·well i got a friend that has a mandrel bender and can make me the IC pipes, i want to daily drive about 300-350 but i also want to be able to push it more, hopefully reaching 450hp, what size pipes would be good for my hp limits?

thanks for the advise bro.Mostly Thumbs said:2" ID is also good. May limit horesepower but that is 50% less pipe to fill therfore decreasing tubo lag significantly. I know lag doesn't affect peak dyno results but since you are looking for 300-400rwhp I assume you are aiming to build a well balanced car not a dyno queen......so keep lag in mind.
50% is not equal to 56%.Mostly Thumbs said:
4.9 divided by 3.14 = 1.56 ....thusly 2.5" pipe has 1.56 times the volume of 2" for a given length. (56% increase....)
he is the head service tech and installer at vacuum pump systems, inc. and friend bobby is the owner and yes they don't bend pipes for the public, but i been working with them for a while now.IdealSupra said:good info here...however i think the question missed is...how the hell does your friend have a mandrel bender?
im not an expert but i know here in the entire state of FL there are only two mandrel benders and both are huge commercial companies who dont bend pipe for the public....like directly....
jsut curious... and i too say 2.5 in a good balance for not to bad lag and the hp range.
from the numbers he wants..he probably wont have to upgrade the turbo much if at all......if done properly...
see will? if you had 2.25" pipes your monster a/r would spool at 2200 rpmMKIIIpowered said:Well I run 2 3/4 quarter piping but what do I know.
