Nothing is wrong with it, I just think it would be interesting if they were the same piece. It would also mean all pullies/tensioners would swap directly. I'm a little jealous of your idlers if you know what I mean

nothing wrong with welding it in a series of tacks. its hard to tell from the pics, but it looks built up. maybe try a little more heat for the rest of the exhaust.

all this hard work of keeping everything cleaner then a new truck from the dealer just to realize you downgraded going from turbo to supercharger and that you hate it....

j/k man looks badass, really interested in how you will compare the change
