My booger welds.

This was my first time welding, so go easy on me. But what does everybody think? I think for my first time I did okay.

It sounds great, not too droney and not too loud either. It sounds very truck like now. Although the glasspack does sit a bit lower than I’d probably like, I may remove the mounting bracket and move it up later in the week.

DISCUSSION (30)

What kind of welder did you use?

Pretty good looking welds for a first timer though!

You used a lot less booger than what I’m used to seeing. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure if that’s good or bad.

Regardless, kudos!

Why bother wasting time and effort welding in a bendy straw?

Cuz emissions, they have to have a place to put the test stick

Should have just gotten a good 90, two band clamps and some sealant.

That is a 90

Yes, but one that looks like a bendy straw. It’s not going to help your exhaust flow at all.

Kinja'd!!!

Won’t hold up to much abuse, but it’s exhaust so as long as it doesn’t leak it should be fine. If it does, there’s always clamps.

Welds look good!

well well well... this might be timely. I apparently have to go in for emissions tests soon, and usually I slip fit my factory muffler so as to not agitate the testers, been considering having it’s terribleness welded. Wanna do some more practicing? Can only help your welding become less boogery, and I use the piece literally for 30 minutes every 2 years so it doesn’t have to be quality :D

According to some laws, your’s(If you are talking about the Powerstroke) already has a muffler, the turbo.

Actually I could. I actually really enjoyed myself welding. But it wasnt my welder and I did it on a lift (not my lift either) It belongs to Jake Huitt’s Grandparents. But if I were to ask, they’d surely let you bring your civic by for me to weld the exhaust
