Production of a GP exhaust
Seems like alot of work for zero performance or sound difference to just ripping the stock can off.

In all seriousness, I admire the guy's TIG welding skills.

The bastard is using a lathe to turn it smoothly for him.

Re: Production of a GP exhaust
great clip - using that lathe to do the spinning....... 
   from an old-school stick welder since 18, I love the quality of those welds.

Just because one piece of pepperoni wasn't securely placed on the grand duke pizza, it shouldn't eventuate to catastrophic handling & extended delivery times.Gosling1 wrote:I KNOW WHAT THAT IS !!

Re: Production of a GP exhaust
Having recently learned to weld (mig) and at best am now extremely average on a good day.  I can say i would be a liar if i didn't appreciate that guys skill at welding. btw as to the lathe, if you've got it, use it.

Re: Production of a GP exhaust
I hope hes using spf 5000000 and reapplying it generously during the day. Im surprised he wasnt using a stubbie as a welding lens.
