Collaborative early a experiment

Here is my solution to the torsion bar and 340 manifolds' clearance problem on 67 and up A bodies and Early A bodies as well. It's a super/super tight radius mandrel bent 2 1/2" Donut. This thing has a bend radius of 2 1/2", which is unattainable using a standard mandrel pipe bender. Even Vibrant, a great manufacturer of mandrel bent pipe, can not get close to 2 1/2" radius on 2 1/2" pipe!! My plan is to cut this Donut into sections and weld the sections to the stub pipes I sell so that FABO members can buy the fabricated, super tight radius, mandrel bend elbow already attached to the 340 flat flange. This way members won't have to worry about choking down their great flowing 340 manifolds with a muffler shop bent pipe. Since this Donut is the tightest radius 2 1/2" pipe you can buy there's no way you can get more clearance or flow than by using what I am manufacturing. I'll post pics of the process as I go along, if I don't freeze to death @&%^_)&($&%)^_(^!!!!!! outside.
This will come out just the last pic of my Barracuda exhaust except this Donut is a larger diameter (2 1/2" VS 2 1/4") and a tighter radius (2 1/2"R VS 3 1/2"R) !!! But it should have more torsion bar clearance. I only wish I had one of these Donuts when I built my exhaust!!
Still waiting for a volunteer to test my 340/360 magnum Early A body theory!!!!!
PS - I think I have too much time on my hands!!!
