Well I have started collecting pipes to see which will work the best on the FXT Punisher.After a few failed attempts I have came up with what looks to be THE ONE:excited:
I started with an FG Leopard pipe but all the bends were wrong so I went to work on it with my saw ,Dremmel and other cutting implements.
First off I mounted the Leo manifold and as you can see the bend is waaay off.:rifle:
Then to mark the bends out............
Took the burrs off with the Dremmel.................
And mounted it..............................
Next was to cut the right radius on the pipe...................
Next was to find a piece of tubing to bridge the gap..................Hmmm,the metal broom looked good.:wasn't me:
I took the outside plastic off with a scalpel..................
And cut it to the length needed,this is only a temporary measure until i can lay my hands on a decent piece.
Once mounted I found a couple of silicon and FG exhaust couplings.....
Hey presto........pipe mounted and working!:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
Here is a short clip of it running.................
All thats left is to find some decent silicon couplings and a few 'P' shaped brackets.
Any questions just ask!
