Turbo LS Street truck build. making an over elaborate downpipe

[@HMan2828]

Merge the wastegate dump into the downpipe! Little more difficult to put in and out, since you have two V-bands, but worth the effort!

[@XxAtomic646xX]

hell nah... open wastegate sounds sick. also, a dumped WG eliminates near all boost creep issues. overall its just healthier for the engine to run open WG

[@almstlegalgarage]

Nahhh. Taylor wants open screamer pipe on the street truck 😂

[@chrisbooge2217]

@@XxAtomic646xX there's a lot of cars that still have boost creep with an open WG its more about WG size and design.

[@xiukn8]

How he can take it off if there is a manifold on the left and wastegate on the right? He also cant rotate

[@hooviedoovie5220]

Maybe you should route the wastegate dump into the downpipe, the scavenging you’d get from the rest of the exhaust flow might help with boost creep.

[@Axial32]

Agreed and save that alignment guy some troubles down the line

[@maldenfoster]

I had this exact thought last video

[@bigdaddyd3450]

Agreed hope Taylor reads your suggestion

[@Chazileezy]

Everyone like this comment so he sees it!

[@ItsJacobBrown]

looks like if he does route it back to the downpipe the downpipe would be impossible to get out

[@kbc04920]

Don’t forget you can buy a 4” stainless exhaust from a duramax and piece all of it together to complete a 4” exhaust.

[@kyleridout6794]

thats 409 stainless which will rust and isnt anywhere near the quality of 304 stainless

[@kbc04920]

@@kyleridout6794 oh trust me I know dealt with metal a long time . But in the Florida climate, and basic cleaning that 409 will last forever down there for him. I was simply just making a suggestion for him so if he didn’t want to spend the time to build a full exhaust there was ones readily available

[@kbc04920]

@@eriklarson9137 I’m moderately confused by you comment. I wasn’t in any way trying to give him advice, I wasn’t in any way saying I was better than him or had a more successful KZbin. I am a professional welder and have been for 12 years but I’m not at all saying anything poorly against Taylor or anything he does I wasn’t even saying anything bad in his exhaust. I literally was just suggesting that there was pre made 4” exhaust that can be bought for duramaxs so that if he didn’t want to spend the time fabricating a smaller exhaust he could simply purchase a full exhaust. I commended his ability to fabricate all he does.

I refuse to call the pie cuts silly and extra and kind of off! That’s character man, especially when you know each weld adds to your overall experience and the nice rugged look on the setup! Awesome series.

[@twray9029]

Awesome drive last night at the 2.4 hours of lemullets you definitely did your job (again) in putting your team in a position to win! Oh, you also should have mentioned to Kevin that the windshield wipers worked LOL

Sick 2.4 lemullets race taylor

[@ls_812]

It's awesome how Taylor can use his head and race not letting his emotions or ego take over .. freedom factory owes Kevin and Taylor Ray a win.. sometimes they say you got to lose one before you can win one. These guys will soon be on a winning streak I guess!

Recirculate that wastegate. It’s already right there. Doing twins on my ls and they gates will be recirculated, largely in part to what you’re experiencing right now

[@maldenfoster]

Pie cuts always look gnarly imo also it shows how much effort someone is willing to put in a project.

[@MrRunWO]

I love this build because I have a Silverado that I want to turbo someday

[@swisscourthustle]

As others have said, I’d be recirculating the wastegate tube. It has a perfect straight shot to the dump pipe.

[@fluffymcbottom5021]

Hey Taylor you should route the waste gate pipe into your exhaust so it’s sucks it out when the waste gate is wide open and it’ll be more sleepery

[@brianproffitt7263]

Easily one of my favorite channels

[@nikb412]

My vote is on electric cut outs that open at like 75% throttle

[@fredmortensen5107]

Great job bud, only possible problem I’m seeing is that brake line is going to get cooked and reduce the life of that fluid by a lot so some insulation or heat wrap could easily fix the issue and solve some of the engine rock concerns.

