new up pipes

[sweetdiesel]

can you guys explain to me what the advantage to making the change is? in the side by side pic above the new and old dont look all that differant except the bellow and material used. is it more of a heat retention thing? and is there much to gain doing these and manifolds vs just one of the 2? thanks just trying to learn.

Like i said the pics dont do the justice

The stockers have dents are flat in spots.....poor flow characteristics

And dont have the bling Is it better Ya,Will i gain a lot.......probably not,But everything helps.

Simon you will gain a lot... gmduramax(Anthony) gained 3 mph from going to 1 7/8 up pipes... I bet you will notice a drastic difference

They are much larger inside and will flow quit a bit more. Simons up-pipes are 2" OD. There are spots on the stockers that are as small as 1 1/2" and even the largest area on them is not 2". We can go bigger though

Questions are how people learn. If I cut one of Simons in half and cut a stocker in half it would be day and night

I took a few more pics of the stockers,Again the pics dont really help

make a point to have a look at some stock pipes in person and you can see


DS coming off the manifold is like WTF happened here

Tell me about it, and its not even like things are tight on that side.......all the room in the world. Between that and the DS manifold, I'm starting to think the left side engineer was crazy and the right side one did a good job of fitting 10 lbs of crap in a 5 lbs box

next one i have apart i will pay more attention to. i guess it was never an issue until lately when they started coming out with the better designs. i suppose there is major room for improvement in every aspect of the original design.

So how did they work? Could you tell a difference?

I think I got some of those

We can ge bigger than that Give me enough time and $ and I can build anything!:baby:

More questions.......

Obvisouly there's a difference between these up pipes and the ones off the Kodiak's. What would it be just for my curiosity? Other than material and craftmanship?

I would ASSume they are larger than the Kodiak up pipes as well?

I think it might take a new pedestal if you do. The bolts were pretty tight to the pipe. I'll see if I can snap a pic with them wrapped and installed. By the way, your wrapping tips helped out big time! Thanks.

they work well....no leaks Spools so freaking easy now:cool2:

I think it might take a new pedestal if you do. We can do that too, I' can build 5" ones if that what you relly want......like I said....time and $The bolts were pretty tight to the pipe. I'll see if I can snap a pic with them wrapped and installed. By the way, your wrapping tips helped out big time! Thanks.Glad I could help...I had to learn the hard way
