You could of fab'ed that simple set of dumps with about 6 bends in the same time you played around with $1200 of legos.

@jediknight1294 3 года назад

@@cody2254 I'm gonna be honest, that setup didn't show them off in a way that really benefited them but it could be really useful. I really like the look of the old school 2 stroke exhausts made up from what to be blunt is far more cuts than is necessary and the shogun look like a good way to ensure I get that sort of look in a way thats QUICK to mockup and tack. Would I do the whole system, probably not, can I see a use sure.

@tuloko16 3 года назад

Make sure the customer knows what to expect and what the look is going to be with the “lobster” bends. I built a similar exhaust. When completed, the customer did not like the multiple welds, so he had me grind them down smooth. I got paid right for the extra welding, but it still hurt to know that i could had built it off from regular mandrel and be done faster

You can buy a complete V8 header kit from many of the online speed shops in steel for 100 to 200 bucks and have it coated for cheaper.The Shoguns would be really great for the boutique builder.

@Troph2 6 лет назад

It would be nice if they sold 2-3 pre welded, I imagine 85% of situations could be done with sets of 2-3s, and would reduce the weld time even further.

@michaelthomas7898 6 лет назад

I can see them saving a lot of time and being easier to use for the beginner. And that is part of fabricating knowing your options but they still look crooked to me. Nice vid as always and thanks for the ideas nice to have options.

@jediknight1294 3 года назад

Problem is casting is expensive in small to medium quantity, something like this the moulds aren't going to last that long and they will be fairly labour intensive. The question is like the man says where do you want to spend the money, on the materials or the labour time. For a home builder who is going to tack and take to a buddy to finish the welding I can see the temptation. Similarly having a couple to do a small portion of the exhaust or for the look of the scallopping and blueing of the welds. End of the day its just another tool in the toolbox.

@paulmorrey733 6 лет назад

@alexkojima6391 6 лет назад

Cool product and great video. But $20 a pie cut is absolutely ridiculous. The 60 cuts you received would cost me $1200 plus shipping!

@TheFabricatorSeries 6 лет назад

Alex Kojima Initial cost is high but offset by reduced fab time.

@Shadow0fd3ath24 6 лет назад

It would be MUCH simpler and cheaper to just rent (or hell buy one) a cheap tube bender and bend the exhaust to the final shape, then chop it up and reweld.

@luemn7691 6 лет назад

ShadowOfDeath24 don't even chop it up to weld. Just sayn

@TheFabricatorSeries 6 лет назад

I don't know of any off the shelf bender that could bed tight radius thin wall tubing that is cheaper than this stack of shogun cuts. You'd have to use a mandrel bender to get this tight of a bend.

Jonas Karlstrom welding took over 5 hours. Fab time before welding was less than 3 hours. Total time was just under 9 hours for the entire job.

@javidcars1274 6 лет назад

Great video ! No more tacking. Since it's thicker, does that make it stronger?

@Limeayy 6 лет назад

Whats the crimped or bowed middle section do? If they had that lip and recessed ends and not the bowed middle section i think i'd like it that way more. Looks cleaner. Okay, i understand possibly why they have the bowed section. Possibly when you weld it it has that "WMWMWMWM" look.

@TheFabricatorSeries 6 лет назад

The scallop is for looks I guess. It could be argued that it's for weight reduction, but you'd have to ask Jesse why he did it haha. I just build with them.... I think it would be neat to have the option with or without the scallops but I like the look with them. It's like a signature look where someone knows you have the product.

@HardwayRanch 6 лет назад

I suppose if covered with heat-wrap it will look just fine. But as a bare metal finish I think it looks like crap. I agree that the product cuts labor costs if this is important, but for a hobbyist the cost is outrageous and the product takes away from the creative experience of working from scratch. If left exposed, to me, it looks like a blatant display of money thrown at a project.

@boostedbuiltgarage 6 лет назад

Really cool idea but I could never justify that kind of cost

@MrMrsregor 6 лет назад

right, $20 each x 60 of them = $1200 .!.

@Frankiebonez337 6 лет назад

If you factor in the time and everything it might be worth it. If you want your bike back sooner than later also, time is money. Depending on what the hourly rate of the fabricator is, if it saves 2 hours of labor @100$ an hour or more, you could get 10+ shogun cuts for the same price and have the product done 2 hours earlier.

