Default 3" exhaust madrel bent

Let me know what you all think. Its my first ever exhaust that I made from begining to the end by myself. I think it turned out ok.

no offence or anything, but those welds look rough. Did you practice on any scrap pieces before starting this? I know with me, if I ever do anything for the first time, a practice helps out huge.

As long as you don't have any leaks, it should last you

Ditto on the leaks. Start it up, put it up on the lift, and feel along the pipe for leaks. Leaks = bad.

nope no leaks. the welds look a bit rough but not too bad, considering I don't do much welding/fabrication. 98ctr

you should put a 3 inch flex coupler on that... you might break something with all the engine flex etc. anyone else agree?

I would if my eng. was to flex at all. but it dont'. The mounts are so tight that when I rev the car, the whole front end lifts and the eng. does NOT move back and forth at all. 98ctr
