Downpipe
 

Well, my turbo hangs low as a mofo, so I had to make a radial bend.

We ran out of mild steel filler rod so I made most of it using brass filler :6
It was also my first time working with aluminized steel which is kinda wierd in the first place.
I was going to post up pictures of some of my nicer welds, but couldnt figure out how to make the camera focus.

i love whitey bends, good work

Re: Downpipe
 

nice work, welds look good! ;)

Re: Downpipe
 

Thats the kind of stuff we make around here. Custom hand rails, custom spiral staircases, anything made of steel really. Those rails you see in the back are for a commercial application, but usually we make some artsy JDM KUSTOM railings.

Nice work :6

I posted this DP on a local forum I frequent and the response is so rediculous.
One guy (local celebrity fabricator) is arguing with me about how bad aluminized steel is.
He of course only uses SS. I try to explain to him that SS is competely overkill on an exhaust and is purely a luxury item, but the dude doesnt understand. He also tells me that the strengh of my welds sucks because of the brass filler.

How strong does a downpipe need to be??! This thing is supporting ------- 10 pounds!
---- man - me venting.

Re: Downpipe
 

it may be supporting a bit more than 10 pounds but just make sure you use a flexpipe to allow some leeway with engine movements.
