that is the 6" jig i need to snap pics of the 4" jig. that is also a pic of a homemade 6" aero i use schedule 35 for the 6" and the 4" i use crush pipe. we have used schedule 20 on the 6" jig and it worked fine.

the reason aero's work i believe it is becuz they work on the same reason of a megaphone.

matt- what do u mean? i can sell you a jig if you like or i could possibly make flares or a port to sell. i haven't thought about sellin flares or ports just thought about the jigs. but if you like i could come up with a price for the flare it self or a port.
jacob-that is a jig to make the aero port urself. all u do is heat the pvc with a heat gun while spining the pvc and then when its ready and pilable push down and the pvc will take the form of jig then hold it there and cool the pvc and u have 1 flare.

joe- i could probably do $50 on a 6" (1 6" aero is more than that)
justin- i could probably do $35 on a 4" (2 4" aeros are more than that)

the 6" jig i think will flare out to 9.25" or more.
here is a recent box with the 6" port in it.Upload

Rovin...."i dunno man but even aero ports have smaller port area there is just something magical about them which sounds so deadly"

Ill tell you the "magical secret" you guys are only flaring the ends of your ports......aero ports start one width and go wider from start to finish if my memory serves me right

BTW, welcome to the forum. You seem like a knowledgable person. Careful not to step in any dogshit along the way.

yes my dad did turn them on a lathe.

the work window i believe with the crush pipe is probably 10 seconds. with the schedule 35 that i use for 6" its a lil longer not much maybe 15 seconds.

sean- you want 2 ports? pm me.

justin- yes i do its csuho aim

thanks for the welcome guys ya i have been around this stuff for maybe a lil too much i think the mdf dust might get to me a lil.

Have you done any work on a lathe yourself Chris?



It's really rewarding, and a good skill to learn.

rovin- thanks i thought it turned out nice too in the car since the car is the same color.

matt- i understand about the long days i have had some myself in the kitchen.. but to make a 6" i would say from cuttin the pipe to the finished port it takes about 10 mins give or take. since the schedule 35 takes a while to heat up. oh and sorry to hijack your post.

paul- very little my dad was a high school shop teacher so he had axcess to all the fun tools.
