Yes, the math would say the least bends possible. If a bend is necessary, then make it the least angle possible with the largest bend radius possible. This basically would apply to both the intake and exhaust track.

I guess I generally have known this but I was shocked at the amount of the pressure drops, becoming very significant in high hp (high cfm) applications.

Finished up my intake mods and I am ready to get everything back together. Pretty happy with how they turned out. Planning on doing a lot of fine tuning this weekend and going to try to get back to the dyno next week.

Looks good!
Not the most pretty of the welds but we have a saying. It's not how it looks, it's how it holds

Looks like next Thursday night. Man, sorry I have not gotten them back to you. Let me know if you cannot make it and I will be glad to run them down to you.

Thanks mate! I am no professional tig welder, this is for sure, but not bad for home made.

Hopefully they do the job.

Looks good. I see you left off the t-bolt clamps. Those things are a pain to get tight and not hit the hood, or the light bar or other things. How much extra horsepower do you think you gained?

Yep, T Bolts were a no go. Lesson learned. BTW I have some T Bolts for sale! lol

We think we were getting a choke condition in the intake track on the top end so hoping this helps a bit. Just trying to make my initial 550 rwhp goal.

As an aspiring welder working an office job during the day, I think those TIG welds looks pretty darn good! Good luck at the dyno -- looking forward to seeing how much it helps on the top end. Hopefully you can dyno at the same boost levels so you can compare apples to apples...
