Whitey bends on 2.2 million dollar car in Modified Mag
Anyone look at the current Modified Mag? On page 24 they have a write up about some shop taking a Porsche Carrera GT (400k) and turning it into a Mirage GT (Costs 1.8mil for conversion) with 1000hp etc.
anyways, there is a picture of the exhaust and all the bends are Whitey bends, I'll try and get a pic. If it's good for that car, should be good for HMT. http://www.dupontregistry.com/dprvm/...pg&sessionkey= |

I seen than, waste of money if you ask me, its like 1.8mil to get the car like that, BUT you have to have the base model 1st ::)

The bends are like that because the exhaust is made of titanium. I guess when you need every little pound shaved off you gotta do what you gotta do :-\

Yup, Near impossible to bend Titanuim so the Pie Cut it. People have been doing it for year, Only on HMT are they called "Whitey Bends".

Re: Whitey bends on 2.2 million dollar car in Modified Mag
Seems like such a waste. They hand make body kit and fix up the engine and suspension...woooohh
Wonder how much of that is actuall profit? |
Re: Whitey bends on 2.2 million dollar car in Modified Mag
Lol people act like I invented pie cuts. :S I think Jeff was the first to call them "whitey bends" and the name just caught on. I've seen them called whitey bends over at H-T but now they're called "JDM bends" now. :1
I got in the habit of doing bends like that becuase back when I started building turbo kits, mandrel bends costs $25.00 for a 90 in mild steel so mandrels were way out of my pricerange. Now that building stuff yourself has become popular mandrels are alot cheaper and can be found everywhere. I actually got the idea from my friend Brian (owner of the turbo SHO) becuase he was the first one to do those bends |
