air ram pipe question ??

Post by tintin »

ive had a play with the new air ram cone to day got the ally pipe the right lenght . i took my iduction pipe a part to use the rigrt angul bends looking at it ill ether have to cut the pipping down and use 3 90 degrees pipes or 1 90 degree and a 180 degree or 2 90's and a 20 degree kink

what do you think will be best?

thanks

why you using the alloy piping for an air ram? should get yourself a length of some plastic flexi hose with a decent diameter.. not only is it lighter, but its more forgiving in the bends..

anyways... 2 90's with a 20 degree kink is the lesser of three evils..
depends on your setup as to what oyu can get away with i spose..

cheers.

the reson im not using flexi pipe is cos its got ribs in so the air wont flow as much . say as silicone hosing and ally pipe
