Seen some people make a flat exhaust so it tucks up under the chassis rail line ,basically u take say a 1.5 or a 2 inch pipe and cut it up the middle then cut a flat piece about 100 mm wide and weld it all together, overall thickness ends up being around 50mm but flows the same as 3 inch round pipe 👍 It's a good option in applications like taylers where the exhaust can't run in the factory location and space is limited.
Taylor Ray. Still my favorite “automotive” youtuber. There’s a lot that say there “automotive” but can’t even do there own oil changes. Love the content
My grandma walked in my room wondering if I opened up a welding shop in my room, I laughed and showed her some of your welding work and let’s just say she’s now on episode one of this build and is loving it 😂😂😂
I am actually so excited to see this build completed. It’s like your favorite tv show where a new episode comes out every friday and you want nothing more than for the whole season to drop so you can binge watch it
quick tip I learned from woodshop, is when you work with tools such as a band saw and other power saws, you never wear gloves because it can easily pull your hands into the blade if the material catches the blade, or if the glove touches the blade it is much easier for the blade to pull your hand in.
@@reecewoodruff3255 Well, yes and no. The inside of the weld will look like shit, and restrict the flow. Will there be a noticeable difference in performance, i doubt it. Still there is the correct way and the wrong way. Without purging you get root imperfections, and at least here it's and disqualifying error, and wouldn't pass the inspection. If you don't mind shitty welds that will crack, then you don't need to back purge it.
Dude, watching you almost makes me emotional! You have worked sooooo hard and have come so far! Great job man, in everything. Your so inspiring to watch. Thank you!
What if you tried to do an oval exhaust until you get out past the rear subframe and then go back to circular pipe for a muffler/resonator. Should make it much easier to tuck it up tight to the car. Either way I’m sure it be beautiful as always
Adam had the same problem on his build. For some reason, people think you can't use pie cuts to do straight pipe. Just cut straight and the pipe will be straight. Pie cuts are only curved because you're not cutting straight, you're cutting at an angle. Slicing a regular pipe into sections and welding it would make it look consistent, even if it is entirely aesthetic.
why even cut it if your doing that? just weld a bead around it... The reason they dont do it is bc real car builders would laugh if they saw beads running round a straight pipe
@@ClaytonF10 you could weld beads around a straight pipe.. But if you're making a longer straight section out of a couple small scraps it's just fine to cut everything to a uniform size. "Real car builders" care about details. Extra effort that doesn't gain any performance increase, introduces more points of failure, and is purely aesthetic, is not fit to everyone's taste. But "real car builders" understand that their taste isn't everyone else's taste.
Ya, could have been a few longer sections in that pipe, less angle on the cuts, and maybe 1/2 the amount of total welding to do for the same result but in the end, it still works. Though for exhaust.. was thinking of a cross-over with some oval pipe, then back to normal pipe.
Or you can just do it properly from the start, and use mandrel bends.. saves money, time, flows better, less welds to fail, and looks better. Piecuts are good if you have a tight radius that you can't achieve otherwise, but by the looks of it this downpipe didn't need them.
Don’t forget to add the bung on the down pile for the o2 sensor. Cause I always do...lol. You’re doing one hell of a job on this build. I can tell that you’re actually having fun doing it. That’s why I love to watch your content
What about doing an oval exhaust from the down pipe back to the back where you don't have to worry about ground clearance? It would put the frame rails lower then the exhaust so no worry of ground clearance.
For the cuts i would recommend getting a roller that you can sit on your bench (or just make a box) so that a long length of pipe or whatever is supported when you're using the bandsaw.
Love all the drift and racing stuff, that’s what got me into the channel, but all the builds and upgrades to everything is what keeps me here. Love the channel man.
it's amazing how much building cars is just plumbing... love your channel taylor, also love watching the skid factory, plumbing, plumbing and more plumbing, if it's not intake or exhaust it's fuel, wiring (plumbing for electrons?)...
Taylor has got so big he won’t make his own pie cuts lol This build is going to be sick. I love getting to watch you do all the welding, something I have always wanted to do.
Hey Taylor idk if you have tried it yet but you can tack pretty fast without filler on tight fit up parts. Set it up to pulse for a hot second. Nice fab work!
Nice build. Enjoy your videos. Just food for thought you may want to consider back purging the stainless tubing with argon. Keeps inside from crystallizing and keeps outside a nice rainbow color.
A tip for pie cuts is you need to make sure you cut 90 degrees on the pipe, the cold cut saw and when the pipe twists to cut on the band saw makes the angle a little off. If you push the pipe straight threw the band saw or an electric hack saw thingy and use a pre-bent j bend or u bend (that's an important part) at perfect 90s they will line up so much better when its time to weld. I'm sure you know all this, just putting out my thoughts LOL
You should make a sled to your band saw. 1 for true 90 degree and a insert to that to make pie cuts. You have the runners in the table so it can't be hard to weld up.
You need finer tooth blades for a tighter fit. Also when measuring always keep in mind blade thickness of the saw as well and your fit up will get better.
When it comes to tacking that stuff up and it keeps falling apart before you can take it off and really tack it all good, you can take a marker and make a few marks around so if it does come apart you can just align the marks and tack. I’m a welder so I know all about stuff like that lol 👍🏻🤘🏻👨🏭👨🏭
Hey bro use a grey (extra fine) 3m abrasive pad to knock down the shine on the polished piece and it will match much better. You may even want to use a maroon pad to knock it down a little further to a brushed finish like the rest of it.
You should smash the pipe down to an oval, it sounds really cool and lets you tuck all the way up flat against the body. I really don't know why I don't see people do this more often. Either way, love the content man, keep up the hard work!
great work on the pie cut turbo outlet. You were worried a little that it may move during the welding if you want to prevent pie cut from moving as much as possible do alot of tack on each pie cut as much as you can
Just spit-balling here, but your pie cuts need to be cut at perfect 180 degrees to match up diameter-wise, correct? Maybe draw two straight lines on either side of the pipe and use like a laser level or something so that every time you flip the pipe, you're flipping it a perfect 180. That way, the diameter will always match.
Taylor, i think polising the downpipe would be super cool, you could even do the wd40 trick to make it nice and gold. Grinding the polished stuff down is a waste i think, polisched stainless looks dope!You could polisch the intercooler pipes as well to make the welds more pretty!
Would love to see brent over at pfi speed tune this girl. Would be a cool vid
He comes down to FL often so I can see him coming down for a colab
Get this comment to the top!!!
The array of settings on that welder is insane. I'm over here with a terrible flux core mig, I have wire speed and high or low heat 😂
I think he mentioned Kyle from boosted boys helping him out
@@bagelbandit6076 but Kyle has Brent help him, skip the middle man lol
"Enough jibber jabber, lets get to work"... Need that on a shirt.
been thinking this for link a month!!! id buy one without thinking
@@LordVartok exactly what i was thinking, "Alright, enough jibber jabber" on a t shirt
@@LordVartok this has been a comment in past videos I am surprised it hasn't happened yet!!
Just go online and make your own^^
I came here to comment this!!!
Dont't know if you thought of this, but oval piping would tuck up even higher. Something to think about, can't wait to see this thing done!
I was thinking that same thing thanks to Jimmy O! 😂
Same here, lol

