Made my own UICP pipe

All I needed was 3 - 2.5" Mandrel U Bends, 3" of 1.5" and about 1 foot of 2.5" straight pipe. It took about 4 hours and I have around 30$ in to it! I will post pictures of my install after the paint dries.

Tell me what you think!

Make one chromed or polished and you could sell them like hotcakes. As long as you have nice welds. I wish someone could make one on a Mandrel bender for a reasonable price that way there is no welding seams.

Well I personlly made this pipe to fit without a battery in the front and a different BOV and dejontool intake pipe. I'm sure that I could fab a couple more, just have to order the stuff to do it. Any ideas on what I could charge?

another shot from top. The BOV pipe coming out of the top is the exact OD as the ID of my Turboxs H34 BOV, it bolts directly to the pipe.

man why do you have to show me up!! Very very nice! Makes me wish I would have used stainless.

BTW, the offer of $60 shipped is like a slap in the face. With my time & effort involved I would imagine around $130 shipped would be a good offer. UICP for DSM's usually go for around $150 - $200.
