Do you have a dictionary to go with that grammar?

What is the O.D. of the pipes going to be when you twist them together?

Hi

Do you mean one complete twist of the 4 tubes ? So basically straight out tubes with no inserts at all.
You must post some pics of this. I just can't imagine the looks of this, may be with a heat shield mounted.

Good luck. Günther

THE PIPES WILL CONSIST OF FOUR PIPES PUT TOGETHER LIKE SO [ ] THEN TWIST ALL FOUR INTO A SPIRAL RAN RIGHT OFF THE SIDE MOUNT HEADERS NO INSERTS WIDE OPEN (STRIAGHT) PIPES CHROMED UP WITH NO HEAT SHEILD IT WOULD HIDE THE EFFECT OF THE CUSTOM BLING.

Yeah, I thought of that, then I thought it might look okay, but I decided that it would be beneficial feeding all the exhaust gases into one tube rather than splitting them like that.

Hi

Won't you loose power exhausting each cylinder individually ?
I thought that the previous exhausted cylinder exhaust draft helps sucking the next exhausting cylinder empty and so on.
That's why headers need specific lenght tubes .

Don't make the I.D. bigger than the O.D. or the hole will be on the outside.