? Damn bro she must have some good ears to hear that welder good job to her
Was just about to put my phone down and got the notification for a Taylor ray upload. All daily duties can now wait.
FACTS
Yep! Was gonna roll the rear fenders on my 350Z to clear 265’s annnnddd now it’s gotta wait. Hey, 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t make the rules.
I am actually so excited to see this build completed. It’s like your favorite tv show where a new episode comes out every friday and you want nothing more than for the whole season to drop so you can binge watch it
FINALLY. Been waiting to get back to this project!
14:55 Little Guy & Blue striking up a friendship.
They’re bestest friends
Never clicked so fast, literally my favourite build on youtube atm
Your videos need to be 3hrs long. Minimum. You brighten my day. Anyone else agree!!!!
Such a lowkey wholesome channel.

No back purge? OMG! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! 🤣
I think you and Al from the skid factory would be good friends. Also, I agree.
Back purging has its place, 90% of the time is all wank haha
Don’t need to backpurge post turbo
@@reecewoodruff3255 Well, yes and no. The inside of the weld will look like shit, and restrict the flow. Will there be a noticeable difference in performance, i doubt it.

Can’t wait to hear this beast
One hell of a lawn mower
Respect the creative element in "making it" as apposed to "buying it". Nice work ---
I enjoy seeing Little Guy hanging out watching you work. He's basically part of the shop family.
As much as I want this build to be done and see it on the streets.. I don't want this content to stop!
Dude, watching you almost makes me emotional! You have worked sooooo hard and have come so far! Great job man, in everything. Your so inspiring to watch. Thank you!
Lmao at Blue pulling the GF around on the creeper, Love it!
This build is my favorite build so far. Keep up the good work Taylor

Use some of the oval 3 inch tube for exhaust, would look sick and it would tuck up tighter to the chassis

