Right, I've got a week off next week as the garage where I now work is closed, I've packed in building as I'm sick of dealing with customers. However we're still going to be there doing some tidying up and finishing off loose ends ect. This means I can get my S2 up on a lift and finish fabricating my exhaust, finally!!! This is the last major task I have left before the car is finished and I'm really excited about getting the old girl back on the road.
I was going just going to tack up butt joints and get the thing finished by a pro using TIG and back purging ect. However after repairing a couple of systems for customers this week I feel my welding skills are up to the job, I'll be sleveing and MIG welding my joints as we don't have a TIG at work, though we do have a bloody good MIG. This will save me a fair bit of cash which means I can get it live mapped sooner.
I know a few members on here have done the same and I'd like some advice on the best places to purchase the steel. I don't need a lot, as I have a Jetex 2.75" back box and a **** hot 3" down pipe with flexi joint fabricated by Alex in Sweden.
Of the top of my head I need.
2 meters of straight 3" pipe.
2 45 degree bends.
1 30 degree bend.
4 or 5 sleving pieces.
I'd also like some V'band flanges, enough to do three joints, so I can make provision for a front box to get the thing on track.
Any advice would be most usefull, I'd like to order the stuff on Monday so I can take as much time as I like over getting it right later in the week.
