Re: Project Patina Azul
Working in the dirt again but at least my friend is letting me use his welder.
I had to take a 3 inch section outta the passenger leg of the Y-pipe to move the entire assembly over enough to get it inside the frame rails
Here is where I got the final fit of the down pipes back to the Y assembly.There was a lot of trimming and grinding and in and out from under the Burb to get the fit so good
Then on the existing 2 1/2 pipe I used a small section of 2 1/2 and slit it and placed it over the pipe to make a better fit for the 3 inch Y-pipe.
Then I finish welded the Y-pipes and used a 3 inch exhaust clamp to squeeze down on the collar I made to adapt the 3 inch to the 2 1/2.
And now the Y-pipe is happy at home inside the frame rails and tied into the existing system
