what do you guys think? some of my welds turned out pretty good, actually, i noticed every weld i did got better. it's a lot easier to weld pipe to pipe than it is to weld pipe to flange i found out. this is mostly just a couple hours on the welder and reading all of the tips you guys give in here to other beginners, i can honestly say a lot of things i read in this forum helped a lot! i still need to finish the axle back section and finish a couple of the welds, but all in all, i'm very happy. this was with a flux core miller 135.


midsection with v band connection for dp








the down pipe





oh ****, resizing right now

 

lincoln and miller merged companies? lol.

i would get gas, and stop the use of the flux core. its honestly just easier to use. looks better, and is more consistent.

good first project though

lol, my bad, lincoln. i borrowed it from a buddy, but yeah, when i buy one, it will have gas for sure. you gotta take what you can get

 

Nice work for your first time

 

DIY baby!!

 

that WG merge is mighty close to your turbine outlet. May cause boost creep, then again, some people do it like that and have no problems

 

someone said your car is slow as ****.

 

Is that stainless or mild???

yeah, like someone else already said, it's open dump, the dump tube curves around the back of the dp

 

looks good for first time, especially for using a flux core welder

 

i tried welding piping for practice but i was getting too much burnthrough. So i stopped the hopes of making my own exhaust for my integra.

I was using a migwelder... is that not right for exhaust piping? If its ok to use maybe i just need to practice more. I had it set correctly i thought.
