it actually works perfect for me to wait for the pipe from dean, cause im buying a psd downpipe its clamp, a piece of a psd intake, and the part that puts pressure to the psd engine and its clamp. so im fine with waiting, but it may be a few weeks before i get this done i wont get to work as much now, spring break ends this weekend so its back to school and then to work in the evenings, so it may be 3-5 weeks before i get done but i will get it done.

Not trying to be a smart *** doubter, but how are you going to SEAL it around the intake.
Would you prefer thick wall heavy pipe or a thinner pipe you will have to braze instead of weld. Cuz I know for a fact I have a 10 feet of 5'' smoke stack (can you say chrome), then I have some good oil field stuff with 1/4'' sidewall, but I"m not sure what all sizes I have in that

They aren't pefectly good smoke stack so cutting a good piece out of them doesn't hurt me, they are three pieces of stacks from wrecked semi's, so they got bent ends and what not, but they reason I have them is the tips are still good, but the rest of the pipe isn't straight enough in a long enough piece to do anything with.
but I'll check and dig in my selection, I've gota good 200 piece pile behind my shop.

im going to get a gasket that goes between the carb and aircleaner on a cheby, lol same size as our intake holes, and it would be better if it wasnt thin but how thin is thin? and you dont really need to cut up some nice smoke stacks do you? i would rather be able to weld it, but my grand pa can braze, but i guess thicker will kinda help seal better so then it would need to be 5 inch id pipe
That should work fine to mount it thats how the ATS system mounts and seals the intake hat. I think you would probly want something a bit thicker than the smoke stack so you have a bigger seating surface.

I'm assuming when you say it needs to be "perfectly flat" you mean the end needs to be true/square.
If that's the case have someone with a lathe square the ends for you. It wouldn't take much for someone to do that.
