So I made an Exhaust system
5 Attachment(s)
Well the hatch was going to need it sooner or later so I went to the autoparts store and got some good ole' crush bent 90*s and 45* a thrush glass pack, and Thrush turbo muffler and a piece of 36" 2.5 pipe and a 15" length of 2.5 Totaled probably about $125. The flanges were left over E-gay exhaust flanges which I bored out a little to fit 2.5"
Well here it is Enjoy: Attachment 24972 Attachment 24973 Check out my sexy mig welds: Attachment 24974 For hangers off the muffler I used 3/8" Nails I found in my basement. I bent them in the vice and ground the heads down a little to fit into the hangers but not fall out. Attachment 24975 And to top it all off, I had to throw in a whitey bend to get the muffler to fit nice: Attachment 24976 |

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
paint your welds, they rust quick if they are left bare.
i used a ceramic cast iron gray color and it makes my magnaflow oval practically invisible and hasnt shown much of any rust at all through a few years of NE winters. |

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
nice job man! that pipe to flange weld lookgs great. overall it gets a thumbs up. i suggest clean, primer and paint. or find a really heavy duty single stage paint.
When i made my 3" exhaust, i cleaned it and did 3-4 light coats of BBQ black. But the paint didn't hold up to a NY winter sadly. -luke |

cool homemade ---- ftw

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
I'm not worried about rust. I threw some high temp paint on the welds, but didn't do the whole thing. I'm not driving this in the winter.

Right now the setup is N/A going turbo. And yes it does have a Megan header on it. The connection from the circular shaped flange on the header to the flat flange on the mid pipe isn't the best but I guess it seals ok. Doesn't matter anyway because I'll be making a downpipe that will end with a flat flange. |

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
Hobart 180 MIG, .035 wire w/ gas. It's a nice mig welder. Me and my dad split the package deal at tractor supply. came to about $800 including tank purchase I think. But it had EVERYTHING, a cart, sweet gloves, hammer thing, brush, auto-dimming helmet with additional lenses, Welder, wire, and regulator setup for gas
I lucked out on that one. Some of the others were more HMT-esque. I'm getting better with welding though. |

+3,000 class points for a civic with a resonator and a muffler.

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
Yeah My dad was the one who pushed on a 220v welder. I'm glad he did. It's got a lot of extra power for bigger/ thicker stuff.

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
I'll get one ass soon as it's turbo. Just waiting on some injectors and I'm set

Re: So I made an Exhaust system
Yeah that's the setup I'll rock from now on, it kicks ass.
