Making my own true dual system

im kind of learning as i go, i just bought the welder like 2 weeks ago. Im slowly fabbing up an exhaust.

First problem is that my long tubes come out at angles like this. \ /

so i had to make them straight and weld some collector flanges on them.












that's pretty much all i was able to do last night.
This is what i did today, pretty much finished had to and some length to the arms of the front of the x







installed for the most part. (just need to mount some hangers) and do some finishing welds




shot of the clearance, should actually be able to get a little more clearance after im done mounting everything

Nice, I'd like to learn how to weld some day. Did you end up doing an engine swap or you still have a V6?

Welding really isn't that hard. You just have to make sure that you are getting good penetration without burning through the thin pipe.

looks like it turned out great. It would be nasty with turn downs, will make it sound better to. looks very good.

did you mount the muffler off the floor board in the rear? where else did you hang from
