What did you use to cut the pipes you used for the collector?
a chop saw, i started using a horizontal band saw but it broke.

ye ai got the collector welded. i need to get my motor back in so i can make the rest. i will get pics of the collector up tonight
ill have your t3 flange done tomorrow. just text me tomorrow and remind me before my first break (9:30).
ok
well normal mig welding hold up?and a few coats of high temp paint and wrap?
i believe he is TIG'ing it at work
ya i read that part,but i was kinda asking my own question if mig welding would withstand the heat?cuz i only have a mig welder at my house.
Not trying to thread jack..its a related topic-trying to make my own also
yea i think that if you mig weld it that it will hold.......... i had a obx manifold about a year ago that cracked and a mig welded it and it held up good
what bout welding cast to stainless? i cut my OEM header and got the header flange from it.mayb ghetto but it should not crack.lol
can u get the weld els at home depot?
