...and so on and so on. You can weld like that, but you can't figure this stuff out? I took the last ] out on each of those so you can see the format without that actual pictures. Are you seriously having issues with this? You must be posting pictures strangely.

Looks great. I think a hole saw may be easier for the wg reentry if you ever have to do that again. It sucks that you had to go in at a 90 degree.
What's the tungsten stick out, and are you using a gas lens?

Looks very nice, but I'm wondering why you didn't take that wastegate runner down a little further. I forget the guideline, but I believe you want the reentry at least 18-21" from flange...BEGi goes 30".

The problem is that he's uploading the pics as attachments, not hosting them from somewhere else. Which I wish he was so they weren't so dang big. Even on my 22" monitor they're huge. So I don't think he can put notes between each pic.
sbkcocker499, if you host your pics from somewhere else the forum would automatically resize them to fit the screen and then IF we needed to see the pic any bigger we could just click on it.

As per all of your requests i got a Photobucket account and uploaded the photos there.
Fixed the upper section from before now its a snug fit.

Measuring length i need to cut my 3"

Got it tacked on

Got the cat on

Got the cat tacked on a little crooked but it will do. Its only a cat!

Close up of the connection from the downpipe

After i get this all welded up then i dont have to wait anymore. Since the aluminized pipe doesn't need a backing gas i can just weld and roll.

Sweet. Both on the exhaust bit and the photobucket account bit. Now I don't have to click on your thread and go browse somewhere else for 5 minutes while the photos load. Stupid DSL.

I'm learning a lot from this thread. As soon as I get some gas and the other accessories for my welder and learn how to use it i'm going to be building my exhaust minus the downpipe. Its awesome seeing how yours is progressing and learning from it.