I’m cringing by the use of pie cuts when they’re not necessary. They’re only good for tight radius’s. Look at lawn dart not a single pie cut on it
Or you can just do it properly from the start, and use mandrel bends.. saves money, time, flows better, less welds to fail, and looks better. Piecuts are good if you have a tight radius that you can't achieve otherwise, but by the looks of it this downpipe didn't need them.
I love watching you do fab work. Not many people take the time to do it right but you always do. Mad respect man.
That Downpipe turned into a beautiful piece dude, bravo
Don’t forget to add the bung on the down pile for the o2 sensor. Cause I always do...lol. You’re doing one hell of a job on this build. I can tell that you’re actually having fun doing it. That’s why I love to watch your content
You need to do a logo plate of like your beard/head logo and weld it on the that straight section 👍
Absolutely !
What about doing an oval exhaust from the down pipe back to the back where you don't have to worry about ground clearance? It would put the frame rails lower then the exhaust so no worry of ground clearance.
Taylor why don’t u use oval tube instead. It would help keep ur pipe up and tight
For the cuts i would recommend getting a roller that you can sit on your bench (or just make a box) so that a long length of pipe or whatever is supported when you're using the bandsaw.
Taylor your channel has inspired me to start a welding/fab career. Thank you Taylor 🙏🏼
Taylor comes in clutch with another video right when I need it.
Welds look so much smoother than before!! WOULD YA JUST LOOK AT IT
Sometimes you just have to look at it!
I’m so glad you went with the K 24
Try oval piping under the car
"Enough jibber jabber let's get to work" Anybody else repeat that for the rest of your day when you hear it😂
I am so happy you're doing the classic youtuber hood exhaust
Love all the drift and racing stuff, that’s what got me into the channel, but all the builds and upgrades to everything is what keeps me here. Love the channel man.
17:50 what a ripper
That fusion welding was so satisfying

this is the most welding and fab that ive ever watched its interesting

I can't wait to hear this car come to life.
You need to get a Freud cold cut saw
Dude that down pipe came out great probably the best fabbed piece I’ve seen you make
The build vids are never long enough.

gona be honest your welding set up is like...the biggest flex. lol im so jealous.
I love your content Taylor, I look forward to seeing them all! Thank you

'enough jibber jabber' is now my new favourite phrase, use it everywhere!! Love the build man.

Taylor, have an idea what if you used oval shaped stainless for the exhaust so it will be more tucked up
Hey bro use a grey (extra fine) 3m abrasive pad to knock down the shine on the polished piece and it will match much better. You may even want to use a maroon pad to knock it down a little further to a brushed finish like the rest of it.
Taylor the only thing I would say is wrap your down pipe as Cefiro's brake masters don't like heat as the pedal get real spongy.
Taylor needs more subscribers.
You should smash the pipe down to an oval, it sounds really cool and lets you tuck all the way up flat against the body. I really don't know why I don't see people do this more often. Either way, love the content man, keep up the hard work!
Hell yeah!!!!I was hoping for a new video of the build. Nice work Taylor, you a boss brother!!!!
great work on the pie cut turbo outlet.
You were worried a little that it may move during the welding if you want to prevent pie cut from moving as much as possible do alot of tack on each pie cut as much as you can
Sick camera angle at the twenty minute mark. Able to see the interior of the pipe light up with the weld.
You should try welding an oval exhaust!
Dude the welds on the down pipe look sick!
To make your cuts come out better, use a miter gauge/sled. Your bandsaw table even has a slot for one already.
Just spit-balling here, but your pie cuts need to be cut at perfect 180 degrees to match up diameter-wise, correct? Maybe draw two straight lines on either side of the pipe and use like a laser level or something so that every time you flip the pipe, you're flipping it a perfect 180. That way, the diameter will always match.
The welds on that DP look amazing man, great job.
Great progress!! Any reason you didn’t backpurge the down pipe?
Keep an eye on the aluminum mount to stainless, can get brittle and crack over time. Just a heads up
I weld stainless all day with a #5 cup on a Miller synchrowave 220.
Pie cuts are cool dont get me wrong. Mandrel bends show me you got the right tools for the job.
Favorite project yet, in thing is looking smoking hot, keep it up dude
Some of your best welds yet
it’s ok Taylor you don’t have to explain. You take your time.
I use the same welder at work there ok had a couple issues but not to bad
Kinda random but i think it would be kinda cool if you did an update on the exterior and interior of the house
Taylor, i think polising the downpipe would be super cool, you could even do the wd40 trick to make it nice and gold. Grinding the polished stuff down is a waste i think, polisched stainless looks dope!You could polisch the intercooler pipes as well to make the welds more pretty!
Thank you for blessing my eyes with your welds😎😎
Got to love getting back to the cafiro build in the first 10 seconds 🙏
i haven't watched the video yet but this maybe my most favorite build series on yt
Looks good can't wait for the start up
Dude stainless looks so sick
Liked before even clicking play cause you know it’s gonna be 🔥 🔥
Use an oval pipe and cross over from right to left hand side and continue to tuck up the exhaust system
I love watching the weld videos never gets old! I’m a welder so that might help lol
might want to switch to oval exhaust for the under. Jimmy O did recently on his s chasis
I hope there's some heat reflective tape that gets put on that valve cover and some other important areas
Taylor have you ever thought of using oval tubing for your exhaust? Same area, yet more clearance.
You could always have the downpipe ceramic coated to help with heat and give it a uniform finish
Or just scuff the straight piece to match
I`ve been waiting on the cefiro build vids to come back.
if you set de high current very high and very short you'll get even more color with the pulse setting
Should do intercooler piping in stainless too.... would look awesome
You'd need a sliding fence to get cuts that straight out of your band saw.
