i dont see the point either. sell outs

Well, I must say, having been on this forum for around 5 years, the number of topics covered has not really increased at all. It still revolves around CAI and CES Exhausts. (oops, did I mention the taboo word?)

Here is what happens when you have a couple of fairly knowledgeable blokes and equip them with a shed, some backyard tools, a spare motor and some metal!

The motor of choice here for those of you not used to seeing it out in its naked state, is the 1ZZ-FE, I personally think it’s a under rated motor, as it is cheap to get and can still be fun while remaining predictable and economical!

I’ll let the photos do most of the talking and I’m sure the ‘quiet’ oldies would know where we’re heading with this, as for the chirpy NOOBS out there fire your questions here and who knows, you might learn something a bit more than just CAI

Laser cut 10mm alloy from our own CAD drawings

First stage: 1.75" runners with custom die pressed ends to meet oval shape at the ports

Notice the runners are made to match the angle of the ports so they are straight direct entry

Flat flange is a bit boring and for the sake of simplicity, backyard tools were used to create a fillet on the ports with a 12mm radius. Yes, it is a wood router.

In action...

end result:

Needs a bit of cleaning up and a polish to get it all nice a smooth... but I think that's enough for today!

I will keep everyone posted as we make some progress! :)

arrrgh!! the use of that router makes me cringe haha. looks like a very clean job, i take it you got the alloy laser cut elsewhere? do you guys have a lot of workshop experience? personally i would have TIG welded it together but only because i love the look of a nice clean perfect weld LOL very nice but!! post more pictures up as you make more!!

by lookin at it im guessing you used a stick welder but do correct me if im wrong!!

so crazy.. whats quads?
