Thanks to Ebay Motors for sponsoring this video! CLICK here ebayvehicle.com/app/Donut to search through thousands of cars and parts & list those project cars and spare parts sitting around!
Soooo yes we've done a few episodes on exhausts in the past, BUT today we graduate from buying a full exhaust to buying raw materials so we can make our own! Having a loud exhaust is not only rad but it helps the driver with shifting times. And we are 100% into being the best rally drivers in the world so that means we need to make the e36 the best it can be. As our homegirl J.Lo said "let's get loud people." (Jobe hates this joke but I still kept it ... haha). Go watch the vid!
We have a new(ish) channel!

As a welder fabricator, I'd love to see a follow up on how the exhaust holds up over time, instead of back purging too you can use solar flux next time for when you don't want to use the extra argon, the welds become more brittle when you don't back purge too it's not just about the aesthetic and its tendency for rusting quicker, it's worth doing at least a backing plate or something, love what you guys are doing!

Should’ve mentioned that cleaning your parts with brake parts cleaner can be extremely dangerous. If your brake cleaner contains tetrachloroethylene, you can expose yourself to an extremely poisonous gas when welding. A lot of the “50 state” brake parts cleaner no longer contains this chemical, they use acetone instead. But always check, and it’s honestly safer to use acetone by itself.

@rodanone4895 2 жыл бұрын

one hundred and ten percent!!! acetone. and be careful with the acetone. some have oils and grease remnants emulsified when you buy it. apparently there is reagent grade acetone where this ingredient is controlled. but i can't find it. i start with acetone. then scrub again with a dry cloth. the danger them becomes lint... shop vac. then weld. tom eager from MIT has an amazing series on KZfaq for welding metallurgy, fusion welding etc .. but, the algorithm is unlikely to recommend it. he talks often of welding cleanliness even with low carbon steel.

First off, if that was your first time welding…amazing job! Second, check out stainless autogenous pulse tig, it has totally changed how I weld stainless exhaust. I understand this is a beater but it was my understanding that you shouldn’t stiff weld the exhaust to the chassis as the vibrations will cause some points of it to crack (hopefully not near the headers. The hanger needs bushings. Also, what a lovely head of hair.

@crisnmaryfam7344 2 жыл бұрын

the solid mount is often done in rally cars for the extra clearance it can provide. You also often see solid chassis mounted engine and trans mounts too. All sorts of vibration going on and often its not the exhaust that breaks.

The filler is helpful for extra strength I would think, autogenous welds are nice because you use only the material you're welding, but it can leave the material a bit weaker than a good filler bead with back purging. This is just my experience though so if I'm incorrect I apologize lol

It's counterintuitive but a steeper angle on your electrode's tip will give you a wider arc. An electrode ground flat will create an almost laser like arc.

@paytonlee2896 2 жыл бұрын

Very underrated comment. To a newer welder, they may not notice. But if you do the different grinds back to back, you can really see the difference. It’s why you want a large angle (60* point) for thin metal, vs a shallow angle (15* point) for thicker metals. The large angle allows you to have a more focused arc, where the heat affected zone isn’t trying to melt a larger area of the metal.

Invest in an local exhaust extraction system for welding, especially when welding after using break cleaner with TCE (phosgene) or welding on stainless steel (hexavalent chromium).

@neilbufton2926 2 жыл бұрын

I thought the rule was straight up don't weld anything with brake cleaner on it.......EVER. "once the gas is inhaled there is a little a doctor can do except give supportive care such as ventilation" that's enough to put me off going near the stuff personally!

I think the tips were phenomenal and the welding was amazing one tip for stainless steel is flux it’s specific for stainless, just makes the insides you said not to look at a bit cleaner without needing to backfill just a little flux on the inside and the outside just a friendly tip:)

@Felipera_ 10 ай бұрын

Drummer + Welder here (amateur on both sides): it does help! Hand-eye coordination comes in handy, as well as the ability to keep a steady rhythm while feeding the material into the arc. Often you do that to a constant beat to achieve an uniform weld.

I get enjoying a project like this. It's a lot of work and, in my caser, more expensive, but it's fun at the same time. I relate it to doing the custom cooling in PCs. The tubing bends, the fittings, the water blocks for the CPU and GPU, the radiators, the reservoir, the pump, and the satisfaction of it not leaking when it's all done. Does it even improve performance over something pre-configured for my hardware off of the shelf? Not really. It's about having the end result and the satisfaction of doing it myself and there is no other PC like it. The WOW factor of other people and their reaction to seeing it through the glass panels of the computer case is awesome! Anyone can put a PC together if they take their time. Only a small percentage of people that build computers can do what I do with customization. I'm good enough at it that people ask me to do the same for them.

Great stuff as always and excellent use of a welding marker. To the new welders out there take it from someone that had to learn the hard way, get some welding markers and always use them, they're worth every penny. Using Zach's 4° cut as an example, with that small of a change if you just "eyeball" it and don't weld the pieces back together at exactly 180° of rotation or if you're making a direct cut onto the item for the angle and instead of a coupler that you can position however you need to, you might find that the other end of your item is now an inch or two to the left or right of where it was supposed to be because of the slight deviation. At that point it's already too late and you'll end up either starting over or going down a rabbit hole trying to make it work. The "measure twice and cut once" philosophy is the same in welding, measure twice and weld once, you'll be glad you did.
