Watching you build this exhaust system I wasn't sure if it was going to work but hey! It came out nice. Like the old expression goes, 'if it works, is it really a bad idea?'.....Good video, Thanks!
Yeah, I was pretty happy with it being my first attempt at a custom exhaust. I appreciated the good feedback, that gives me an excuse to make more vidyas! (You have been warned.)
I learned on an acetylene torch, and can weld pretty good with gas. But arc welding is self taught, and not very good. I am getting somewhat better, however. Just not good enough for an exhaust system.
Just in time! I've got my DRZ400S up for sale now. 😁 Nice job Mike! Great skills and patience. What was the cause of the 'no spark' issue? I was a little surprised at how this twin sounds a lot like my thumper DRZ.
No spark was due to my own error. That system uses a single coil to fire both spark plugs in tandem. If one or the other plug is disconnected, it opens the circuit so the other one cannot fire. In other words, I left one of the spark plug wires off!
A great project ✨👍 and the ole saying " you will never know until you give it a go " ring's bells when viewing your creative blogs.
Indeed! Gotta try new things every now and then. This time it actually worked out.

welding is something ive never done. I need to try it soon.

@@2coolwheels139 I need to learn mig to patch stuff
@@jeffreyrigged That would be a great skill to have. I might look into some local occupational centers for welding classes myself.
@@2coolwheels139 I'm just going to teach myself. We don't really have anything I could take and work as well.
