so i realized the exhaust i had was a single piece i dont know why exhaust shops do this crap...
 and when i took it off the car, i already had cut it in two pieces....  too long, to put in, and to service... needed to add flanges...  ebay is a good source. all you need is a angle grinder with a cutting wheel, an abrasive wheel, and a MIG welder.... If you can borrow a MIG, do it, learn. Save money.... best way to cut a pipe, with a grinder, is to clamp it. it serves as a guide, even when you use the abrasive disc to remove edges..  first piece is done.. did not put the process of welding, that is boring.. If you see, i also did the tail pipe...   use the abrasive wheel to smooth it out and to prepare for welding.  then weld...  i used barbeque paint to protect the welds... enjoy.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

I'm curious, what are you protecting the welds from? Rust/corrosion?
I'm about to weld a new muffler on one of my vehicles, but hadn't even thought that the welds would need protection. -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

Good tip with the clamp! I won’t have any time to get my welder out this weekend but maybe this upcoming week I’ll get it out of my shed and start working on some exhaust.
