Default some fab work today

Shitty day out today and had some time on my hands. With being off on the holiday season(I still need a job, just recovered from a bike wreak) I decided to make a 3" inch down pipe and 38mm wastegate dump tube today on my friends car.

Adjective:
-Fab up a down pipe that had good ground clearance(car will be slamed)

-Have the cut out with the best ground clearance.

-Have good clearance with the oil pan

-Have the dump tube where it doesn't cover most of the goodies(big turbo for street car-sorry can't give out spec on turbo size and motor set up).

-Every thing will be stainless steel.

-Every thing will be nice and clean in side in out, all pieces that were cut was then cleaned, beveled, ported out,and etc-pretty much same way intercooler piping are mind.

-Just some thing nice

This is how it worked out for my firends car at VIP tinting and detailing.


(I didn't make the cut out) for got to put the before picture of the dump tube.

The application


Tigging






o2 bung(would of welded the o2 bung farther up but, that was the only best spot to but it because of the cut out clearance and the half shaft)


Last tacking


finished

Waste gate


Installed-would of routed the dump tube under the pan as well but the material wasn't provided(farest away from the turbo is always better)




About half an inch clearance


Thanks to LD-rhdEG6 for taking the pictures

-Not pictured, Cusco lsd install...............................

I hope you enjoy(ain't bad from a bike wreck about 2 months ago with a messed up shoulder, broken ribs, and alot of road rash)

-Alex

That's not surprising, I see that work done from him all the time before his arm was broken and he had to learn it all over again. You should see some of his roll cages, custom exhausts, intercooler piping, intercooler endtanks, aluminum work and more. Can't wait for my intercooler piping to be done.

Whatever he is charging now isn't enough for the quality of work you get! PM him, he will take care of you. He worked with me for a while and I found him to be one of the most naturally talented guys I've met.




Keep up the good work Alex!!!

Oh and if there are any shops out there looking for a guy who can do it all, and knows what he is doing, it's Alex. If you have any openings you should hit him up. This guy is gonna be someone big one day. Mark my words!!
