They gave me the inspiration to try making some 45s out of pie cuts one time. I made a few, but they’re ugly as all hell. Best I can do with a 125 MIG and no skill. But, the practice is fun. Keep the pics coming! I liked the page on FB, I like seeing the updates. Would love to see video of the E55 intake sound. ---

Regardless if you have the skill to do it or not. Thanks, the Facebook page is a work in progress. As is everything in my life… I’m going to try and update as much as possible. I really like sharing my work on the web since most of it is under cars ha. I have an awful iPhone video of the e55 doing a burnout but its not nyspeed worthy. I gotta busy out the go pro one of these days. It truly does sound amazing. Weeeeeeeee!! Please excuse my grammar or lack there of, I am currently posting from a dark, 27 degree porta potty ---

now that jesus’s birthday is over i can get back to work. jay’s racing style muffler i started tonight. it will be going on a board members s2000 and should be the cat’s ass when its done. im really pleased how its turned out so far. for this style of muffler i wanted to replicate the “jays” style but i also needed it to perform too. considering it is going on an s2000… the last thing i want is to deliver any car with it sounding like a supercross race. 6inch 316 OD pipe, enclosing a 44% perf ss tube wrapped in 316 mesh “donuts” should help with the noise. excuse the iphone pics, my dslr has grown legs:bigtdown: ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8080/8312405919_b0f39aba75_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8080/8312405919_b0f39aba75_c.jpg) ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8224/8312462763_fef13b6b83_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8224/8312462763_fef13b6b83_c.jpg) final stretch on connecting the tip to the can. ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8358/8313455528_36df650100_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8358/8313455528_36df650100_c.jpg) ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8495/8312406073_5cbfe6be08_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8495/8312406073_5cbfe6be08_c.jpg) ugh, welding these end caps on sucks. trying to penetrate,not burn through,stay uniform,not slip off and keep decent color in the weld is very hard to do all at once. ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8221/8312406231_c1081e2cb0_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8221/8312406231_c1081e2cb0_c.jpg) ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8364/8313456084_7055735824_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8364/8313456084_7055735824_c.jpg) ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8493/8312405679_a9442c216a_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8493/8312405679_a9442c216a_c.jpg) and thats all she wrote for tonight. ill post the finished photos of both mufflers tomorrow. ![http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8076/8312406531_fa10dbed46_c.jpg](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8076/8312406531_fa10dbed46_c.jpg) ---

> [@BREETIME](#): > > I have purge equipment for all sizes of pipe so i really have no reason not to use argon. Besides solar flux leaves disgusting penetration marks, and is usually not excepted in dairy line. Since this is exhaust, it really doesn’t even matter either way ha. Solar flux is like 6 bucks a tub, and a tub will probably last you forever unless you weld exhausts 16 hours a day. Then it might only last you a few years. It doesn’t leave any weird marks on the penetration/weld. It only leaves a black flux like material that chips off similar to xx10 flux. Comes off easy with a wire wheel/die grinder wire extension or there’s some liquid to take it of for sanitary. If you don’t want to save some coin and time on weld prep/refilling/switching tanks, that’s for you to decide not us. Not all of us can afford to dump shielding gas in to space. We’ve never been told we can’t use solar flux for Sanitary Stainless or Duplex. Niagara testing, Applus (QIS), or any other AI/customer has ever given us grief over using it. ---
