I never get invited to the neighbor's pool party.

So I went over there one night.

Image

And came home with some souvenirs.

I decided to cut it up.

And make some fancy intersections

Image

Then weld it up.

It was ugly on the inside so I ground it down.

Image

And then I hid it under my car so the neighbors wouldn't see.

I even talked a raccoon into standing guard....lazy sonofabitch

But I still had some railings left over.

Image

So I chopped those up as well, welded it all up, and now it's going to hide under my car forever.

Autocorrect can suck a pickle.

I have no intelligent response or worthwhile input.

Really? REALLY? Twice?

Autocorrect is now officially fawking stupid.

Really!

Going for it a third time. I really enjoyed that story, thanks for sharing. Pretty creative!

Stainless? That is going to be incredibly loud if my homemade system is any reference.

Yeah, it's polished 304, 1.9" OD, 18 gauge. The ends have little 2" sleeves so I can slip fit my "mufflers". Loud is good, especially on Lower Wacker.

Wait. So I can't figure out if you're 4 srs, or not.

It's genius either way.

Hmmm. Very interesting. We remodeled our pool last year and did away with all the metal railings and ladders. They've just been hanging out in my storage unit ever since...

SRSLY it's made out of pool railings. The only thing I did not make were the SST 1 3/4" down pipes which were made by Nameless Performance, though it was a one off thing and they're not making them anymore unless you can convince them through a group buy. That said, those guys really made a great product.

I really, really, really enjoyed this thread. I thought it was really funny when all you had posted was the OP, but as the pictures were added, it tied together nicely.

Have you ask though, what does that weigh?

Nice job on the X-pipe!

I should have said that I'm familiar with the function of the chamber for scavenging. Why I asked about your choice to include it in your design is because I've not seen h or x pipes used in most e28 exhaust applications. Am I wrong in this assumption?

Because that usually happens in the catalytic converter and/or center muffler, neither of which exist here.
