I want to know what they used to model/layout all the pie cuts. That is hours and hours of welding right there, jeez. Are the CLR too tight they couldn't use mandrel bends?

I keep thinking to that exhaust you showed me at your shop Luke, and how just something like that would cost $10k. Can't imagine how much the full manifold/muffler/etc cost.

I'm pretty sure he does. If you read the thread on H-T everyone rags on him for maki9ng it out of Ti. So I assume they both knew.

It's a gorgeous piece regardless...

That system looks amazing. I honestly go on honda-tech just to look through their fab section. They have so many top-notch fabricators there. I wish we had a fab section filled with that much badassery.

^^ I also frequently fallow the honda-tech fab section and yes they do have great stuff but honestly this tread has a lot of great fabrication too. Have you follow this tread since the beginning? Well i have!! Have you seen the orange Camaro (i think it was a Camaro) exhaust that is posted almost at the beginning of the tread? I have not seen anything like that anywhere else. But as you said there are pretty good stuff too.

I love that exhaust Luke and have to think it even took more time than that. That whole car is super badass. I had to make a E30 M3 S14 3" exhaust a few months ago and it reminded me of yours but obviously on a much smaller level Also, awesome job on the Camaro. I have no idea how you did it in the timeframe given.

I ditched it since getting it back posed a potential threat to my career (Having really high Security Clearance and circumventing Federal Law seems to be a bad mix) Engine went to a friend and he already picked up a Dog Mission to go with it and the car he is putting it in is almost ready. Should see that thing installed in a completed car soon.

Chasis went to a guy that is going to set it up a tad differently.

Suspension, Brakes and all that jazz went to another friend that needed it for his S15.

All in all I came out at about 75 percent of what I put into it, but that is to be expected with the amount that was spent on consumables and is better than the norm and I still have a few parts left.

When I am actually in the U.S. I am considering something along the lines of a 350Z for a project, but I have not made up my mind and I am still a ways away from coming back (going to Afghanistan after I am done here in Iraq in June)

Thats what a friend said. He was saying I should submit it to a commercial that shows things resembling smiley faces.

Here is some older work, was and am still developing my technique. Self-taught. I'm a slow learner. .063 T6. Basic cutting tools. Wish I had a press shear. There was no planning involved. Just cut and welded on as I built it. Lets call it the red headed step child in the closet. I swear the next one will be more attractive!

Welded my fittings on today, couldn't do the one side due to not having the right fitting and the stock hole location would work with the fitting I had. So I just blocked the one hole off and relocated it. Not bad for my first time tig welding aluminum.

Better than my first time on my r200 diff cover. I learned quickly about preheating the material after that.
FYI: MAP TORCH running in circular pattern around the weld sight will do. I bought a 200* temp stick to give the okay when ready to weld.
