It looks like hell, but as long as it works that's all that matters (like my exhaust)

if your dad is rich, why do you have a 1980's welder?

Re: My homemade 10min dump tube
 

hahaha i suck at welding to. i just did half of my downpipe and had to bridge weld all kinds cuz i tacked it about 1 cm off on one side. it sucked but it should hold up fine.

I'm not a professional welder by any means (but I can run a mean flux-core and mig bead ;) ) but it kinda looks like regular flux-core madness. I've never seen splatter like that from a gas/mig setup.

you dont have to be a good welder, just a good grinder.

Re: My homemade 10min dump tube
 

Throw on a coat or two of some 1200 degree Rustoleum flat black paint (for grills and ----) and it'll look niiiiice

Re: My homemade 10min dump tube
 

grinding 2" away from where the weld was on the pipe... he's neither.

Re: My homemade 10min dump tube
 

Its got the gas hook up on the back of the welder but I dont have a tank. I'll try turning down the wire feed a bit, thanks for the tip. I know little to nothing about welding. I've been having problems with the wire feed, the liner needs to be replaced in the gun. You have to keep the line completly strait or it wont feed. It looks like someone ran over the line. These dump tubes I make normally dont last very long, I made another on out of conduit and raced a b20 boosted civic, stomped it 3 times and when I got home the welds on the stainless flange to conduit were broke and conduit was pretty close to falling off. The d15 headers tubes seem to be holdin up a lil better. I'm guessing its the mild steel.

I also welded some brackets to my radiator support for my intercooler and for some reason the welds dont seem to be sticking to the rad support very well. I've had to re grind and weld em up 3 times.

Thanks for your time and tips

Thanks for the tips, I like your boosted 22re, we used to part the 84-94 pickups out. Good trucks run for ever.
