Crush bends FTL
2 Attachment(s)
I was pondering why my car seemed to be low on power compared to the other greddys at the same boost level (15psi) and realized my Tony DP had been modified with 2 crush bends.
Any idea how much power and spool this is sapping me of? I died a little when I took these pictures. I'm also wondering what a reasonable price would be if I took the DP to a shop and had them weld in mandrel bends. Attachment 211787 Attachment 211788 |
i really doubt that is going to make a difference. and why is your trans covered in oil?

Leaking CAS O-ring.
Then why have I read a mandrel bent 2.5 is better than a crush bent 3? |

those dont even look like crush bends. just bad mandrel ones.
|
bad crush bends that you have to worry about look like accordions on the inside of the bend.
|
Right then. I'm off to find other things to blame.
|
|
they're crush but they're not accordion
|
That doesn't look like the DP I had made by Tony. Don't remember the welds looking as shitty or any three bolt flanges.

I'd have a shop weld in some mandrel bends. + 2.245 HP FTMFW.

Gosh guys yall make me wanna go wipe the tranny with a rag. |
Yeah you're gonna wanna fix that oil leak.

My 3 inch exaust has the crappy bends. But hey it is 3inch exaust cheap. And Im sure it flows better than a smaller pipe. I'm not trying to be a top fuel dragster. Seat of the pants O'meter is what matters. I wouldn't spend the money on the switch.
But life is short. Do what makes you Happy. |
No thanks, they can stay if it's that small a difference. Just trying to figure out what's holding me up.
|
my transmission kinda looks like that :eek5:
