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.

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".

 

so is there an official name for them cuz when i say whitey bends people look at me like i have no clue what im talkin about. like i just made it up or something.

 

 

So you're going into shops asking about "Whitey bends" and you don't understand why they don't know what they are? Did you proceed to tell them HMT rules and call them all nig nogs as you walked out?

hahahahaha classic

 

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?

 

Lol people act like I invented pie cuts. 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
