log bent as one solid U from 1-4 and a short section of straight for 1 & 2 :y :y

That's easy enough to do.

There is far more room there then it seems. You could do it with just standard radius 2" od x 3" radius no problem. We still build tons of 3000GT parts we developed ... damn near 5 years ago now.

maybe if i had a car here in front of me to work with i could find a way to do it, but all i have are the stock pieces to copy. they are 2 stamped steel halves welded together. the bend in them is super tight. i made a tig out of the stock part and not i really cant get anything standard that i already have to make the bend. i already got glanges from Weir with 2 holes and i am going to weld in a divider to fit down into the turbine housing.

if i was making my own downpipes also, then it would be very easy, but i am trying to make this fit stock and aftermarket pipes

Wow last time i bought 50+ of sch10 short radius 1.25 elbows they were less the $10 each ... I better buy more before they clue in :)


I think this is a great idea, the only problem I see is with the leg length. The advantage comes when you can completely eliminate needed to cut/weld a straight section, the problem is depending on the heading it can range from 1" to 6"

Either way I'm keeping an eye on this for next time I remake my personal header. If it goes well I might even put the silly thing into production :)

Doing them blind .. Yikes when you dont know the car. They don't have to be anywhere near that tight. Just make sure you hit the outlet location with just a standard 2.5" 2 bolt universal exhaust flange, that will allow you to mate up to stock and aftermarket downpipes. We have literally built hundreds of o2 housings for that car, trust me you don't need a bend anywhere near that tight.

We are going to mass produce the 1.5" leg, but we are going to stock some odd ball leg lengths.
