looks like square tubing and the bend looks allitle sharp hard to tell from picks pics but it almost looks like the tube is kinked at the bend a smooth bend will be stronger and wile your doing it you should get the correct tubing and the right radius so it will last their is info on hear about bending the tubing and it works also a place to get the tubing

If your going to do it, might as well do it right....

That sharp corner tubing isnt going to cut it.

All my concerns radius of bend to tight looks stretched also square corner tube is where cracks start roosty has the right tubing. Stoffers has some side shots that shows how tight you want the tube in relation to the engine bobs right mate built it once build it right

It is square tubing and why is this weaker than round corner tubing just curiouse i was told it is no weaker i would like to know it is t6??? It is not elded yet so i can change it thats why i posted pics up and the bend fits the motor and the pipe but i agree it does look steep... who has prices on the round corner tubing? thanks for the input

the sharp corners is where it starts to crack from

look at the stickey in the a/f only intro whear it says tubing avilable roosty is a good dude he will hook u up with the right stuff i matched the radious of the tubes i cut out and it worked perfect or if u dont have the stuff to bend it correctly buy some from p stoffers also in the intro i have also bought from him nother good dude
