Being in the aviation field occassionally has its perks. For instance having access to exotic materials such as carbonfibre, arimid (kevlar), inconel and titanium. So a couple days ago I was rumaging tbrough a crate of parts and came across a section of inconel exhaust tubing. I took one look at the flange and knew what to use it for. A velocity stack for my scoot!!! I still need a section of rubber or silicone radiator hose and a hose clamp to mount it but heres what I made:

All polished up. I sprayed it with a coat of clear which slightly grey'd the color, but no pics.

I also decided not to waste $15 on an aftermarket fan when I could just paint mine to acheive the same look. I sprayed it with aircraft grade epoxy sptay paint... Should last ;)
