I'm working on a rat solution to the intake silencer - or whatever that big black plastic air flow obstruction device is call.
I have a 4" 90* elbow that I need to bend in about 10 more degrees. I haven't found anyone locally that can bend that large of a tube, so I need to get creative.
The only option I've come up with so far is to heat the bend. I'll need two torches and second set of hands to try this one. I'll have to have the inside of the bend heated even with the outside, but the outside will need to be a larger area 'glowing' than the inside. It's a bit tricky to say the least.
Any other thoughts on how to skin this one?
Thanks,
Eric
