The welds look like shit. Maybe i can teach you a little something something…lol jk. Mine always come out like that too. Did you check if you have any leaks? why didnt you just buy U bends from KS, and weld a couple straight to it? either way.Nice job. I know those downpipes can be a bitch sometimes…so ahhh, fuck yeah… :tspry: :tspry: ---

one nice way to get pentration on the welds , instead of trying to tackweld the pipes together with a slight space, is to tackweld them together toughing each other, then use a hacksaw to cut a gep between them again ---

Not bad, what you need is: Perfect Circle / Twenty Gauge powdered metal wire. This works great on exhaust pipes.
