[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 653457, member: 1641"] The exhaust is roughed in, just lack finish welding from the y-pipe back and adding a couple v-bands from the trans back. I quickly remembered why I hate mig welding aluminized steel. The passenger side of the 'y' I mig'd, and even though the entire exhaust will be wrapped, I ground it down smooth. The drivers side I tig'd, much easier, a little slower, but zero grinding. The remainder will be tig'd- only 30 joints to finish.... I bought a large mandrel bend kit, but honestly using pie cuts went much faster because it allowed much more manipulation of the radii' and angles...and there are some wacky angles. Certainly the pie cuts take longer in the welding job, but I do love welding. Unless someone can steer me away, I'm going to solid mount (but removable) the exhaust from the engine skid back. The entirety of exhaust flex will occur from the motor mounts to the flex joint and rubber hanger. Worked fine on the buggy. Exhaust photo dump...my apologies if I've duplicated a previous pic from above.
