Did you use the lincoln model with shealding gas? I would be surprised if this was sone with a flux core.. asking because I'm currently in the market for my very first welder for my turb project..

I wish I could get U-bends over here though..
over here one 3" 90 degree bend is $35 and up.
And they aren't real medrel bend though..they kinda shrink a bit in the bends.
You guys are lucky

Ya, there a little cheaper here, but still out of my college assed price range.

It was with shielding gas, but if you know how, flux core can be clean, especially if hit with a wire brush afterwards.

3" 90 bends in Mild Steel are like 3-4$ each here.
Heck if you wanted some and know anybody traveling from my neck of the woods Id send them to ya for free.

Im still trying to complete my exhaust but am stuck for some answers on the taper issue.

Nice work. A free flowing exhaust is key with turbo spool and making power.

Hell I run a 3" pipe from my turbo back with NOTHING in the way (muffler, or cat)

I'd definetly reccomend giving it a shot. My car is accually quiter at cruise than it was before with a muffler and the 3". Mild acceleration isn't bad at all, but WOT is damn loud

I dont know what Schedule H plumbing is but the ones I posted pics off are the costliest. Cause its 4mm thick walls. As you go down on the wall thickness it gets cheaper. You also have stainless steel bends, reducers, seamless Ts and other stuff. 90% of the stuff the guy makes is exported to the Dairy industry in the US and NZ.
Too bad I cant weld like that Kfab guy or Id be making manifolds

To get back on Topic. A straight thru pipe would attract the cops here.
A simple DIY muffler makes a huge diffirence. A foot or two of Perforated 4" pipe surounded with steel wool and encased in a can does a gr8 job.
