When i still had the stock manifolds I did a custom 2.5inch mandrel bent setup. that whole system is now on my brothers car with the 3400 swap done in it.

[1QUICKHATCH]

I made a down pipe and the full exasut on 14seconddreams car, it turned out really good! have to get around to making my own one day!

[Chris88CL]

I welded up a downpipe and full exhaust on a cavalier with the 2000+ 3100 swap using mandrel bends. What a pain in the rear.....

[Jon89LE]

Ill be doing this without the car up in the air so I bet my buddy in I will be saying a few chosen words as well. Haha.

[patgizz]

i made 2.5" one for my 3400. i actually just modified(added length to) a stock 3.4 dohc pipe before the first bend.

aaron - why in the hell do you bother posting in the pushrod section, with your stuff that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH PUSHRODS OR THE TOPIC AT HAND.

[Jon89LE]

Seems to be a popular thing then. Im hoping it kinda helps the motor out. Im also contemplating wrapping the exhaust manifolds, crossover and top half of the downpipe. A 1' x 50' roll from DEI i believe is $25 from Summit so i may just throw that in the cart with the bends. That should be good for a couple ponies on its own.

[Quinky]

the wrap wont really help with hp... the down pipe and full exhaust will help though

[Jon89LE]

By wrapping the exhaust i should see atleast a 50* drop. That should without a doubt increase efficiency should it not?

[malibu97ss]

the wrap may help with power if it keeps underhod temps lower(cooler intake), but 50degrees seems a bit optomistic...it's also supposed to increase exhaust velocity by keeping temps up inside the pipe, but i would only count on picking up a little tiny part of a pony from the wrap.

[Jon89LE]

I wasnt expecting any huge noticeable gains but i did want to see the temp drop. The Gen2 seems to like a faster intake charge as opposed to a larger one but im going to try and make an intake arm with a short filter and see what happens. For giggles atleast, haha.
