ok heres the story...

i have been fixing the car for about 3 weeks now, after work and stuff.
i had a trailer next to the car and used it for storing parts/ workspace/ cleaning bits.
last week dad took the trailer to the tip which he filled up with rubbish, along with my carbie, exhaust manifold, waterpump, all the fricken little vacume hoses and my distributer and all the leads and plugs. dad didnt realize what was in the trailer was NOT rubbish and just chucked the lot...

NOW IM REALY STUCK....

ive all the other bits off a wreck, and im stuck at the exhaust.

the wreckers wont give me a carbie exh manifold for any less than $85 "SFU retards..."

I have installed the HiTech extractors, which have the flexi pipe attached, then about 1 meter of pipe. what i want to do is connect the 1m pipe to the existing exhaust. how do i do it? what is the best way??? my mate has a welder but is pretty limited in skills... im stumped so any help would really be appreciated. The guy at my local exhaust shop quoted $180 for a new 2" system including a redline x flow? muffler installed. is this a good price? he said if i take it easy i can take the back roads to the shop with just the extractors on he can do it, he also said it would be "rather excessive in noise"! ha ha Really?

Thanks guys...

dude this really sucks sorry to hear that sounds reasonablly cheap for the 2 inch zorst see if u can get him down on price by buying him a box of beer may work may not never kno

the other question is wat type of welder does ur mate have is it T.I.G or stick gas or wat

Is the bit of 1m exhuast pipe the same size as the original exhaust pipe? If so there is a simple solution, either get a hammer and reduce the size of one of the pipe so one will fit inside the other (or use a cone shaped piece of metal to enlarge one of the pipes). Then get a pipe clamp, ive got one sitting around here somewhere if you want it, and clamp them together.

Otherwise $180 sounds like a fairly good price for 2" istalled.

yep sounds good to me, i had to drive about 5min without an mufflers, when i got the new system put on, geez it was noisey, but fun aswell lol

worst bit was the rear half was hanging about 2" off the ground, so every speed hump was torture :P

just try to keep the revs low, and dont accelerate hard, and youll be fine.
(think i did 40-50kmph the whole distance)


PS. im getting my flex pipe replaced for $60, and thats bringing my own replacement :s
