I Forget what thread it was but byebye's custom axleback got me thinking about making an exhaust for my X. I had a custom turboback on my DSM and saved me alot of money. However, the DSM exhaust was just good enought to not leak, break, rust. The X exhaust will be TIG welded and SS Flanges. I already have all the parts except the flanges and gaskets, those are in the mail.

Teh work horse:


Teh bends:


This exhaust will be painted black and will be TIG welded for an awesome bond. The paint will be high heat resistant paint and to prevent rusting. Single exit.

I have 7.5 ft of stragiht pipe for this project. It will be a catback for now, unless I have enough left for the mid pipe. I'll keep you boys posted.

 

where did you get the bends from?

 

A guy on ebay. 30 bucks for 10 assorted, mostly 45s and 90s.

 

nice^

 

oh, i just noticed, the bends and pipe are not stainless? that why your painting it?

 

Yes. Its hard to find stainless. Besides, paint will work just fine to prevent rustin. Dont need that fancy stainless stuff.

 

i would agree down here, stainless isn't that big a deal. but if you lived in michigan it wouldn't last one winter ask me how i know

 

Hopefully this is enough

 

Update.

The exhaust is done. Check it.





DOIN WORK SON

Everything was tacked on like this for fitment.

EXTREME ENGINEERING


Test fitment almost done.



It works, get off me. :P





TIG treatment complete.

Your boy with heat treated exhaust. Word to your mothers.

I will bolt it on here in a few mins. The stock gasket will be used.

Discuss.

 

Nice who did the work? How much did u spend total?

 

My friend and I did all the fitment and cutting. He tacked it together and his pop's shop has a TIG welder. He finished it off and brought it back.

Ill count how much I spent, rounded up.

Muffer: 52 s+h included
Bends: 50 s+h included
Straight pipe: 7.5 ft for 30
Paint: 10
Case of beer for my friends pop: 25

All this comes out to an exhaust roughly 167. This is not counting the parts I traded my friend for helping me(FP Intake pipe for DSM, Twin Piston "Big Brakes" for DSM"). Not bad eh?

 

I just got done mounting it so I'll be back with pictures.

 

that ish is gonna be LOUD! Like Danny loud

 

haha i have the br exhaust now so im not that loud..but i wanna hear it..167 isnt to shabby for a catback exhaust..did you replace the cat too?

 

Its not as loud as you would think. I didn't replacce the cat but I have enough to do it.
