Default charge pipes = finished!! *pics* *PICS BACK UP*

well, as many of you may know, i tried my hand at welding last week and thought i was getting the hang of it pretty good, so i decided to go ahead and make my charge pipes. man, towards the end, i learned how to get a good bead and i could keep it going until i had to stop because the pipes were laying flat on the ground anyways, a grinder and some high temp engine paint is all you need to look like a pro












and it's not hmt if you do charge pipes/down pipe with out taking..........................................

Nice, flat black, looks great now, I'm going to have to do mine also, ---- it, I will. Even if they look like ---- in the end, flat paint will cover it all, and they will work better than my homodepot couplings.
Good Job

your welds are looking nice, at least they don't have gaps in them like my exhaust welds.
