I've been thinking about this addition for a while and bought this off EBay. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=120994910317
Got it in a couple of days and just considering what pipes to get and what routing. Seems nicely made. So come on, tell me what mistake I've made in buying it as it was so cheap?
I'll probably get a manifold connection plate made up by one of my customers and get a bend tig welded on nicely to smooth out the flow. I've seen some made up ones that look a bit too sharply bent. I'm considering keeping to the 3" or possibly going up to 80mm to try and keep flow losses down to a minimum. Will probably get ally pipes tig welded together and get silicone connections from the wobbly bits to the fixed. I figure I might cut off the engine lifting eye at the front and make up a bolt on eye of some sort to give the required room and possibly flatten the pipe a little in places. The bit I am not so keen on is the apparent need to go down and under with two U shaped pipes to get to the cooler.
This is all my musings and theory BTW, no mock ups or further investigation has been done yet but whatever happens, it's got to work well and not get in the way of mounting a Husky 10 winch behind one of Karl's nicely made winch bumpers.
