Finally the chance has come that I had both good weather and time to go out and make an exhaust for the car, OK maybe I am cheating a little as I have already purchased a back box and middle box, however it still needs hangers, pipework and also to be welded together.
The system is a nice easy unit, one middle box, 2 mandrel bends, and a back box, which is to all be stainless and all TIG welded together.
Firstly I made hangers for the back box and hung it, then I cut the mandrels down to size and joined them together, once joined I welded them to a straight section of stainless tubing.
The pipework was then welded to the middle box, I did have some alignment issues at fist but this was all resolved during the tacking stage of the welding.
Really pleased with the outcome of the first full exhaust I have ever made, maybe next time I will also make the boxes...
Finial position as one piece, great amount of movement and rigidity, fits perfectly, just need to wait and see how is sounds.
