I went to work at a shortline about 5 years back . I have 25 years in hands on all aspects steel fabrication experience They hired me to build their fabrication skills and put together a shop tied to the mechanical department . But had to put me in exsisting department that had an opening. Which was in mechanical.. I took the job becuase of the apeal of the benefits. I designed and built spark arrestor attachment pipes for gp38 locomotives with 2 stroke engines. Which can throw some serious fire up in the air. I think I will just say it was Interesting working for the railroad..fun at times even. I made it 3.5 years found out my mechanical manager was actually trying to pass my skills off as his own. Which has zero of at all in the fabrication world . And was succsesfull enough to get a regional promotion about 6 months after I quit. He is good at stealing knowledge from many people in his career. I can't say I miss railroading

Very good instructional video! One trick I use for drawing a straight line on pipe, is to lay a length of angle iron on it, such as 1"×1" ×1/8. It works very well. Larger pipe, I'd use larger angle. It self centers.

Love watching this kind of work. I do this kind of work for a living so I take quite the appreciation in seeing others methods in figuring this stuff out. I'll be working on an x pipe configuration for my 98 grand Cherokee with a 5.2 V8. I think what's going to be best in my opinion would be a combination of the splayed x portion @ 45* spread and 45* turns to capture the end and make parallel. I tend to like this style of X-pipe for the best flow characteristics as the merge portion is done in a straight section of tube versus a radius. However, packaging is king and sometimes that don't always work. Thanks for the awesome content Justin!

Austin, another quality video, chuck full of information with little easy math. Great Italian bandsaw with the motor mounted on a gear reduction gear box, plus water-based cutting fluid. I saw what appears to be a 220 volt sticker. I bought a MIG in 1984 build in Italy by the largest manufacturer in their country, still works fine today, but no TIG. Being forced to retire way early, I will own one. I know what’s like to run out of shield gas, why does it always happen on the weekend. Plus, I have seen the cost for 25/75 from $28.52 in 84 to $112.18 just in late 2019 and have every receipt in the file cabinet. Keep up the good work.

A much faster and accurate way to get a centerline on tubes is to take two pieces of tubbing of the same diameter, clamp or tack them together at the ends, take a straightedge or similar, lay it over perpendicular to the lenght and drag it along the tubes. Flip them over and do the other side. Boom! Lines on exact center exactly opposite each other!

From what I understand, you could also make a y pipe by welding two angled pieces together and lobbing off the end. Still have to swage or flare it to make it round, but it should be a little faster fab wise. Probably better for making Y's that have a bigger single pipe than the two individual pipes. Which, by the way, are made for overall flow rate matching. If you have a V8 making 600HP, then you have to either have 1 pipe that can handle all of that flow, or two pipes that can handle half of that flow. 2.5 duals can do it, but a 2.5 Y into 2.5 will likely choke it. This is why you go 2.5 Y into 3.5, as the total tubular area of a single 3.5 is about the same as two 2.5 pipes.
@TheMrREVOlutionary3 жыл бұрын
I've actually built a few Y pipes this way. Honestly it's the same whether you use a radius or a straight with some kind of angle cut. How you mentioned does make it a rather simple and time effective way but can limit packaging too. Whatever fits and has relatively good flow characteristics is king! 😎

Instead of cutting 4x 90-deg pieces and then 4x 22,5 deg again, you can immediately cut 1x 90 deg to get 2 halves, and then each half 22,5 deg in its center. As it is the same cut, the 2 halves will be exact mirrors of each other.

@kenselleck24143 жыл бұрын
On an X pipe the elliptical area should be the same as the cross section of the pipe. The outlet pipes can have reduced diameter after the X without flow loss as long as the cross section of the outlet pipes together isn't less than 1.5 times the cross section of one of the inlet pipes. Also on a y pipe the exit should be 1.5 times the cross section of the inlet pipes. If the inlet pipes are the correct diameter merging into the same size pipe will be a restriction. You need a larger outlet because the frequency of the exhaust pulse doubles.

I'm curious about how you weld in between those pipes when you can't even get the cup in there. I see you tagged them prior to full assembly, but you didn't weld them. I assume you could weld them at anytime, but to get in between those close junctions like on the X's, this is where you will have problems welding because of the cup on the tip
