90 bucks too!! Although me and my friend were jokingly saying we could get some pipes from a hardware store and then use a torch to weld them. How hard could it be. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Probably easier than the man at the muffler shop would lead you to believe.

It doesn't have to be a quality piece we are just doing this for laughs. We want to take the muffler off and have this redirect gasses when it is off.

Get a muffler shop to add a "y" coming off the exhaust and just put one of these cut-outs on. . . Then you don't have to get under the car to change your exhaust and you can go from mildly loud to "I can't hear you" with the flip of a switch.

Depends on how expensive that would be. Plus I would have to add labor. And the muffler takes 10 minutes to replace without a lift!

I guess if you are just going to put a turndown on instead of the muffler that isn't so bad. I can't imagine it being too expensive to get a shop to put a ''y'' in a pipe for a cut-out.

From what it sounded like I thought you were planning on removing your whole exhaust every time you wanted to be obnoxious. . .

Huh. I have some of that stuff sitting in a pile in my garage, next to the TIG welder.

Yeah no, I am just removing the very end with a muffler. Removing the entire back would be a pain. I also don't really want to cut up the catback. Granted I got it used and there is no warranty but I don't know...

You should give me one. . . for free. . . because you love me. I offer services if needed.

You'd have to come up with the V-band rings, I'm sure they're out there. Check Jegs. I'll have to go look in my pile of tubing and see exactly what I have, then I'd need to know the exact dimensions and whatnot.

Also, I'm not BrownDog, my TIG holds, and it's airtight, but it's not always something of beauty.

Where are you located?

Wait. . . you are okay with this? Well shit dude. I don't really care about the welds, it just has to be connected well enough to where it won't leak! This pipe is only for funnzies and racing! I am located in Indiana, near Gary(at least that is where I ship everything).

If you are up for giving me this, I am up for paying you and paying for shipping! And I do have V-band rings(canme with the exhaust). Whatever info you need, I can inform you!

I have a rudimentary machine shop, as well. I doubt I'll need that, but I like throwing metal around.

Like I said, it's not always pretty, but it always works.

The turbo end of my equal-length turbo manifold:

The first manifold I made, the N/A exhaust, also equal-length. MIG, not TIG. Not very pretty welds.

The beginning of the downpipe for the current setup:

Finished downpipe. Comes out right behind the front wheel.

The turbo manifold of doom:

Everything together:

I need to know the length, radius, etc. I'm guessing it's a 90 degree elbow, but I need close dimensions. I may have a J-bend that just needs to be cut and weld the flanges on, otherwise I'll have to cut a 90 elbow and weld a straight piece onto it.

When I said rings, I'm referring to the flanges, not the clasps, just to make sure we're on the same page. You can probably find them on Ebay if that's not what you have... I bought my twin-scroll turbo flange on there. There's all sorts of flanges and whatnot out there.

The hardest thing will be time. I have very little of it, but I'll figure something out. Just don't expect an overnight turnaround...

Don't worry, I am a very patient man. You can take however long you want, I don't need this now. . . hell I don't even need it, I just want it. Just don't get started on anything yet! I want to know if I want to do this for sure!

So the pipe needs to be 2.5" outer diameter and obviously needs a V-band clamp at the end. If you have a 90 degree pipe that would work, just cut the tip so that it the side closest to the bumper is longer that way I know it will shoot more towards the ground. If you can't cut it, that's fine. Kind of like this.

As for dimensions. Make it look like the above pipe. You have plenty of room in my car. I guess starting at the clamp about an inch until it reaches the bend and then about 5 to 5 and a half inches til the end of it. Tell me if this isn't making sense, cause sometimes I type things and normal people can't really read it. . . cause I can't type.

The TIG welds don't look half bad! I got a high flow catted front pipe and overpipe with welds that look a little nicer than that(granted it was 400 bucks with a cat, but you would expect something nicer from a company).

If for some reason SteyrTMP is unable to do it, let me know. I've been doing some snowmobile turbo manifolds lately, and I'm sure no one would notice if I were to sneak another pipe through. Although I think I only have 20ga in 2.5".

My biggest challenges are the lack of a bench—everything is done on the ground, with me kneeling next to it, operating the pedal with a knee, or hastily propped onto something. The other challenge is no way of rotating tubing while welding it, so there's visible tell-tales where I have to stop, rotate a part, then start from where I left off.
I'm going to see if I can do it at work, if we decide to go with this, as I only have one argon tank, so I won't have a separate tank for purging. I'd have to seal one side off, pump argon trough the other end, seal it off, then start, and every time I go to rotate, I'd have to re-purge. At work, I'd have access to a lot more stuff.

I need a picture of where this is going. Find a picture online of the underside of a BRZ (I'm, guessing this is what its for from the previous clips), and highlight where it's going. If this is what I think it is, it won't be very hard.

If its too much trouble, don't worry about it! The pipe itself isn't that expensive anyway! No need to do to much work for a stranger over the internet.

If you are still up for it though. Here is a picture of a car with my exhaust system. Tons of room! I am placing it just before it connects to the muffler. Like I said, I just want it to exit to the ground.

Once again, you don't have to do it if it is to much of a hassle.

No, it'll be easy. I thought it had to connect on both ends, originally. If ask you need is for it to aim down, with no ring on the one end, there's no real tolerance, it'll just be welding the ring on. I'll try to look ib the garage tonight and make sure I still have enough stainless.

Yeah, it isn't something crazy, just a simple pipe. It doesn't have to be long. Make it like the piece above. Obviously the shorter side is the one with the clamp.

Before you get started, did you want anything for this? We can settle a price and such.
