Man these guys do some good work!

looking good, FYI try using .035 stainless mig wire for filler. its little more workable for smaller radius's. Youll be able to get a cleaner weld to with not using as much heat and not as much black sugar

I could probably slow down a bit and perfect my welding skilz, but it takes a lot of time, not that it's that messy, but the entire kit will be wrapped.
I've never had a weld or pipe around it crack yet.
btw, those headers are 11g stainless, thickass stuff, had some like it on my truck a while back, kept in heat so well, plug wires leaning against the wrapped headers never melted.
not the case with this one, plenty of air insulation.

thx.

yea not saying messy, just offering a few pointers. Someone showed me that trick of using the mig wire as filler and it helps. Yea 11ga is pretty thick , 1/8" compared to the typical 16ga [1/16"] of most other tubing

Ya, gonna be a daily driver, and with texas heat, dang, it'll get hot here. that thick stuff really helps keep underhood temps down.
i'll try it on a few pieces, i have some here.

sexy build!

Ya, gonna be a daily driver.

I don't think Silversleeper will hold that status for so long, once he feels the Power of Boost, he will be hook 4life. And that huger will grow worst.

Is looking awesome, and love how that desing moves air with almost no restriction at all !

Haha I have felt it in another truck and its addicting that's for sure.

This truck will always remain a street truck, be driven on the street and raced at various tracks.

Even when the build past this build (which is already on the drawing board) is installed it will be a daily driver.

It'll have cold AC, etc and you'll find it running the streets of Mexico quite often.
