Whaddya think of my welding yo??!?!?!

I welded some pipes and a cat to monza headers as well as a moza muffler with the area that goes over the rear axle. I think youll be able to tell which pipes are mine LOL. It was all done with a stick welder, now I use MIG so ill will probabbly redo it.

Just so you know cats go bad every 2 or so years on a rotary. Have fun replacing that!

well i figured id be redoing the exhaust in a few years when my car will be historic. As for emmissions, I dont really like that whole having to get your car emmissions tested thing so i havent done it yet. Its off insurance right now, while im in college, so its not a problem. I am trying to take advantage of this time off to swap a 13b in there.

Without air injection and the ACV,that cat wont last long at all.
The cat needs secondary oxygen to do its job,especially on a rotary.You might as well just take the sawzall to it right now.Its only viable function the way you have it, is as a mild muffler,and when it self destucts its gonna clog the hell out of your exhaust system....unless you have a straight through muffler.Then you might get lucky and the pieces will just shoot out the tailpipe.
