Pie cutting/welding skillz in this thread are high. Looks good.I'd have to agree, the welding/cuts look really bad ass.

Why didnt you just buy a 180 bend, cut it, trim it, rotate it and weld it once instead of 11 pie cuts? I have 3, 3.5 and 4 in ss sitting in the garage. It may be a good idea to grind all that sugar out of the tube before it breaks off. Other than that good job.
This pic is going to end up on a fail poster.

That pie cut down pipe is for JDM POINT'S duh!!

shoulda used tittymania....err...titanium for mad jdm props though

Oh I dunno...bend radius?Is that Sch. 40? It looks thick enough to be...
Either way, like everyone else, I'd be worried about those welds holding up in the long run... lot of potential for failure there.
The manifold is pretty damn nice, who made it, or where'd it come from? Don't see those "T"s used too often, love the minimum number of welds that requires.
So, is that 33.33 per wheel?
Whats it make to the rears? -

Ok for one that is a 2.5" dp, and i can tell you have never worked in a confined space. the "pie" cuts allow for an infinite bend radius. pretty much what ever i feel is needed. there is no other way to accomplish what we had to do here using a mandrel bend. plain and simple.
also how would "suger" break off in the downpipe effect anything at all? it's in the downpipe.
Now onto you saying that was fail. I'm all ears to how you would build that downpipe with the same radius using a u bend. not going to happen again.
