Francis, turn down the heat a bit on your welder, lay the rod in gap and do a swirl motion over it and you'll get better results. Works good when your welding thin to thick.

thanks Nick i will try thay next this is the first time i have welded thick to thin.

gunmaster, well if you have no idea what this it, you probably need to learn more about exhaust systems.

Shell, the cast mani idea never even made it on the car. thanks y'all

its a collector for a custom exhaust manifold, or commonly reffered to as a header. 4 different pipes come off the flange into a collector, which then goes into a pipe and come out the back of your car.

that setup well be bad ass

[treimche]

That stuff is looking really nice now man! It's good to see that you are "un-ghetto-rigging" your car That burn looks like it really hurts.

[Ngige]

Thanks all for the kind words, got some good presents from the ups lady, with more airflow comes the need for more fuel. As for the burn hurts like crap especialy when i get some fuel on it.

[integra_gsr98]

Hey nice parts! I have some of those!

[Ngige]

been making pogress hope you like, 4" down pipe was as big as i could go without cutting any part of the car, i dont think flow will be a problem with that size DP. i also sumped my gas tank and made a bracket to hold the heavy ass Aeromotive pump. also made abrace for the 60+ lbs turbo.

[KA-T_240]

looks sick. that car should put down some awsome numbers

[SmitEvo]

now that is how you build a domestic.....:p

That exhorst has to do a lot of bending and hitting walls. I'm sure it'll make pretty crazy power, and the whitey bends are second only to japanese stuff I've seen, but you know. I had to critisize.

seems to be fairly unique placement for that whirly whoopty though.
