I am about to order some custom pipe bends for manifolds from
RB Wagner. Is anybody interested in going in with me?

I was able to fit a four inch inside center line radius bend inside my
Kis Cruiser cowl. RB Wagner refers to that as a three inch inside
radius bend.  Here is a pic or two. As you can see the pipes sit right

down

on top of the rotor housings.

Stock RB Wagner bends come with two inch straight legs or no legs
at all. What we need is about a five inch straight leg on one side
and no leg or a two inch leg on the other side of the bend.

I am thinking of ordering 1-1/2 inch (1.6 ID)  and 1-1/4 inch (1.4 ID)
pipe with a three inch inside bend radii with one five inch long leg and

one

two inch long leg. You can then cut them to fit your configuration
and or tuning requirements. I am going to do this in the next few days
so let me know as soon as possible.

Pipe is a bit heavier than tubing but it is heat treated and the radii
is greater than Burns Stainless tubing bends. (3" center line). It is
also roughly half the price. Burns tubing bends are in the O condition
which is near useless until it is heat treated.

I'll take a set, Paul
