Title: Welding An Exhaust System
Post by: reefreshd_jive on May 06, 2005, 06:24:47 PM

hey everyone.
i am just wondering if anyone out there can help me tomorrow afternoon, or night to weld up an exhaust system for my car. i have most of it fitted, so i hope it will be fairly simple...
for payment i have a brand monza 4tip GT exhaust that i will never use, or if you prefer beer...
let me know
thanks
james.

Depending on Material you will likely need Tig for a nice job

Yup....

Is the system fitted and just need production weld (tacked together) or does it need to be designed/fitted
