I saw some examples and they didnt look so bad....

I had my manifold and DP welded and the manifold isnt too bad. some weird double welds here and there which shouldnt be necessary if there was penetration but really what is nasty is the DP

The DP's welds look like hell. He did a 2.5" to 2.75" section but just butted the two pieces of pipe together and welded em together :-X. Put the wrong exhaust flange on. All in all im not really upset about it because i didnt pay alot of money at all for this stuff, its just annoying. the exhaust flange is a PITA though. i gotta get him to 2 day me a 3 bolt flange for free since he fucked up. I'm not going to announce his name, but if you are looking for a welder and you've spoken to a few guys, just pm me and ill tell you his name so you can atleast know someone who got stuff done by them.

B16, you shouldnt be on this site if you think that. Basically everyone on this site pays a small amount of money for their turbo setup and gets results even though they spent a "small" amount of money. seriously that is just about the stupidest thing you could say on this site. go to honda-tech with that bullshit
