How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

Exactly- it's not perfect, but it's better than crush-bent stuff from the local muffler shop- and I have a pretty good exhaust guy. I got the kit from Jeg's a few years back- $239 is as cheap as I can find it now...

Thanks! It turned out pretty well, I think. Should suit my needs just fine- hope to fire her up in the next couple of days and see how it sounds

My practice welds turned out about like yours. To me the weld appearance is similar to what the exhaust shop would do which I'm not happy about. So I'll prob just tack mine & carry it to work & let the pros finish weld it (I'd prefer to not have the beads on the stainless tubing.... I want it smooooth).

I'm prob going to pick up a 'slightly used' 110 suitcase TIG set-up & start practicing though. I just need to move forward now & can't delay for the learning curve.

Your routing looks nice BTW! Very similar to how mine is routed.

Ya know people like you and your ability to to do top notch work at a break neck pace make me sick... nothing personal I'm just jealous (of both your abilities and your truck).
