Default My first downpipe!

Welds still need some practice but I think it came out really nice.

This 2.5" bend is much better steel than that aluminized crap I spoke of before so now the welds are starting to look like tig welds finally. I also made that flange our of mild steel plate.





I should have some pics of it installed up sometime tomorrow.

Yeah I tried my best to make everything flush out of 2.5" steel. the only thing I might throw out of the equation is the high flow cat. but we'll see how it performs.

Good job man! Hey I'll be over tomorrow with your manual. I'm going to be coming into london to get a lower rad hose because mine is just rigged up for now with a home depot coupler and adaptor. I got the vtec head on my car today eh! ---- that thing pulls hard when it kicks in. I used the factory head gasket so I'm running 12.2:1 compression.

P.S. Sorry for the thread jack.
