My updated downpipe.
 

I guess I'm not as hard-core as I used to be. Couldnt take the open-downpipe madness anymore.

It looks kinda nasty because I ran out of gas an had to use the flux-core.

It's 100% quieter now.

Looks awesome to me. Any problems with not having a flex section?

Thanks. I've got a flex right after the downpipe, then a 2.5" resonator and a 2.5" oval muffler then a nice rolled angled tip. There's some back-pressure but its's quiet as all get-out.

eh, I dont use a flex section :bigtu:

doesnt look bad to me, the bends look pretty smooth if youd ask me

I don't currently have a flex either.

did you ever add that missing hanger by your cat?

shoulda said it earlier and i'd have stopped by to take a peak, i've been running around takin exams today :nono:

stop by any time dood. I live off of Garners Ferry.

that looks almost exactly like the downpipe i made today, but with better welds. flux core FTL, mine is ugly, but it will work.

as someone who just bought a flux core welder - how do you fab these up - Imean, how do you get it to line up where you want it to go? one section at a time, test fitting each time? cardboard mockups?

Besides the sound, are there performance differences? Any changes in boost control?

great work for being flux! that's mild steel, not aluminized or galvanized, right?

For some reason my boost went from 8psi to 5psi after I joined it up. I put in an MBC and set it to 10. Car hauls ass.

IIRC, it's aluminuzed steel. I wouldnt weld galvanized :nono: It was just a scrap piece sitting in my tub of misc steel tubing. (I never throw anything away)
