Is a 2inch stainless steel pipe to small for a snorkle

[BlueSuzy]

no

[zooky08]

ok sweet i have about 20 metres of the shit

[buzbox]

2inch might be a bit small but 50mm will be ok.

[zooky08]

2 inch is 50mm i thought

[BlueSuzy]

50.8mm will be better.

[zooky08]

well yea that is 2inch but i dont have that only 50mm ive got, so it want be to small to use

[buzbox]

20mts, gees that's going to be a pretty big snorkel.

haha well i probs have more then that im just guessing around 20mts . its for my friend as well

[BlueSuzy]

2" is 50.8mm

50mm is not going to make a difference. Just shit stirring.



Is it a stock motor?

My exhaust is only 2" on a 1.6 Baleno mtr. Stock is prob 1.25"

Stainless exhaust is my vote while your at it!

[buzbox]

Yeah don't mind me, just trying to be a smart arse

I think I'll go and find something else to do, Like fit my snorkel

[zooky08]

haha its ok fellas

yes its a stock 1.3 with 1.6 head and i already have a 2inch exaust
i like the the sound of a 2inch stainlees stell pipe

what would be the best way to bend it i wanna try keep the snorkel all one peice

[buzbox]

with a pipe bender of course...

You might want to go down to your local exhaust shop and get them to do it. Probably the best thing to do is tell them what angle you want it bent at, otherwise take your car down there and do a bit of trial fitting.

[zooky08]

ok thought it would be not thick enough and it would crink using a pipe bender

exaust place sound like a good idea

[BlueSuzy]

You can buy stainless bends, to weld them in. Unsure what sizes and where to buy. Most people go 3". Exhaust shop bender will crush the tube, and probably look poo.

You have a tig to use?

Normal mig will be shithouse.

[buzbox]

all pipes will stretch and squash on the bender, have a look at one of your exhaust bends, it'll kinda turn out like that. No big deal really.

[zooky08]

i have the bends as well and my neighbour has a tig

[BUZOOKA]

my snorkle is make from 3inch pipe and i think it looks heaps better tehn 2inch ..and the snorkle heads seem to fit on tightly

[BlueSuzy]

Cut and weld them in!

The mandrel bends are not crushed.

[zooky08]

how would you cut them the pipe is the exsact same size as the bends

[BlueSuzy]

Cut the pipe to correct lengths. Weld the bends on.


Wasnt this meant to be a simple question?

[zooky08]

oh i thought u ment cut nd weld them inside of each other woops

haha yea it was. i only wanted to no if it was going to be to small
ill stop now sorry

thanks alot guys

[BlueSuzy]

[BUZOOKA]

i still recona 3 inch pipe is a better way to go but if u have 2 inch pipe ..just try it and see how it goes

[jonno_racing]

mine is 2.5inch and it looks porn!

[BUZOOKA]

but urs is polished thats y it looks sexy

[buzbox]

I bet it does the same job.

[Pubic]

2" will be fine. as Blue said.

if you have a tig and the correct bends, then go for it.

when putting a hole through your guard, you may want to look for a sheet metal shop that has a hand held punch to punch out the hole instead of a hole saw, which in the wrong hands can end up very messy.....

we have a few little units at my work with punches ranging from 22-90 odd mm in dia. much cleaner hole, a lot less work.

I'm actually installing my snorkel right now, I just used the jigsaw with a metal blade. With a steady hand it's turned out alright.
