Built exhaust!
 
6 Attachment(s)
Has any one on here actually built their own exhaust?
I'm asking because today I was sitting in my auto class and and my teacher had nothing for us to do. So me and a few friends decided too put an exhaust on my car. Over the years kids in that class(I'm still in high school (17 years old)) would swap exhaust and leave a whole bunch of parts behind, well we grabbed a few pieces and got to work. Took about 4 hours. It has a nice deep tone. It turned out a lot better that I expected. We still have to mount the exhaust with the stock hangers but we're doing that tomorrow. I will post a video of the exhaust and more detailed pics of the welds and what not tomorrow. But her are some pics I took. Attachment 24917

And no this isn't mommy or daddy sponsored. I'm paying for the car.
And this we just something for us to do. I am getting the Evo3 soon so no need to hate.
P.S. the man in the pics is my teacher, he helped with the torch and welding. Probably wouldn't have finished without his help.

I work A lot! I also get paid pretty good. Where i work there are a few people that dont really give a sh*t about anything so its not hard to move up and get noticed by the manager. My manager allows me to come in and work when i have free time (4 hours minimum) I pretty much have no social life. Haha
Guess that shows how much i wanted this car. haha

All the more power to you man, we need more younger guys with that go-getter attitude. Im working 50 hours a week on breaks from college to save to buy the car when I graduate in a semester

Same here, man. I know cars probably are not the best investment, but cars are my second love. I'm working my a** off to get this car. Just have to sell my tC and it's mine!

Exhaust looks great, great job. Well done on working hard for what you want.

Hey, props for doing something different. Post up a sound clip, I'm really curious to hear how it sounds.

frsguy707 01-09-2013 11:34 PM

Nice work!

RD1428 01-10-2013 03:09 AM

What is the size of the pipes?

Welding with no gloves?... Your shop teacher needs to have a talkn to about shop safety.... Now when you say this isn't mommy or daddy sponsored i'm just wondering how you made a down payment or got approved for a loan at 17.... it's okay to admit you are getting help dude. My Parents bought me my first car... I just got done paying them back last year. no need to be fibbn! Not bad for a 17 year old though! (I say that about your teacher because I work for a school district and he would be fired over here for that)

Bring on the video!
