It started with a set of \u201ccone pipes\u201d built from cones rolled in a slip roll and TIG welded. We then built multiple designs and many sets of pipes using \u201cpoor-man\u2019s hydroforming\u201d with a pressure washer. The results were significantly improved performance and much smoother and a more producible design. The image below shows both exhausts from the hydroformed process. Each pipe is made from 3 separate hydroforms &#8211; header, mid-pipe, expansion chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
