Can you smell what JDM's cook'n!?
I did some 3" exhaust fab work this week end. I baked the pipes to get that gold look on stainless and purple on mild steel and that's what exactly I got. And this was all done on good ol fluxcore.

Pretty cool. Nice MR2, however I liked the 2nd gen styling better. Still a badass car though.

nice flux welds, how did you keep the spatter down??? i can lay a descent bead w/ flux, but always get a ton of spatter, whats the trick, or did you brush it off before baking???

Foil the surrounding metal and I also brushed the welds before baking

awesome, i have heard of using aluminum foil wrapped tight and thick, but dont usually have it around when im welding. i have used grease, just a thin layer about a half inch away from the welds to keep them from sticking, but cleaning it up sucks. well, looks good.

lincoln's anti-splatter spray. gives off mad smoke but works pretty good and gives it that cool color. I heard WD40 does the same thing. Nice setup though. I would of left it since being so short and close to the engine it would of turned it that color later on and you can't even see any of it anyways in that MRS.

looks awesome. I like the undercar mounting of the intercooler rather than on top close to the vents. During the pinks install at chris', he had a customers mrs there that had a top mount near those grilles. It didnt look like the intercooler would get any airflow unless there was a scoop behind it. Plus, you know its gonna get heat soaked when sitting still. Nice work! More details/pics on the setup please
