Dented charge pipe!

[DJ-LIAMC]

I recently replaced my charge pipe for a polished debaffled one because i felt like a change, but as i changed it i noticed the original one had a large dent in it, i dont see how it could have got dented in this place?

So its a good job i replaced it then, but i guess i cant sell the original like i planned to get some money back

Here is the new pipe

im just waiting on the brackets for it as the originals dont fit properly because the pipe has a bigger diameter than the original.

mine has this too. this it's where it sits over the top of something so it doesnt rattle.

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

oh great so all of them are like this then? but my new pipe dont have this and it fits fine with no rattles so far.

Yup, they're all like it. No wait, it's knackered mate and I'll take it off your hands for a fiver.

Where did you get the polished one?

 

[DJ-LIAMC]

Good i can clean it up and sell it then!
I bought it from empi 5 who had it made from scratch by "feel" so its not a modified original just a straight though pipe with no baffles and a slightly bigger diameter. i want to polish the inlet mani next and powercoat the rocker cover blue i think that would look good.

if they made it from sctrach then thats probably y it has no curve in it. if i recall last time i took mine off that there was a metal lip sticking out that it rested on, unless they removed that too.

DJ-LIAMC if you want to sell your old one let me know, I'm after another one after some joker refused to send one back to me.

Liam - If you're driving it without the "T" clamps on, make sure you go out with the right tools to re-fit it. There is a good chance it'll blow off the hoses.

[J0N]

Yeah, since the rest of us kept our side of the bargain!

i have put the standard brackets on (only the top parts) to hold it on for now seems to be holding well just looks a bit naf.
