Got my new Redneckmaster 5 inch exhaust..

[acesneights1]

Ok, I know it's a hack job. I am putting a turbo on so I don;'t want to spend money fixing the duals and they fell off behind the cab. Cab forward they are still good and i had a 5 inch pipe from a Class 8 so I ob longed it and slid it over and welded it up. Total cost about 15$ for the bends. No leaks and it sounds fat with no muffler. It will due until the turbo then I will do it right...I used a rosebud to heat it and conform it to the stacked 2 1/2inch pipes.

LOL did you forget to turn the shielding gas on? Anyhow that is one way to get your pipes around all the bracketing for the e-brakes.

Sort of, I ran out half way through and didn't realize it, I thought it was just that i didn't clean it enough. It don't leak and It's good enough. The underside looks better...

Not anymore. I resigned due to the bias towards me and some others after I spoke out against a certain vendor over there and the influence they have on the site. I am on here and DP. I will not return.

Yeah I know..maybe I should have brazed that too....I honestly did run out of gas and it was raining so I hacked it. It only has to last a few months till I get sme money to rebuild the 4911 IP i have. Everything else for my turbo swap is ready. Just wanna get the new IP freshened up and a 4911 is about 600$ for a reman.

I was just messin with ya...well...they aren't pretty...but they are 100x better than I could do! I'm just amazed at some of the weld jobs I've seen people do...they can make it look like art almost lol...but like you said, as long as it works! If I tried, it probly wouldnt even stick together

Scary welds!

Scary welds? what ever....

The welds are on his exhaust y-pipe, not anything structural that could fail, causing injury or death. All exhust shops (drive in, drive out 1 hour type) employ some of the worst weldors I have ever seen. His welds are no worse that any of them shops that people actually pay for.

Agreed I had my local muffler shop replace my whole exhaust system. Charged me $350.00 the welds were so bad, he left about a 3 inch booger hanging down.
Ended up cleaning off all his welds and rewelding them my-self.


Not trying to give ace any crap I was just saying

 

[acesneights1]

No offense taken at all, Like I said in the first post, I know it's a hack job and I did run out of shielding gas plus I did not clean the pipes enough. It's a temp job and I rushed it. I can weld good when there is a reason to. Check out my plow thread...
I'm old school anyway, I'll be the first to admit I can braze better than I can mig...
The welder is a 140c. It's a continuous not tapped so it dials in nicely when needed.

sorry where I come from and who taught me how to weld they just look bad to me. thanks for your criticism have a nice day

GUYS...chill out and stop talking about the welds...we had some harmless jokes...its over...lets get back on topic...the EXHAUST....****,


So...aces...you run the truck yet? have you noticed any differences? sound?

 

[DirtMagnet]

We don't have time to do it right but we have time to do it again?

 

[BlizzardX23]

whats not right about it just because its not pretty...if it works and serves its purpose?

 

[rnd-motorsports]

If it works! then that is what matters! You may be surprised had a roundy round car I ran for years 1/4 mile track two into one like your set up, sounded and even performed better then the duals!
