I love that the kid was involved and helm was used. but i would've recommended providing safety gloves as well. But that may just be me, I'd be a bit paranoid of sparks.
I have used a similar trick to your zip tie method- a hose clamp. I swear I learned it from Stacey David on Trucks years ago but I'm not sure. Anyway it's a pretty good way to mark a straight cut line on exhaust pipe or bends as long as it isn't a super tight bend.
Cool video! I’ll be doing a custom exhaust in my 66 mustang later this year and I’m looking for inspiration. I had a 73 Vega that I put a 4 bolt mains SB 350 in with a street cam, Holley 600 (vac secondaries), Weiand dual plane intake. Turbo 350 auto with a stage 2 B&M shift kit. It was an awesome car. I had standard cast iron exhaust manifolds. Those H Body specific headers and custom exhaust were well worth the effort. That sounds fantastic!
The only way to get good at something is by sucking at it for a while. Read some books and maybe take a class at a local community college to reduce the time spent sucking at it.
Awesome video dude. Very well put together, and the exhaust too 😉 Just to say with the blowtorch, the hottest part of the flame is just in front of the corona. The light blue cone you can see within the larger cone of flame. Just in front of that is supposed to be the hottest part of the flame 😉
The headers are smooth bore to increase hp, you can also take the intake manifold and smooth out the inside with various types of drilled hones. once smooth I've heard you can gain an extra 50 hp. Zip tie thing is a game changer, oh yeh...
The general wisdom is that you want the intake air to be turbulent so it keeps the fuel charge atomized. Lets be honest though, this is no racecar. I'm just happy it sounds nice.
Check out my other videos. I have a video on using an S10 blazer 7.5 rearend. Some Blazers come with 8.5 rearends. This will work for a street car. If you are going full drag, then you’re stuck with a 9”.
The DIY exhaust bends kit is from Summit. The rest was sourced from the average fly-by-night vendors on that jungle website. I have had trouble sourcing replacement parts for the clamps so any kind of list would be useless.
I was considering using glasspack mufflers for portions of turbo back exhaust system instead of just straight exhaust tubing. In hopes of a louder and unique exhaust sound. As turbochargers act as a pseudo muffler, decreasing exhaust volume. However, the largest diameter glasspack is around 4 inches. I had planned on expanding the exhaust tubing from the exhaust side of the turbo to 5 inches. As turbos like large exhaust diameter/exhaust flow. Has anyone ever done such a thing? I realize that this would be both expensive as well as uncommon. Thanks
I'm pretty displeased with Safelite. I had them come out to put a windshield in my wagon. When I turned on my a/c I got a face full of glass from the vents. When I was cleaning it up, I realized the tech had ripped my VIN tag off and used windshield sealant to glue it back on. He told me nothing about it and just dipped. There was so much glass and it got into my son's face and was all over my carpet and cloth seats. Very disappointing.
Sweet exhaust brother 👍🏻👌🏼
Another awesome video. I love when the kid is involved too!
That looks fantastic. The kid's welds look better than mine...
The boy welds better than I. Good job

You have a gift for teaching, thank you for sharing your skills.
Thank you!

Learned plenty of cool tricks, great job
Just got to say that angle finding method with the bolts is something I've never seen before. Absolutely awesome.
Thank you, feel free to steal it!
Great tips, nicely done!
Thanks for sharing your tricks with us I know you've been a god send for me! Thank you
💪💪💪 looking real good, love work and the turn out of the project
Love this series man. I am looking at a 74 4 speed wagon right now.
Oh yeeeah, sounds good too bro, good job and as always thanks, it’s good to have reference when building a classic with modifications
Great video looking to do my own exhaust system however I have no welding experience but I will give it a try

Great and clean job appreciations and thanks for sharing with us this video 👍🇩🇰🙏
Great work mate. Lots of good tips there!
Thanks a ton!

That looks professional. I’m actually impressed. And you gave me some new ideas on routing my exhaust pipes on my truck. Really awesome job
Glad I could help
Dude, gpod idea with the zip tie. Definitely gonna use that this weekend.
Did it work?
Great job, looks and sounds great.

Man!!!! Great video, great ideas for my future projects. And hell yeah teach them little!!! .. thanks for the free tutorial
Thanks for watching!
Nice work. im working on a 71 vega wagon myself with a 496 big block. I need some ideas for my header and rear end.

Thank you bro for the information 8.5 will work.
First time to your channel, hope your kid is a reoccurring character.
The kids are always reoccurring characters, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Awesome stuff 👏 👌 is their a kit or parts list anywhere for what all u used for this

Sounds great
Do you wanna touch it 😂 gd job teaching your kids early is the best I do the same with my kiddo. Good job with the video very helpful
Haha u wanna touch it?? 🤣🤣 had a flashback with my dad, left a mark tho
My dad would have let me touch it once too.
Love the vid but you did some of that the hard way. I am using the same headers but with side pipes. lol. I like the old school look.
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome

My sanderson headers were just delivered hoe bad are they? Any tips would be appreciated.
They were pretty straight forward. What I showed in the video was my actual experience.
Are those headers CC13. Thank you.
yes they are!
What would anybody use those 180’s for?
I think it is just to give a bunch of angle to cut what you need from.
Don't know y am scare to do my exhaust.. anyone use flex core to do exhaust?
No reason not to use flux core. Just take your time and clean up your weld area.
Where did you get those vbands?
That jungle website
@@BurnoutsAndRotorblades you mean that long river :-)
Awesome video man! Hey quick question. What’s the name of that song at 11:30 on this video?
I see a safelite glass cleaner, I work for them lol
I'm pretty displeased with Safelite. I had them come out to put a windshield in my wagon. When I turned on my a/c I got a face full of glass from the vents.

I would file a complaint brotha, that’s not the quality of work they should be doing.
Annoying music. Otherwise good info.
