How to build a 4" stainless steel snorkel pie-cut / lobster back - Timelapse 

And then in the end it's not as smooth looking as using mandrel bends and it got painted/coated flat black! Wtf.

@@Jawscatz Sometimes its about the journey not the destination.

Cheers BigB!

Should have been backpurged with argon, yes.

You aren't drinking through it

Nope. As written in the description.

The sugaring from the back has ruined the stainless and will eventually rust from the back thats why when u make a hot side for turbos,headers,or a cold side from staimless(which i never make mine out of stainless for weight reasons always aluminum)its always back purged thats the only reason people will pay more money for my products or other people products that back purge rather than some chinese crap thats not back purged for half the price. It just makes a pure and strong weld thats porosity free

But might i add if u did back purge this would be a top notch product good welding sir

Tube is 1.6mm 316. Didnt see the need to purge building this, and all the extra effort involved in doing so. Thanks for your sub!

I also was about to ask the same question👏🏻🙏🏻

thanks

Thanks mate.

Not really mate sorry.

Thanks mate, i did keep it raw for a while but quickly oxidized due to coastal address and not pasivating the welds.

thanks

Just ran TIG around 60 amps and dabbed the wire in. No pulse.

Thanks.

ote they are mustang style aftermarket headlights with projector main beams from a company called Off-road Industries.

A few hours welding there.

sorry mate. Used a vertical metal cutting bandsaw, cut at 85.5deg both ends giving an 9deg wedge/pie cut. To make a 90deg lobster back elbow, you need 9x 9deg pie cuts and 2x (4.5 one end 90deg the other) end pieces. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks 👍

Thanks mate.

1.6 316 4" Stainless tube, cost around 80 bucks

Thank you!

Of course, I purchased a 4" to 3" silicone elbow reducer and connected it to the standard air box from within the guard.

1.6mm

Thanks!

Wondering the same thing.

No mate i didnt.

So no gas coverage on the inside?

Cheers.

Yeah although i used 316 stainless steel, it still started to oxidize so i took it off and had it powder coated.

@@shannonsengineering next time heat the welds to a blueish color and while hot spray them with transmission fluid wait for them to cool and polish out the pipe .. you can leave them outside forever and theyll never rust.. its what we used to do when making chimney extension pipes on restaurants to create more up draft on wood fired ovens.. almost 20 yrs later and still not even a spec of rust on the ones i put up down town ... ive done this with several exhausts ive built after mig welding them on my toys and even our winter salt doesnt phase it .. i just believe in being able to see my work especially after hours and hours put into 1 project ... i know an offroad vehicle doesnt have a need to be pretty but that was a beautiful snorkel..

You can see in the video i made it by hand

I personally don't think it makes any difference what way it faces. Its not a race car. In the vehicles i have owned, i have never felt any performance differences having it backwards not that i drive a diesel 4wd to go fast anyway.

So they don't fill up with water when it rains...

OVERLAND GLOBAL looks like a drivetech 4x4 bar

Tyler is correct. Drivetech Rival.

1.2mm

Did you happen to catch the title?

@@shannonsengineering I see lol

Cheers

around 50-60.
