Thanks for looking

Re: Made an exhaust
 

you should just tack stuff in midair and then take it down and complete the weld, otherwise looks nice

Yeah it's just that my work space for welding is really narrow. Makes life difficult.

Thanks for the comment.

Re: Made an exhaust
 

i'd tuck the muffler up a little higher to help hide the hangers, but overall not bad

i have a hard time welding on car also...most of the time, i use a marker to make referance marks on the pipe, then i weld it in front of me, piece by piece, takes a while, but in the end, it turns out pretty good

other times if a marker is not handy, or i have a friend helping, i tack the pipes in place on car

are those two bends just mandrel 90 degree bends? i like how that looks and its right in line with how i want mine to look. or are any of these bends custom?

That's the way my exhaust was when I made it. I threw together a 3" on my EG coupe in a couple hours with 5' 3" pipe, 2 90's, and 2 45's to get over and around the back LCA. It was sexy how easily the fit was. The exhaust dude I bought the 3" pipe from was all like "Man 3" is a tough fit on those small cars." Then he was like "Hey Bob (or whatever his coworker's name was), we got us another Jimmy!" Then they laughed at me saying I would be in there in a couple days trying to get them to put it together for me. Sike!

hangs a little low thought other than that its sweet ;D better off making your own than buy a high priced one :6

Re: Made an exhaust
 

I've raised the muffler a bit now so it hangs a lot closer to the bumper. I'll get some pics of it soon. Thanks for the comments!

Re: Made an exhaust
 

looks good man!

Re: Made an exhaust
 

looks pretty good, where did you get all your pipe from?

Re: Made an exhaust
 

I'm in the UK so I get it from a local company. It's a lot more expensive for raw materials around here.

Re: Made an exhaust
 

hey i was wondering if i could have smaller pics so i can see the welds better.

Re: Made an exhaust
 

Looks good for a first exhaust.........I really need to learn how to weld......
