PSweeney:
I'm having  a hard time getting 2" tubes positioned properly on a Stahl flange.  I want short tubes, and tight turns but the centre ports are limiting the amount I can lay the tubes back, about 80 degrees is max.  Any advice on how to position the tubes, or which radius to use to get them raked back ?

rooman:
Phil, the only way to get a lot of lay back with a small block (or anything else with paired center ports) is to run the forward pipe around the outside of the second one.

Roo

PSweeney:
thanks Roo, not sure how I'm gonna get round this one, I read somewhere bending each tube 3 degrees more and increasing the pipes length at the head towards the back should line them up so they can lay over ?

Paul New:
Here are some I built granted they have pipes that start in the radius no straight section coming out of the flange hard to see in this pic but it is the only one I have on my phone

retroboy:
Hey Phil. These are some I've just done for SBM as Roo suggested. These pipes are 15" long are an 80 degree bend.
Cheers
Tony
