well i just got done doin' up my buddys manifold for his turbo build, he wanted to go with a ratrod style theme in the engine bay, ive done alot better ones in the past this just gave the exhaust a deep rough tone too it

C&C welcomed

 

Holy weld

 

that is the hotness!!!!! what kind of car does your buddy have? i can tell it's going to freaking awesome!

 

Cobalt LS w/ 2.2L L61

 

oh snap!

oh yea..... i think know who your talking about. i'll have to keep an eye out for him, he really is building up a sleeper.

 

please tell me that this is a joke...
at least make the thing look clean, but a manifold with nothing but straight sections and joints that look like a 4th grader welded? I dont even know how to weld, and i can say thats a horrible welding job, aesthetically anyway. But if it works it works....and if you made it yourself..its not bad for a DIY manifold i suppose. Its just ugly as all sin...

 

hey man, beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

 

to each his own i guess.
and thats definetly not a 4th grader weld....im in college

 

::looks at crack pipe::

::looks at welder::

::puts down crack pipe::

 

serious? that is the worst welding job i have ever seen

 

Those welds are awful...so much splatter. Did that start out as strait pipe? no bender? 45* cuts? Was this your first time welding?

 

whoa...thats bad.

 

ya all straight pipes

and nah it was not my first time welding.
ive done quite a few of these for people and they were satisfied

 

i lmao when i read this

 

i can weld alittle but i would never try something this intese it does look like crap but i dont think there are many people that would even be able to fabricate a manifold. get a grinding wheel to it clean it up alittle and youll be golden

 

that's not an ecotec flange.

good try though.

 

why does it look like there another input for it? bottom left??

 

that for the external wastegate

 

ya...because i said i was completely done with it too....

 

That looks awful. Ive been welding for 5+ years and I could weld better than that with my eyes closed....

Were those people high?
