haha... its really not that hard.

it is for the people that model ---- in 3d programs all day, never build a manifold, then try to build one from the drawing

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

CS welding between the runners, and welding a slip-on collector can be done. Unfortunately you can not weld every inside seam of a slip on collector - leaving you with big leaks.
sten most newbies are going to waste during the process??? Afew inches of staight pipe and at most one $5 bend.

The point you're making about 3D modeling IS valid, yet NOT when it comes to doing anything on this type of scale.

you guys are ------- hilarious, im just ------- around with solidedge, i know that i personally couldnt fab that manifold i was ust having fun and trying out new ----.

but if i were to make a ramhorn i could acuratly tell you exactly how much straight tubing you would need and bends and any od type bends that would needed to be cut.

if i honestly wanted to build that manifold, each runner would be welded then i would use a burns stainless slip on collector. or a home made collector would have a angle on each runner which would allow you to weld on the inside.

solidegde is just a tool that help you visualize and create new sytles of parts, in the end its how much a person knows about welding and fabrication to make one.

i rather spend a few hours in a nice cool clean envirment with my feet up, then sitting infront of a chop saw all day trying to figure the perfect length of straight that i need.

sw ftw... move to the birmingham area right now and i'll get you a job building patio chairs, haha. catia is the one program i wish i would have learned but that whole fall of US auto companys kinda ruins it. i run on solidworks all day. i was thinking about making a mani, can someone get me specs on the flange?

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

which engine?

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

im running z6 right now, have b16 in the front bedroom of my apt and wanna go H2B soon :d so any of them.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

i have a b series flange in my garage ill draw it up tomorow.

Re: some more solidedge performance fun.
 

sweet, im to lazy to bring in my mani, and draw it up :D

since i started having a real yab, i don't work on the car :(
