You mean like this?







Driver's side has 10 welds in the pipes. All are ground down and nearly invisible, and will be when the powder coating is done.

I just finished up the pass side final grinding/sanding tonight. I'll get them tacked to the flange, tack the EGT bungs, and tack the collector tabs on tomorrow night. Then it's time for some TIG welding by Ash Bros (here from RJ) to finish them up.

It's been a fun project, and not overly difficult. The hardest part was actually taking a die grinder to the fender, knowing the cost if I screwed the fender or paint up, lol.

Hey onebadGMC, That is going to be one of my next projects due to clearance issues with mine running under the car now. Since you have experience you should come do mine for the fun of it. :lol: :lol:
