SixStarCars' 818R - NASA ST3 - SCCA Solo X Prepared Build Thread

[Scargo]

I like the plumbing work. V-band flanges are so sexy a solution. I have one track that requires muffling. Grrr.
I guess the intercooler stuff is aluminum? I don't understand why the SS is welded rather than bent? I know somebody's bending it since it can be purchased in bent segments. Learn me something!

Yeah all aluminum on the IC stuff. Welding rather than bending is mostly because dies for the bender are $300-500 each and it faster and easier to just pie cut stainless U bends to get where you need. Plus tig is sexy.
