Tig exhaust/custom stuff

[Boosted P]

Is it really 3/16? That is huge. Biggest I have is 3/32. We've had bigger at work, but that is for very high current uses.

Ooops, yes I ment 3/32". At times I use the 1/16" tungsen as well.

Look pretty nice. Are you concerned at all that the exhaust will heat the trans too much sitting like that?

Not at all. There is a lot of air moving under there when the car is driven. In the picture it looks like it is very close, but in fact there is about 3/4" gap between the pipe and the transmission case. I have built 17 complete kits and have many very happy customers out there. Some are making over 600whp on 93 octane.

I should mention that I am not a welder, and learned how to do this in my spare time. I am an electronics engineer, so nothing even close to welding.

In the pics I didn't see the gap so I guess it may not be as bad as I thought. The pipe still gets pretty hot and stays hot after the car is no longer in motion.

Like you, I learned welding in my spare time and actually learned how to TIG by watching youtube videos and then trying it out for myself. My education and carrer happen to be in the computer world of networking and information technology, and software engineering.

Also those manifolds look nice
