That's intercooler piping that you see. JD it is ready I'm going to be taking it to work with me this week and running it after work at the lake to get the tune done. I was planning on taking it to Cumberland with me last week but it was just too close and I Felt like I was going to be rushing the tune so I just took a friends boat.

Why the exhaust wrap? I always wondered when a intercooler is piped like that doesn't all the right angles restrict flow?

The exhaust wrap is because I had to put the exhaust close to the Pcm and distributor. As far as the bends they are 3.5" mandrel bends. They won't restrict the flow.

And the exhaust had to route to the outside of the transom assemblies because of how close I'm running the drives. I had to cut the inner plates as it was so there was no room for anything to go between the drives.

Wildman_grafix 09-13-2016 09:27 AM

Wow that must be close. Did you have someone local there do the mandrel bends? I used to live in Indy so just curious.

Can't wait to see what this thing ends up running, I forget what did you end up at for HP?

It's 4-5 inches away and will be fine I'm sure but the one time I eat an impeller or clog a strainer I don't want to have to replace a harness. I think it makes it look all business. The mandrel Bends you can just buy and then as you can see from the picture I cut them and then weld them to make the pipe. Same principle of how they do exhaust also. I always buy my aluminum mandrel vans from frozen boost.com. That's also where the intercoolers it from, pretty nice stuff at a great price.
