Well, just got done doing my complete ground up creation...well at least my first downpipe, I have done many exhaust work, but not a downpipe.....did the recirculated wastegate, with 3" stainless piping....whatcha guys think?



Some of my welds:




Me in action

 

i have those same lights

 

Looks good , for mig

Also in the last pic, all I can say is you should really get in a comfortable spot that you can move around and what not, maybe its comfortable but to me it just does not look like a position I would want to be in when welding .

Looks good though, how big is the piping ? And if its 3 inches like I think it is, where did you get it from.

 

The piping IS 3".....the straights we got from a local exhaust shop and the mandrels we got from atpturbo.com

I plan on making a welding bench, just havent had a chance to......in the mean time, crouching down is killer on the back but I can get into good positions doing it

 

Not bad. I like how you dumped the waste gate tube into the down pipe. It will sound great just hearing the turbo spool.

 

That came out nice. Is it a/c compatible also?

Nope....the car we are installing it on doesnt have a/c, but if it did.....no WAY would it fit haha!

Thanks Mig is fun!

 

looks nice.

watch those gloves though. i did some welding with those same gloves once, and splatter kept hitting them and then melting into the nylon(or whatever it is) and burning me


oregon!

 

wow man they look great. im in the same boat you are. no welding bench so i do it crouching on the floor. deffinitily not comfortable.

does using the light allow you to see more of the puddle area when your welding? the mask i have is really dark and i can barely see the puddle unless im right up close to it.

 

you need a metal table... it'll be much better than kneeling down like that..

All he need's is a pair of sandals and he'll be a floor welding ninja like that other guy!

 

man Im telling you...get a TIG.

 

Nice, if the wastegate dumps to the exhaust will it be a lot quiter on the wastegate side?

 

damn good job

 

looks nice, but doesn't your head get aweful hot sitting right next to that floodlight like that?

 

looks good

 

no flex pipe on the dump tube?
