolt, 3 nuts from just my junk draw of billions of nuts/bolts. there isnt that much weld, the flow isnt poor because its going from the little side to the big side not vice versa.

why do people think this cost a lot? theres one bead of weld around everything, i welded the 2" piece in and then bent the 2.5" as close to the 2" piece i could by wacking it with a hammer. why wouldnt you run it? you ran pvc charge pipes.

It would have been better if you just cut slits on the bigger pipe and reduce the diameter to 2" then weld the slits after. Thats how I made my own reducer.
