fuck exhaust shops
 
these dumb mother fuckers charged me 60 dollars make a downpipe and bend a chargepipe. then all i need them to do is chop the old flange off the downpipe and weld a new one on... AND THEY CHARGE ME 100 DOLLARS.

what the ----. i could've bought my own goddamn welder with all the money i've spend having people weld ----. what a waste of money

Yeah, ---- them! I would have tried to do it myself if I had known they were going to charge me that much too. It might take me longer and it might look like ass when it's done, but anything would be better than paying them that much.

yes, ---- them in the goat ass.

it's a good thing I know people who can do exhaust systems for me for cheap. How big should I go for a turbo exhaust on my civic? 3 or 2.5--I was thinking 3, but a friend of mine suggested 2.5 because 3 is ------- huge, and in maximum boost there is a graph suggesting that a motor with my bhp number should have a 2 inch exhaust. I want to be able to say I have 3 inch exhaust though.

I would go with 3" just because there would always be that voice in the back of my head saying "That tiny exhaust is robbing you horsepower and slowing the spool time down. You should have gone with the 3" jackass!"

one 3 inch pipe flows more than two 2.5s...

3 inch is too big!

how is 3 too big? max boost says that the best exhaust for turbo is no exhaust, then it says I need a 2 inch pipe, what a ------- commie book.

exhaust work is a bitchass .. i tried to make a down pipe with my friend's $250 lincoln welder and it just wont get the penetration you need into the flange for it to hold up.

so i called up my buddy who is a certified welder and he just said that i needed a better welder.. i will prob end up taking mine to the exhaust shop nazi's when i get tired of my open turndown that i ghetto welded on

most exhaust shops don't have a powerful enough welder to weld steel to cast... only a machine shop can do that ----.... thats what i had to do... cost me 35 dollars :/
