Thread: What did you weld today?

the one in the first pic looks alot like mine lol, good shit man

4x1.5" pipe=1x3" pipe, no flow restriction.

Amen to this, I've been trying to fabricate with pictures and measurements, it's not easy by any means. Definitely much easier to have the car in front of you.

I've tried with 3d models on computer, to design and make it happen, but when human error is factored in, not having a machine do the cuts for me, it got frustrating for me. I would rather burn the 2 hrs of seat time behind a computer and cut and grind to get the fit right.... any day. Where da hell is Doug with some work he should be posting up?

im here im here. i ck this thread everyday to see what you guys have been doing. i got some fab work coming up and will be posting pics. just been busy with other jobs.

im deff a one off guy myself. i dont care for production parts so much. PITA!

heres something i welded this week for my car.

-16 AN bung gonna use for half radiator.
was having trouble welding at first due to impurities esp with a used pipe that has had antifreeze run thru it. but i fig out a process to weld these cleanly.
in the future i think i will try purchasing these housings new from the factory and see how they weld vs used pieces.










used my syncro 250.
about 100 amps
cleaning at 5 / had to keep moving to see what would work best.
20cfh argon
roughly a #10 clear cup
1/16" 4043

Good stuff, m o a r

I normally set my cleaning to 6 but i'm on a syncro 200.
Good stuff you got going on.

Still working on finishing this one up but it's almost done...



Going to make a nice support out of some sheet stainless between the dump and downpipe. Next up is a twinscroll set up on a 1.8t VW...not looking forward to it at all!

how would you get that down pipe into the car? is it gonna be 2 piece with a flange somewhere in it?
also how does the end of the downpipe clear the subframe and sway bar.
typically an S shaped pipe is needed to get the pipe thru the tunnel.
