Speedwerx pipe alingment?

[x2ryder]

4th SW dry pipe never had one off this far on the upper brackets. The 2 pics are with the flywheel cover bolt attached per Speedwerx's directions. Is my only option to slot these?

Wow, that one is way off for sure.

I heard they had changed their jig and the ones prior to that were normally way off, but that looks like the later bracket so it doesn't make sense.

I didn't run the flywheel cover mount on mine, just the top and never really had issues---just make sure you have a girdled head.

Make a new bracket.

hmmmmmmmmm, is your coupler too long forcing the pipe back some or is this without the coupler.

I am thinking the SW that I had a custom bracket on it. May have been because of this, I still had to slot it a good bit.

No actually the pipe fits in the coupler fine.

Your's was the early design I mentioned.


Do a dry fit with just the head mounts, no couplers on either end of the chamber and no flywheel mount either.

That's what I did, then slotted it to match the holes, plus cut the stinger off and reattached it with a short section of hose at an angle to mate up with the exhaust elbow better.

Almost looks like my best option would be to take the top lord mounts of the bracket and move them?

I just talked to Speedwerx. They said they only ever had one jig to weld the pipes.

Strange, I was the first person to get a freestyle dry pipe from them and was told they had changed the jigs like a year or two earlier because I mentioned how my buddy's race pipe didn't fit too well. That was like 6 years ago though...

 

[x2ryder]

You could be right. They might not remember.

I took the coupler off and got the mounts to line up on the head. I had to drill a new hole for the flywheel cover lord mount. It fits good now. Thanks for all the input.
