BNR34 TITANIUM GOODNESS

I recently took some time to fabricate a couple of essential components to aid this fantastic 34 in its quest for big power numbers. The goal is to make a stout amount of power with stock location twins so Art of Assembly had me do a custom hot pipe setup, larger diameter intakes to suite a carbon airbox and a twin 3" inlet downpipe with a large exit merge to play well with the exhaust I previously built for this car. I tried to cover a broad spectrum of the work on this project from the initial thought process and planning, explanation of execution, I toss in a few weld techniques/weld shots as well (I've gotten a few requests for this, if you guys like these please let me know and I'd be happy to do more), and an overview of the finished product. I apologize for the mic placement on the intro, I am still learning.

Posting all this without a sound clip is devious.

[@Leaskspec]

Sound clip coming once the new setup is getting dyno tuned 😁 the car immediately went to art of assembly for disassembly to receive its new heart

[@ieenz]

🙌🏼 epic work as per usual

[@i.parafin]

Thanks for sharing the tips your work looks like art!

[@uhusocip]

The clearance for the mines pipe is my biggest gripe about it. Sits way too low and roads in ATX just love to give it little love taps

[@Leaskspec]

Its a great part but it definitely has its inherent flaws. I currently run one on my 33 and it is demolished

[@Finalmemory_]

super sick 🤩

[@NicolaasPlatenkamp]

Great Job! The welds look very nice to me and done properly.

[@Leaskspec]

appreciate it very much! thank you!

[@joao_bridge]

Just to clarify - you do a lower amp "root pass" and then an additional hot pass? Might have to try this!

[@Leaskspec]

Only on lap joints yes. I haven’t been able to consistently avoid keyhole’ing until I utilized this method. Ideally the root is just a very low amp fusion pass but if there’s a slight gap that won’t fuse I’ll add a little filler

[@AlexComeau]

Always amazing work, I've been following you on instagram for years.

[@thegodfther13]

Will you be offering the EL downpipes for purchase?

[@Leaskspec]

Yes I will! I'll announce the configurations here in the near future

[@whanson87]

Could you use an oval section for the lowest point on the rear turbo's downpipe to help with clearance? I'm neither a fabricator nor a welder so I don't know if there is enough length before/after to complete a round-to-oval-to-round transition.

[@Leaskspec]

It’s a fair idea but committing to oval means there needs to be a transition to and from round to oval. This requires a great deal of length and often times makes oval tougher to deal with

[@whanson87]

@@Leaskspec That's kind of what I figured would be the issue. Love your work and the content!

[@Leaskspec]

Much appreciated, thank you thank you!!
