Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.
Pics.. weee..
This was a neat project for me, I love tig welding.
The problem was that the stainless material he got with the "kit" was .045 wall, which is very thin. I had a lot of trouble starting a puddle without burning through, and without any foot or thumb control I had to have another buddy turn the machine up and down when I yelled at them. LOL...
He also wanted to retain A/C so there are some nice tight bends. We used the pie cut formulas from this forum. Not too many intricate segmented cuts though.
I wish it was .065 wall tubing or something other than the cheap ---- he got, but whateva. It is a Vecco turbo kit. Miller TIG machine, 115v. Arc start
. Boo, I want a new 3000$ machine.

I will get pics off the car, as we are not done yet. He's still waiting on a D16 intake manifold, and injectors before he can run any boost. Anyone have a D16 intake manifold that the TB is on the pass side of the engine. I know nothing of hondas..
