Good job, man! And welcome back.
Thanks guys! Definitely not worth it lol. Should have either stuck with eBay headers and bolted on the Borla, or bought the full Schmiedmann exhaust. I didn't do the latter because I read some reports that the midpipes would need to be cut/welded/extended to fit around the 6spd tranny and I wanted to avoid that headache...and here we are.
The goal was to keep the project as simple as possible, so when welding became unavoidable I got a cheap little stick welder on Amazon, thinking that it offered the best mix between the startup cost and flexibility for future projects. I was also able to weld stainless filler with it, which I don't know that you can properly do with mig, and obviously wasn't about to pony up for tig.
I'll try to grab a pic of the bay the next time I see the car. After the move, I signed the title over to my father and parked it at his house. We do have a larger garage but still no room for it at the new spot and the wife is adamant that it's not returning due to the absurd amount of time I poured into this thing over the years, with the cherry on top being this massive project when I should have been prepping to move.
@slater knows the situation very well
This thread is alive, so is the pizza men!
Amazing work and dedication.
