Here is a picture of what I started with. A very old Kerker with lots of holes, and muffler putty. Lots of nasty muffler putty.
This is what they looked like when I removed the putty. A coworker told me to just lop off the pipes at the bends and turn it into a rat bike. Naaaah
I didn't like the muffler hanging from from the rear shock. Pretty hoaky, so I decided to shorten the pipe when I replaced it.
Moch up of the muffler on the bike, center stand clears
. Although when the project is done the center stand will get ditched.
Once again my 110v self shielding mig was still to much heat for the old pipe. I should have miged it at work with gas, but it is done. I cut pieces from some 1.5" mandrel pipe I had left over from turbo charging my Miata. The sectioned them into the header and gas welded them in. No leaks
Since I don't want to show off my awesome welding skills and make every once jealous I decide to wrap them in header wrap. (my skills are on par with a three year old and a stick welder)
Out of pocket $40 for header wrap, and $8 for new Vesrah gaskets.
