So I was bored today and decided to consult with my box of tubing. Luckily I had a few extra couplers and T clamps laying around so voila, upper hard pipe
I would have made it all one piece, but the top two bends are aluminum and the bottom half is steel. I did manage to re-use the factory bracket location.

 

wat'd you user for a lower charge pipe? or does this connect to the intercooler....?

 

I havent done the lower yet. That was all the bends I had in the box LOL. The lower seems to be much less restrictive than the upper was, but I'll get around to doing it eventually when I order some bends and also make the upper one piece.

 

I take it that you have the tools to weld steel, but not to weld aluminum? I want to kick myself for selling my metal chopsaw, MIG welder, TIG welder, and torch. I thought I was done with all that.

 

I keep thinking of a lot of imaginative things I can do with my welder, and tubing. Already did a replacement header for a 98 Grand Cherokee. What's so difficult about some sweet, smooth intake plumbing.......

 

I can weld aluminum, but I have a MIG and the tubing is polished and thin, not so good for the MIG

 

Here are a few things I have done in the past...

 

Good work, Indy! I miss welding. I got married and all that went away.

 

Thanks

Yeah, women definitely have a way of doing that haha

 

Nice! I love my Hobart 140!

 

I can surley vouch for him!! He welded up my exhaust on my old saturn, and has (as the pics show) made several turbo manifolds for his saturn as well. Andrew is definatly a cool as dude and knows wut he is doing. Pipe looks good man!!

Indy that exhaust mani looks crazy as f.. nice job..

 

Cool work - I gotta dig for my header weld photos - its probably the best welds I'll ever make - my stuff seems to have gone downhill! Better show them off before I accidentally post some of the **** I've been slapping together lately!
