SLORYDER Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to weld big flanges onto a big bore drag pipe with small flanges?? Would it affect the power in a negative way? I found a good deal on some CPI BB's w/ small flanges, and I could graft the big flanges from my Trinity's...Thanks..

jbooker82 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I dont see why you couldnt. I would just buy big bore big flang cpi's. You will probably ruin the chrome on the cpi's. I doubt you will get as much out of the trinitys with welded on flanges. Why would some buy choped up pipes when can get trinity's that arnt hacked up and re welded.

The CPI's are raw, with silencers for $375 shipped. Seems like a good deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 The flanges that your going to cut off the trinity pipes are going to cost you at least 200 bucks (figurning in the loss in resale value of the trinity pipes). I dont see you being able to sell a set of trinity stainless steel pipes with mild steel flanges welded on. They will look different and eventualy rust. Yea you will be able to sell them but you wont get near as much as you would if you left them alone. PM Frogger on here. He can get you a good deal on CPI's. See what he can do for you. I have seen him selling bran new chrome cpi's at really good prices. If you need them cheap then have him do a price check on bare steel.
