How to Build your own Custom Exhaust - The EASY DIY Way

That's good work.. I'd be happy with welds like that

muffler ? LOL
Cat ? LOL
Deleted 🤣the one thing NY has right on older verhicles

Dam you boys deffinetly amatures .

Also can dial up a bit hotter and straight line weld it. Just need to move faster on it. I dont pattern any welds these days when doing this type of work with wire feed. Hot flat welds and let it sizzle.

Nice you can now match the aluminized finish.

Nice upload Eastwood, you guys' knowledge and experience is very much appreciated.
Keep informing the people...

Just ordered my pipe cutter from Eastwood yesterday ......Im a do diy exhaust guy and this new cutting tool is goin to up my game so much ....cant wait to get it and try it out....Thanx Eastwood.

why only run the exhaust past the cab and not all the way back? Any advantages or just cost saving?

Where is the High Temp Matte Black for exhaust paint located on your site?

just wanted to see how someone made the over the axle piece ? Not a bunch of useless crap......

Me watching this after a long night of making a custom exhaust for my car

It seems in my mind that the slip fits would be the other way. Im guessing that the male end pointing towards the flow source is not a turbulence problem? It's not a back pressure problem. Just a guy whos never done it thinking out loud. 😆

I wanted to see you fab over an axle, you know like in a typical installation

The butt clamp is still for sale?

In case a slio fit is not available, is it ok to do an inner sleeve with a piece of tube with the outer diameter the same as the inner diameter of the exhaust pipe? Or will that create turbulence inside the pioe and be bad? Thanks to anyone who replies!

How is it DIY to use pre-bent pipes? Oh! Order an expensive kit and hope the right things arrive.

I don't pay alot for the exhaust parts, unlike the expensive pre-made Magnaflow direct fit exhaust system, with everything on it.

I look at my existing exhaust layout, then get junk yard exhaust tubings, straights, elbows, flex pipe, flanges, hangers, resonator, muffler, etc. I got the larger sizes, instead of 1.75 inch, I got the 2.25 inch, then assemble it myself.

Instead of paying $1000 canadian dollars before taxes, I got it done myself for drastically less dollars.

I also get the mandrel bent elbows, magnaflow and borla mufflers, and nice chrome tips.

The non mandrel bends are either crushed or wrinkled, while the mandrel bends are smoothly bent.

I am going to use the Impala's dual exhaust axle back on the Uplander, with resonators in place where the Impala had its mufflers, since the van has its muffler, in the middle floor pan area, then add the Magnaflow muffler, and chrome tips at the end, coming up in the spring of 2025.

But why weld stainless pipes with carbon steel?
