gotta_goatsfast Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Basically what the title asks. I've got an IMS 5.5 gallon gas tank. My engine build includes the option of either CPI or Rocket R2 pipes, but the R2s look like they rise up and out quite a bit. Maybe enough to interfere with the oversized tank?

gotta_goatsfast Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Guys, I got a response back from a gentleman who was handling Tom's sales. To his knowledge, he believes the pipes will work just fine. He told me Tom would get back with me to confirm. Anyone else have input on the subject? Just looking at the pictures of the R2 pipes, it appears the expansion pipes will come in contact, or dangerously close to the IMS tank. My tank sits below the frame tube and out almost 2 inches, which is right about where people are trimming their front fenders to make room for the R2s.

bansheecaptain Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 i have the clark tank but i would imagine its the same thing for room with r2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 unless it hangs out like 5 inches on both sides you will be fine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 unless it hangs out like 5 inches on both sides you will be fine.... The R2s have that much space between the frame and the pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 lol no but i think you will be fine. I took these pics for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Awesome, dude! I appreciate the close ups. I think it will clear the tank... but it will be with minimal clearance. Maybe I can tweak things up on the tank and out on the pipes a little. Or use a little adhesive thermal barrier where the pipe faces the plastic. My tank sits about 1.5-2 inches wider on each side than the stock tank. Basically, where you've trimmed your plastics-on the interior-is where my tank reaches out to. Anyway, thanks again for the pictures. I'll pick up a set of R2s soon and just play with them until it all fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2strokespirit Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I actually contacted him for the same thing, never got a answer, don't know if he didn't get my message, but I was also concerned about the same thing.... But by the looks of that pic, it seems the pipes fit a clear distance from the frame..... I still doubt its going to be a save fit.... 10mm would be safe IMO.... Please let me know if you purchase a set and if they fit savely... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotta_goatsfast Posted December 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well guys, I purchased the serval cylinder and all the guts for it... after I get the motor together and recoup some funds I plan on purchasing some chrome R2s and get it all together. When that happens, I will post up if they fit, how they fit, and if there is any modifications needed to make them fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted GMC Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I had CPI Big bores with Clark tank you can see it in my sig. The R2s hit the clark tank. My tank looks just the the one in the picture above and I had to put the stock tank back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
