Should have made all the bends out of pie cuts. Would have made 34.72hp more.

JK looks good

ha, ya i pondered that.... but i don't have the required skillz

Welded up my downpipe today, figured i would show you guys how i weld all my exhaust stuff.... This is with MIG (wirefeed) I trigger it and can keep a nice hot puddle without getting too hot on the thin aluminized tubing and yet have just the right amount of penetration on the inside.... gives it an almost TIG appearance

I didn't TIG my V-band flanges on the DP because they are mild steel and not SS like on the up-pipes

no brushing or grinding there, that is just how it looks when i get done, minus wiping it off with a rag.... start and stop right in the middle of the picture too

Damn, that looks really good for MIG.

[DrifterExtreme]

Looks good zac, for mig that is....:icon_geek:

[zbrown]

I don't have the required skillz for TIG.... and it takes too long, lol

Is this thing done yet?

[DelSlow]

The V band's coolness points make up for the MIG. So with them balancing out its all only ok. lol

[zbrown]

ya the turbo stuff is more than 90% done... but when that is done the front of the car comes off the jackstands and the ass goes on the jackstands

Fucking badass..... This is the first time i bought something off a forum and got a hell of a lot MORE than i thought i would...... I bought this rear end setup from a guy brand new because he decided to sell all of his parts before ever building the car....

I got a steal on it the way it was, and i didn't even think i was getting stuff that I did like.... driveshaft, HD adjustable lower links, or the HD adjustable watts link....

It ended up being half price of what i would of had to pay for it equipped as it is from the mfg.

anyway everything but the complete rotor to rotor rear end is here which is in route

sorry i am excited, but people usually try to rip me off over the net

[KA-T_240]

How much work is required to install that rear end?
