Re: Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.

why are you using the whitey bends instead of mandrel bends? dont get me wrong whitey bends have their purpose but mandrel bends seem better to me

Personal preference. I enjoy cutting and welding the pieces. I like how they look ever since I've seen those crazy custom two stroke expansion chambers and titanium motorcycle exhaust systems. The work is its own reward.

Re: Exhaust I made for a friends turbo civic.

Well I am a certified TIG welder, and at home I use a Miller Maxstar 140.

I really would like a nice new machine, but this modest machine can do pretty good work in the right hands.

If you guys think you need to pay for results, that may be true in some parts, but practice makes perfect!
