What size pipe do i need to get to make a hommade torqe tube. I have measured the baffle section and it measured roughly 5-1/4" od. SO do I go 5" or 5.5" tubing since they don't seem to make a 5-1/4" pipe?

 

I used a piece of 5.5" aluminum tubing from airflow online. Works great.

yup, 5.5" tubing from airflow online as well

 

Mine looks just like HorseHaulers and I got it from the same place.

 

10-4 thanks guys I'll be ordering that tonight.

 

I must be doing something wrong but, I can't get anything form that website. Is that the correct one? How much does that 5.5" tube cost?

Thanks.

What i did was pry the top off the baffle, then pulled the baffle out, then reglued the baffle back together. didnt cost a thing.

 

I used a coffee can (litterally).....a coffee can.

I think it was a 1 pound ca, tore off the label, put the coffee in a zip-loc for later use ....and painted it black.

$4.99....plus coffee to boot

 

I did the same thing. I used the stock tube and removed the baffling. I made it way harder than it needed to be though. One of the ends will come off if you pry it hard. Then just glue it back together. Free.

 

ditto........

 

very good idea will it just slide out then? I would do it this morning but its still 27* outside my house. Last week it was 90* for most of the week I HATE COLD WEATHER . Anyway thanks for the simple idea I was afriad I'd have to totaly break it to get tos things out.

 

Here's the site.

[IMG]106_0692[/IMG] this is what i did,,slipped some metal betweeen the cross baffles i wanted to keep the cross baffles to straighten out the air flow

 

hmmmm,, as soon as i figure out how to get a pic in here i will

 

I finally got around to doing the baffle removal and silencer ring delete. The cross baffles on mine where held in place by a two piece split plastic pipe. Pryed of the top of the baffle section breaking the factory glued joint ( wasn,t easy) pulled the assembly out and tried to reglue with Krazy glue. That didn't work (amazing) so figured a two part expoxy will surely do it. NOT! The stock tube is made of a plastic that I found the only product would work is "Loctite for all Plastics". Anyway my tube is kind of a mess and I don't trust it longterm but can hear the turbo sing. Not as loud as I hoped. Going to look for a piece of metal pipe, prefer stainless, for a permanent solution. Never did get around to swiss cheesing the airbox.
