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

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