[@dumbaccount6855]

Most humble and kind dude on KZbin

PIE CUTS!!!!!! Looks awesome man. And great job at lemullets. You and Kev had that W

[@CraaaigV302]

Coming out so sick dude u definitely should do some heat management wit some heat wrap heat reflective tape and a turbo blanket or have them ceramic coated wit the manifolds cuz that area is gonna be extremely hot with the manifold the turbo the waste gate down pipe and dump tube all being right there ND the turbo is close to the coil that's closest to the front of the motor it's gonna get some things pretty crispy

[@derekharmon8699]

Listening to atmosphere is legit focus music bro, Nice!!!

[@TwinTurboLsx]

I love pie cuts. I just finished the custom turbo system on my 04 Silverado ss. zero mandrel ends. ALL pie cuts. excellent for compound/multidirectional bends etc. I love them. I can weld pretty good so it looks great too.

[@dansimpson6247]

Man Taylor, if I counted the amount of pie cuts correct at 15 or so, at 4 inch diameter, you made just shy of 16 feet in welds on that dump tube! Really well done in my humble opinion! Great content!

[@CTemple82]

Get all the cold side powder coated wrinkle black to hide the aluminum pie cut welds and help them blend in and just look better. Black the compressor housing as well and put the black valve covers on so it looks clean and kinda OEM.

[@monroefive-o40]

Boy that belt grinder is one nice tool!

[@n00bPwner1233]

Hey Taylor! Just a quick heads up, you might want to invest in a fresh air hood or some sort of vent if you plan to keep welding stainless. Stainless off gasses hexavalent chromium and will not only make you really sick but can give you something similar to Parkinson’s. We all care about your health so take care of yourself!

[@outinthebackyard7579]

I like pie if you tie the wg dump in to the exhaust it will cause a Venturi effect and make the wastegate more efficient

[@DavidNewkirk]

Taylor shows up to the family Thanksgiving. Someone says who wants to cut the pie? Taylor leaps out of his chair and shouts "I love Fabrication!" 🤣

[@ModernBeastx1]

You should try back purging makes the welds look so much cleaner and try going as far as you can with the bead before you stop/start!

[@vanlifeislife5318]

If you purge your stainless it will give you a better weld. You can buy rubber bungs that tighten in by wold for each end for basically nothing and will make a big difference on your welds 👌

[@nicholashall7233]

You could add a wastegate to the crossover tube if you have creep issues. You won't need to re-do all the work to the existing gate setup that way.

I think I've welded up about 1000 pie cuts Alu, Ti and SS .. I love pie cuts and the best looking material is Ti, but they all have their own beauty. AA clean weld on Alu is the key, weld the alu on a vibration table.. it will help.

[@kurlyfry7916]

What’s a vibration table? Can’t seem to find much about it online

[@ianskinner1619]

@@kurlyfry7916 when i learned to weld , it was from an old aircraft frame welder, he had a table he did as much of his work as possible on. He had a 1/8 motor mounted to the bottom of the table that has a small weight taped to the spindle , when turned it on the imbalance created a vibration in the table that let the weld pool ease into its self, some of the smoothest and most solid welds ive sever seen, i made one for myself and profit. I had seen them before online, but forget where.

[@davesharp5507]

Awesome video as always! I love the content on this build and can't wait to see it in use!

[@LordMustangGT93]

you know you can put the gate on the pipe from the other bank, and it would work fine, ask me how i know. In my turbo 5.0L mustang, the gate is put in the perfect position so it can release basically all the exhaust gas from one bank. works great. And its a 38mm gate is all with a 68/65 turbo. Zero creep.

[@kennykepner8713]

It looks like you could have drilled into the manifold where that rectangle is on the manifold and put the wastegate there and recerted back into the downpipe super easy

[@mikeyacullo]

Looks great

[@ChinitFxt]

Looks good dude

[@virginiomaldonado2746]

[@b1pig]

@11:53, Tell me what you think of the progress.... using ONLY DAD JOKES. ;-)

[@anomamos9095]

If you extend the bank cross over into a Y pipe and put a waste gate at the end it will help with boost creep. The exhaust will head to the Y in preference to the Turbo from both banks.
