Re: O2 Housing Project

It shouldnt leak, its been done coutless times, the exhaust is flowing the other direction. Even if there is a small leak, I dont care, most people dump them to the ground and that is way louder. I'll never hear a small leak.

Yes I guess I would consider it a slight pie cut, but it's immediate. You hafto sacrafice somewhere. Look at an fp o2 housing, they pie cut it like crazy! And they dont even purge weld it. Also the v band flange that I used was from fp, it flares from 2.5 inch to 3 inch, so the angle that it made matches the angle of the curved pipe on the inside of the radius so there is no step. Ill try to snap a pic of that today so you can see what I mean, it's what really helped me make the difference between clearing and not clearing.

I did nothing in my build with a "git er done" thought of mind, that's what makes dsmers look bad in the import crowd.
