I am going to pull a ToughDbag1 here and say HOLY BIRD SHIT WELDS!!! That welder needs to turn up the heat and down on the wire speed!
anyways. with that V band in the way it makes things a bit harder. you would have to cut that off move it up higher, and make a better, tighter bend there. I see what your talking about though.
how about just slice a inch and a half off the bottom and weld a flat piece of plate back on! lol would cause a little choke point but who knows. :rofl
for real though. let me see what we can do.
EDIT, i see the flex section is up stream from the vband clamp there… i gotcha now.
