tec280zx Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hey all, bought a new Lincoln 175hd last week and decided my task would be to build the rest of my exhaust. Unfortunately, I still have the stock downpipe and a 2.5 inch magnaflow muffler. After the downpipe it transitions to a 3 inch cat, then 3 inch piping to a 2.5 muffler. I gotta reuse my muffler from my na setup till I can afford a new one. Anyways, heres some pictures, and yes my welding is horrendous. I took a class last winter and I only used a Lincoln 135 with gas, but this was all done with innershield. (Getting a tank soon) That and i've never welded "on car" before. Ok, theres my excuses.

tec280zx Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks Matt, I believe I used 3 3inch u bends that I bought at Summit Racing. Just cut and fit. What do you guys recommend for cutting exhaust pipe? I used a hacksaw and it worked, but made the fitment of the pipes pretty lousy. Oh, the wheels are Konig Rewinds, 15x7.

naviathan Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 For 3" pipe use a long bi-metal blade on a reciprocating saw. Gotta love that Lincoln 175hd. I have one as well and I couldn't be happier. And yes, Mattsun, gas is a must! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec280zx Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks for the tip Nav, now I need go buy another tool. Air or electric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Electric. I prefer electric anyway. The air ones I think bind up too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyc Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 looks good! i always take a worm gear clamp and clamp it on the pipe...even in the bends it works well...then take a sharpie and draw a line...then cut it with the grinder and cut off wheel...

MaTTSuN Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 i bought a band saw... not a very staight cut, it likes to walk out i also got a cheap chop saw i think it was like 50-80 buck and it came with an angle grinder got that from Princess auto i think that works the best on the cheap it has a clamp built in and it cuts straight and true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
