i must say i am quite please with the way it turned out the welding nere the manafold was made with 6014 rods so i think it might rust i will just keep an eye on it if it dose i will have to paint it :worried2:

its still loud but its a nice sound instead of an ear spiting headache

i also spent manny hours polishing it the end can it the standard exhaust of a tzr 125 and i sliped a chrome pipe on the end for the bling factor

So did you arc weld the stainless? I've got all the parts, bar the 2-1 collector, to make my buggy exhaust out of stainless and I'm wondering if I should save some money and weld it myself. I probably wont, because if I expect to be able to sell the buggy (eventually) I want it to look awesome, and my welding isn't that great.

The exhaust looks really good! I think you should polish it all up, then run it heaps so that you get that gradual colour change at the port along the exhaust. That always looks awesome.

yeah it welded it fine i think you can get stainless steel welding electrodes but i think thay are expsensive

no matter how bad the weld is you can usaly fix it with a grinder

i ground down the weld i did to it looked better then gave it a quick polish i have tried runing it to make it blue more but i got a problem with my chain :furious2: it came of and stated taking lumps out of my engine caseing

Not too sure that exhaust will work very well on your kart, maybe you should box it up and send it to me for further testing.
Actually it looks pretty sharp, job well done.

What kind of crap is this, Robin? First, you give us low quality lawnchair and questionable looking vehicles and all of a sudden you bust out with Stainless steel? Not cool, I tell you!! :arf:

It looks very nice, btw.
