That's a very tidy exhaust job. 

I like it! 

Yeah, I know I won't weld that good if I attempt to do such work haha.

When I told people my people my best mate was building the exhaust, most of them rolled their eyes. After I showed them the progress photos ive had a few of those people ask me to get a quote to build their exhausts

Superbly neat welds! 

I only wish I could weld that neatly, though that's the benefit of TIG, wayyyyyyy more control. 

I'm a MIG boy, Ha ha, and my own is nastily setup as flux core which is worse! ?

Yeah I can only use mig, but haven’t had much of chance to play with a tig maybe after a bit of practice I could actually do alright

That looks like great work. A shame that most of it is hidden away. 4 inch or 3.5?

Yeah it is but the dump will be getting ceramic coated in clear so you will still be able to see it there. It’s a 4in

That's all it is mate, practice, practice, practice. I'm only as "good" as I am as I spent 40 hours a week on a MIG for 3 months straight. And by 40 hours, that's actual time on the MIG, not just at work. 

 

And I'm not a good welder, I'm okay, not great. I have some inconsistencies. :(

TIG, just lots of hours of practice and critique. 

I'd love to have a tig to actually do some alu work, but no money to buy a decent tig setup.

Fuuark, you're young inside. I've plumbed mine back lol.. but after the cat.

Should be good seeing your face once you open up your single #twinsaregay 

I don’t have a cat to plumb them in after

It’s hard to say, it’s been a long time since I heard a hks exhaust. Its a lot quieter then my old 3.5in exhaust and easily quieter then most jasma exhausts

    • don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/
    • The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.
    • I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
    • Reminds me I really need to install that HKS oil cooler I bought years ago.
    • It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.
