Re: long tubes

Curious how you think this is gonna happen for less than $50? Cause you need the V6 flanges, and collectors, which would be more than $50 right there. Plus bending and welding the pipe.

And not very good at header design if your using 3" collectors on a 231 cubic inch V6. There is a lot more to it than just cutting and welding the pipe together.

Re: long tubes

Good luck man. I think the flanges will be your downfall.
