My new project: Trap-Ox Bypass Pipe. 1985 CA emissions 300D

[ROLLGUY]

Since my Sanden A/C bracket project has been in full swing for the past year or so, I now have a Trap-Ox bypass pipe that is in the finishing stages. I have a prototype that I am going to install on my bro's '85 CA emissions 300D. Here are the photos:




The pipe is made using 16 ga mandrel bent tubing, and TIG welded together. This prototype was made with the flanges harvested from a Trap-Ox, but the production units will be made with new laser cut flanges. I did not like how others I have seen were made, so I designed this one better (in my opinion). Others I have seen use smaller tubing, and don't square the end of the tubing that goes to the turbo. The tubing size is the largest it can be- 2" swedged to fit inside 2 1/4". The pipe is painted with high heat "header" paint. Once I get the prototype installed (and no problems are found), I will start production. I would also like to get an idea of how many people may like to order one. The kit will come with all the hardware and gaskets. I am shooting for a price of around $150 per kit....Rich
