Re: new down pipe
ive seen this method that you guys call "whitey" bends, lol. it makes sense for super tight bends. but i was thinking what if you did a whitey bend with an already mandrel bent pipe. so each section is a curved peice rather then a straight one. how would that work out? anyone ever tried it? id think you could get even tighter bends that way and they'd be more smooth.
that piece you made looks good

Re: new down pipe
bringing this thread back from the dead, but I got updates. lol. 
I cut the exhaust housing and welded a "v" band flange to it. Im so proud of this one, since is my first time welding cast, didn't know how was going to turn out.