@jameswoodsist 6 лет назад

as a professional fabricator i couldnt justify the cost at all. not when a 10 foot section of tube (enough to do several of these motorcycle exhausts) costs as much as a single shogun cut. the price is just not viable imo. any fabricator that has the skill to attract a customer willing to pay 1200 dollars for an exhaust should be able to do a pie cut exhaust from regular tubing that looks just as good if not better in a reasonable time frame.

@shelvins1841 6 лет назад

Great video as always. I'm still new to TIG and trying to pick up everything I can but one question I've had is, what is that towel/pad you put under your hand when your resting your hand on the workpeice? Is that so you can move around the workpeice in a smooth motion? I've never seen one of those until I started watching your videos. Thanks and keep the videos, I've learned a TON.

@TheFabricatorSeries 6 лет назад

Shelvin Singh That's a spark plug boot to keep the heat down. Jody from Welding Tips and Tricks sells the TIG Finger which is more effective. Mine always seem to find their way to other peoples fingers and disappear, so I just use spark plug boots. Nobody steals them.

@destro513 6 лет назад

At 1200 bucks for 60 pieces they would be best invested for mock up. Just imagine gow much a gt40 style bundle of snakes set of pipes would be and then att say 40 oz times 8 pipes.

@ClimptonDiddlehopper 6 лет назад

I like the thickness but the scallop is offputting. The idea used to be clean bends. Then stainless came and it was clean welded bends. Now I'm not wasting money on these and it's only the look. Chops are about looks and these start reminding me of that crappy flex exhaust tubing that shows up once in awhile.

@TheFabricatorSeries 6 лет назад

It reminds me of that flex stuff as well, but the beauty of looks on builds and choppers is that they are ever evolving.

@lilflatty2472 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same damn thing! Looks just like that flex exhaust you can buy at autozone.

@jediknight1294 3 года назад

For me they remind me of the hyper complex pie cut 2 stroke exhausts and I think if done well they could look great. I'd prefer one without the scallop but I get that JJ has his look and style that he likes. I can see a real use for these as part of a system on a rat/survival build I have sketched out as a one day build.

@pero2727 6 лет назад

Ha! Great idea, stupid pricepoint. I guess I'll just make my own lipped piecuts on the lathe. They also won't have the scalloped look and will be as light as normal piecuts. Both of these are advantages over the shoguns in my mind.

@nickwells2286 6 лет назад

How much do the shoguns blue after riding for a while? I'm guessing that straight section turns a lot faster than the cuts, but still curious to see how it looks after a few good rides.

@TrojanHorse1959 6 лет назад

How would they rob you of power if you tuned for them?

@eddebevic2097 6 лет назад

You can tune all you want but straight pipes will rob your horsepower!! They have dyno runs all over the inet to prove it, don't take my word for it.

@TrojanHorse1959 6 лет назад

I'm just trying to understand how they would rob you of power. Do you know how or why they would? EDIT: Nevermind, I found some info. It says the effect is minimal at only 2% - 3% and this below. "A straight pipe, for example, can cause exhaust gas velocity to increase. This will likely reduce engine performance below 2,000 or 2,500 RPM, making your vehicle a little slower to launch from a stoplight. Your engine may show more horsepower on a dyno - and might even finish the quarter mile a little faster - but it won’t be faster on the street." Not enough to worry too much about IMO.

@eddebevic2097 6 лет назад

I have been tuning Harleys for a long time and trust me straight pipes rob your horsepower, you always ride your bike under 3000 RPM unless you have a dragbike but even a dragbike you want some type of megaphone, like I said they sound great.

@TrojanHorse1959 6 лет назад

Ok, thanks for answering, I appreciate it.

@dukecraig2402 6 лет назад

So after you fab it up with those things. Take that pipe profile to a mandrel bending shop and have it done properly in seamless pipe so there is no edges to create turbulence inside the pipe which WILL happen with all those pieces. This is how a backyard hack makes an exhaust. If youve never had a formal education in pneumatics and hydraulics then you wouldn't know how bad a little edge or angle in a pipe adds turbulence to the flow.
