Here are some shots of a C6 Zo6 exhaust I started making tonight.
I actually put all the straight sections in the lathe and turn down each end till it is perfectly beveled and even. Makes for some incredible welding.

not my welds, but on my valve cover. the fittings that turned brown had a hard anodizing on them I only had one -8 weld on fitting, the rest were stupid -8 - 3/8th npt fittings that baker performance had in stock, second time I went there they didn't have shit I wanted. I'll stick with anplumbing in the future.

Yeah it's rare I ever DRIVE to pick these things up, I just wanted to get everything I needed to my fab dude since -10 is what I originally was going to put on the back of the hump but that's too big a hose for the drainback into the block.

Earl's store 1 in Hawthorne (been there for almost 40 years) will beat Summit/Jegs, and Tom is an awesome dude. I almost always go through him.

If you're concerned about the integrity of the steel from being bent and heated, just reheat it till its orange again and quench it in water. But it's safe, you shouldn't have any issues. |

My question is why mess with 1/4" steel? ~1/8" is what Wedge uses for their brackets, and what I've always used. You trying to make a 20lb seat bracket or what?

i have wedge brackets on there right now, but they sit way too high, i took a micrometer to them and it was 3/16s, so i figured its like wood, were the actual measurement is a bit smaller like a 2x4 is actually 1 7/8 x 3 7/8, im new to metal thanks for the info guys ill look in to a torch and some 1/8 steel,

Nice cage.
Also, totally didn't make the connection about Chaser being local to MD till I saw the newish 1812 anniversary tag on the miata. Roof spoiler thing looks good.

Sorry, but that cage isn't built to FD specs, the rear bars have to tie into the rear frame, no more strut tower connections for the rear bars. Found that out at Irwindale........ |
