ive been thinking.I'll have to ask them to make the end pieces about 20mm longer..if needs be they can be cut but because of the depth or length of the end caps on the intercooler and the elbow of the charger 20mm shouldnt make a difference.
anyways. Ive made contact with Dan at Viper and the next port of call is a photograph. I need someone with decent camera skills to take a handful of photos of one they have off a car, inside of the pipe is important. Can you pm me them if possible please? could this person also measure the diameter and length as this too would be very helpful.
From there I am hoping to send an example of one to them. One with rips or tears is fine but must be complete without chunks missing. Again I'll need the clubs help for this as I do not have a duff one to send.
One major thing which will effect cost massively is the shape. If I push for an identical copy it could well go into hundreds for the tool because of the inner 'swirl' pattern. If we go for a slightly curved one without these ribs but with the classic 'look' (see first post link) then it should still be very oem but will not be exact. Can we discuss how important this swirl pattern is inside of the pipe? As i said this will drastically effect cost. Obviously any costs at this point are unknown until photographs and a sample are provided but i will ask about an exact copy before anything else.
One more thing to add is numbers. I'd like 10 but 12-15 is a better number so catering for stuff like toothed pullies smaller pullies is obviously important.
thanks guys..if you can help with photos and or samples that'd be great.
Dan
