Two into one collector I fabbed!!!!! w/pics!

Here's the rough pattern I made from a manila folder and a pair of scissors. I copied the pattern after I cut the pattern down to what I thought it should look like and then transfered the pattern with a Sharpee tracing the outline of the manila folder to the each pipe. As you will see in the next two pics, it came out pretty close. I only had one shot at this.....It was all the pipe I had left.



This is the rough cut put together, I will grind them to make a better fit! They came out close.






After grinding them for a smooth fit.....I taped them with 33 electrical tape to tack them together to fit the rest of the collector.




Here I am welding the tacs on the collector.



I am happy with the results.



Collector ready to be welded completely and the final look of it.....total time 45 minutes!

I had to cut the HD muffler. Too long, it stuck out past the wideside by about 6" or so. I cut 7" out of the middle of the muffler and will gut it from the inside and weld it back together. Looks good shorter too........
