Customs Fenton Ripple Pipes

Post up your ripple side pipes! We now have 2 sets in our club here in South Florida which has brought up some questions. Was Fenton the only one to manufacturer/ sell them or were there others? Were there variations?
The 1st set belongs to Texastrader and are going on her 53 Chevy 150 these are a 2 piece design with smaller sections of ripples, the 2nd set belongs to Movinman and just came off of his 51 Merc to go on his 52 Merc convertible, 1 piece design, note the longer sections of ripples.

 

This pair has just sold this week in uk for £70!!

 

Ill double the money

 

I was so tempted to buy them!! Provisionally sold now

 

I’ve just sent him a message for you!!

 

Man thats fantastic. Thankn you!

 

Still on the trail

 

I remember back in the day, auto parts stores sold un-chromed ripple exhaust pipe that you could bend to make an exhaust system out of. The ripples allowed you to bend it without kinking.

 

Closest I’ve found

 

These are the only reproduction pieces I know of, and they're continuous ripple sections: https://bareknuckleperformance.com/products/traditional-ripple-exhaust-pipe

 

and those don't exist....I tried to get in touch with those people a few years ago and it was a no go.

 

Think I was thinking all wrong using some type of roller.
Maybe a die to press the pipe in

 

A hydraulic crimper of sorts.

 

I die to put in a press.
Like a negative of the ripple. Then press it.
Slow stamping

 

There was an old thread on here when a user made the dies and was making the ripple tubing for everyone. Many many moons ago.

 

What about flattening the cutting wheels on a big pipe cutter?

 

It just doesn't look the same.

 

There’s a rumor going around about a HAMBer working on producing ripple pipe again. Hope it comes true!

 

No rumor.
