look how stupid i was, WG fell off on the way to a show!!!!!!!
ill start and say that it fell off becuase i didnt use a thick weld el, just regular dump tubing, the nickel welds holding the steel/cast are perfect, ill probably take it apart today so i can re weld a dumb thick pipe, ill find some schedule 40 at my neighbors machine shop and that bitch aint never falling off, luckily it was 1/2 mile before the englishtown exit, so a muffler shop was able to MIG it temporarily so i could make it from CT to MD and back, this was on friday, but just letting you guys know, use a thick piece in case you didnt

Re: (91tegrals)
it didnt drag, we stopped for gas, were cruising, i let go oif gas and it sounded louder, forst thought was the plate of my dump tube fell off (exhauts dump tube not WG dump), then i hit the gas again, stopped and it was hanging by the manifold/vacuum line, so it didnt drag

Rob</TD></TR></TABLE>yep, they are cast and didint come for external at the time, so i drilled it and had my neighbor (machinist/TIG'er) weld it up with nickel, cause you gotta use nickel when welding steel to cast, thethin pipe itself cracked, that was the main fault
