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.

 Paul,  Put me down for a set, if you can swing the

deal.  Thanks< Jim Coffman-
