As the title says, I built an exhaust. I used a stock SRT-4 system. I only used 1 tip, but it looks great! I will get pictures of it and hopefully a sound clip. It sounds pretty much just like an SRT-4, which is kinda neat. Just happy I got rid of the stock system!

I think its 2.25" or 2.5". Its a stock SRT-4 system. I wanted 3", but I have no money. I will try to get a sound clip on sunday, I don't have any way to do it until then. It sounds almost exactly like an SRT-4.

Looks homegrown beginer style fluxcore to me. When on a $10 budget (cost of welds) i think it looks good.

Made with a 140amp MIG welder, and since I've never welded before...at least it's held together!

A guy I work with had the welder but was too busy to do it for me, so I just did it myself. I also used a cutoff wheel and angle grinder, no ban saw or chop saw. I'll admit they look crappy, but it was the best I could do. It was really fun though, and I'm proud of it!

Yep! I plan to make the downpipe out of the rest of it soon. I need to figure out a way to get it done fast because the hoists at work are always full.

Thanks for the exhaust man, I owe you huge! How is your exhaust coming along?

I was wondering the same thing. Man, it's like showing pictures of your kid. No matter how ugly everybody else thinks it is, it's going to be the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. As long as it works, who cares!! I definitely want to try my hand a welding someday.

Looks like you forgot the part that makes it not quite so audible... If it makes you happy, then you did a good job.

SRT4's don't come with mufflers.

hey our ***** are all wrinkly down there. but nobody sees em until it's too late anyway.

SRT-4s have a resonator and that's it.

My only suggestion is painting the welds with some sort of antirust coating.

My car is coming along, almost done. Should be runnable this weekend, or really close to it.

at least it held unlike that dude and his charge pipe
