Screw welding get some slip.band clamps they work great and if it ever needs to come apart easy.
yup.. that's whats on it and it's leaking like a *****.. i love those clamps but where the head pipes go into the mufflers leak with them (for me) so i just weld that joint. I do the rest with bands though cause i can take my exhaust off in 20 mins if i need to I alway figure guys that do a full welded exhaust never work on their own car.Screw welding get some slip.band clamps they work great and if it ever needs to come apart easy.

I bought them with the tri-y headers. Really like them they are 2.5 only I think. I used to tack weld nuts on the collector plate helped.damn i didn't even know bout those...i HATE dealing with the 3 bolt normal header>pipe connection... it always feels like i'm juggling **** and drop the nuts 5 times...
yeah my headers only have a 2.5" outlet that then goes to 3" went too big but figured if i ever make a bigger motor i'm all setI bought them with the tri-y headers. Really like them they are 2.5 only I think
Fired mine up yesterday. Man I need some sort of ceiling in there, prob after the cuda is gone, no room to do it in there now. Just want that two faced bubble type insulation on there should do what I want and easy to staple up.

18' ceilings? you fancy bastard... mine are like 9'.. when when you insulted the ceiling it will hold heat better.. and maybe a ceiling fan to push hot air downWalls are done with r 22 and osb over it. The ceiling rafters are 4' apart so easy to do them. Just 18 feet up so I will borrow Matts JLG to do it. Makes life easy.
yeah, my garage is 2 cars deep which i love but normal other than that.. I have never been comfortable under a lift (grew up working in a gravel driveway) dunno why.. a buddy has a lift in his garage he hasn't used in 15 years now..At the time pole barns were cheap 48x48 ome tall 12 wide door and a normal car door. 18 K at the time with cement. Wanted to put in tubing for radiant heat but deployed out of no where right before I was going to do it. Regret that for sure.
doesn't sound like the worst day (cept the BIL)Then there was lift day with no lift, Rays BIL died so he could not deliver it. Definately a beer fest, half keg of fat tire, Had a homebrew guy stop by he brought a crapload of growlers with him all high test then @ben Drinking breaks out a bottle of Pecan Whiskey! I tink........ Really the first time alot of us met actually.
I am uncomfortable under a 2 post, 4 post is by far superior. Takes up a lot of space though.
