I'm impressed, that's nice work, getting no rattles and pissing off the neighbors, Priceless.

 

that means you need to fix the sidewalk... ahhhhhhhh tear it up for the safty of the rx7

 

on a side note ive been thinking of going with a oval or rectangle(flat exhaust) like what they use on very low proformance cars...

scoot what muffler is that b4 the rearend? im going to be needing a good 1 if i want to drive my car close to town(not in it just close) ive got 3in and a aero turbine
at the end lol its loud

 

When I poured my driveway a few years ago, I changed the grade and dropped the final height at the sidewalk. I still need to tear out the sidewalk and apron and adjust both of those for height, as long as the city doesn't catch me. I need to drop the sidewalk 1-1/2" and it's supposed to be a level grade.

As far as a pre-silencer/mid-muffler, mine is a Magnaflow. If you want to quiet your's down, go with the Borla.

 

Yo! Trochoid, waht rear sway bar is that? Mine runs under the axle?

 

Decided on starting the downpipe tonight..

 

very nice man...what did you do for the v-band clamp flange? you going ot put a bung in it for a wideband?

 

Suspension Techniques, front and back. The rear one is adjustable.

 

Looks good, how close to the steering sector is it? Did the pics help? Your welding is much better looking than mine.

 

the welds look good on the part where you hooked the 2 pices together i did 3 welds..the on you did. and i also put 2 beeds side by side over the top of that 1st weld to keep if fomr leaking at all just an idea it gives it a nice look too with the 2 rows of dimes going around it

 

Going to install 2ea 02 bungs and a EGT bung. one 02 for haltech and one for wideband for tuning only

 

Pics gave me a idea what i needed to do.. took like 90 minutes to get the downpipe done.. I hate angles.. lol

 

Going to clean up the welds tommorow.. and will post pics of center section when i get done with it

 

Its really not that hard to make an exhaust. All you really need is an angle grinder with cutting wheels, a MIG welder and some time. Don't rush it otherwise it won't turn out the way you want. Also, only tack each piece together untill you have the whole system the way you want it.

As far as types of welders, a TIG welder is the most ideal to use on a job like this, but a regular MIG is great as well. I've really never used a stick welder so i can't say how well that would work on something like this but I've heard its way to easy to burn through metal this thin with a stick welder. The easiest to use is the MIG welder with separate gas, not the flux core wire. Flux core tends to be a little messy and is expensive.

 

Flux core is a pita, hate it, don't have the spare funds for a bottle atm. You are correct, stick burns though easily, so does the flux core. I would love to have a tig, never used one though.

 

is this a down pipe thread or a welder thread.....??? lol wooti love welding it makes me happy and its the only way i can get a tan at night time

 

noice!

 

noice! THanx!
