Some sick ass bikes dude. Totes jelly. Procedure wise it's the same, the weld only comes out as good as the metal fit and prep, just as with paint prep. Just about picking up the torch/ gun and figuring it out. And by the lack of orange peel it looks like youve got it on lock. Sorry to divert the to...

Lmao! Props for doing it man. Even if the idea is retarded, and you wont spool till fuggin forever. But the best lessons are ones paid for with your own time. You got enough fab skill to make a tubular mani if you can make that ****.

I would do it just like that one pictured above. If you place the flex section anywhere after that you run into issues. - if you bottom out you can rip open the flex section, which is very easy to cut yourself on when under there and could casue leaks. -you do not want the chance of bottoming out be...

Here's a decent thread that compares all the different evac methods. As his test was through the waste gate tube, which id imagine would create less draw, i think better results could be had routing it through the downpipe from the higher pressure differential. v8 guys have seen as much as 40whp ove...

Naa not really. If you're not blowing them out i guess its not a problem. I just always would get spark blowout with the 6e's. You're running pretty low gap though, that's prolly what's saving it. Either way, dosnt hurt to get em next time you get new plugs.
