Default Home made X-pipe

Finally decided on a permanent route for the exhaust. The X fits nicely there, though a few inches forward would've helped due to the hanger. Oh well

Thanks alot guys. Yeah I put in a ball flange and there will be a band clamp just downstream for removal.

It's just the only way I could build a custom mandrel bent exhaust myself was to get the bends and weld em all together with sleeves. I had the guy across the road expand out my x-pipe ends but I wasn't about to run over there for every pipe.

And I bought a pipe expander and broke it twice already. POS That's what I get for buying cheap tools

BTW, I wouldn't suggest making your own X-pipe. It was a huge time eater.

Pretty slick man. Where do the pipes go after that?
