What happens here

Based on the reference pipe's length and the wire templates, cut and fit stainless steel pipes and U-bends for the remaining primaries (cylinders 3, 5, and 7). Ensure these new primaries are carefully mocked up to fit the tight engine bay constraints and achieve lengths as close as possible to the reference pipe. Temporarily secure these sections with masking tape and then tack weld them together using a TIG welder, ensuring to maintain the desired path and length.

Goal: Construct and tack weld all remaining primary header pipes to match the reference length and fitment.

Tools and materials

  • Masking Tape 3M — Temporarily securing pipe sections
  • Stainless Steel Pipes — Constructing the primary pipes
  • Stainless Steel U-Bends — Creating bends in the primary pipes
  • TIG Welder Fronius — Tack welding pipe sections
  • Welding Gloves Tillman 1338L — Hand protection during welding
  • Welding Helmet Vizor Pro — Eye and face protection during welding

it needs to go now is the incredibly fascinating process of tacking the pipe which is currently taped together I cut a little slice out that way I can tack it myself cut a little slice out peel some back press it together if it's gained any kind of Gap over the course of moving it around which apparently this one did because I had to kind of redo it with more tape and then I'll tack it and you know stick the tungsten to it which is not what you're supposed to do but sometimes that happens um flip it over cut a little slice out push the Gap in attack it and then it's you know that joint is good and then you do that for uh all of them this is how I've figured out how to do this so I don't have to have somebody hold it together for me and it still keeps its orientation without having any kind of
