Can ne1 help me weld on some tips....I'm broke!!

I'll buy you a lunch from Wendy's or Subway or whatever and take you in a ride in the world's fatest '91 Trans Am. You guys ever rode in a 3rd gen before. Kidding!

Anyway, most places charge $20 per weld and won't line them up correctly. I don't have $40 to blow at least not for a couple more weeks, but I need something to do to this car other than radiator flushes and washing it's horrible paint . Is anyone on here a welder or have access to one in the East Valley? I'm at Alma School and Baseline. I just got my Z28 4th gen exhaust tips that were supposed to be clamp on, but they won't fit the muffler pipes, same diameter. Please let me know. I really appreciate it.

Thanks, Kevin

Not yet, I can't wait that's fer sure. However, I have to cut 3-4" of the stock pipe first. I don't have any leverage with the hacksaw, so I might just be going to a shop anyway. But I will post pics of course.

give me a heads up on what you want to do. It's not polite to leave people hanging.

I don't mean to leave you hanging at all. I just can't figure out how to cut these pipes back w/o going to a shop that's all. Can you cut the pipes with your welder? After I called you on Sunday night, I forgot that little step. Let me know.

That's what cats look like without their tail cut off. I only have to remember what they look like 1 day a year.

A sawsall is more than enough to cut the exhaust. You could even use a jigsaw with a large blade, or a cutting wheel. The last time I had to cut exhaust was when I first bought my car and the previous owner welded the "Big Wazoo" tips from Jegs (4" diameter) onto the exhaust. I cut those off with my little dremel. Took over an hour.

And this is a lesson in why you should always buy the right tools.

Is the smaller tubing going into the cats for the AIR system? How did you make that work, did you have to modify your computer?

Yes, that's stock. I just put on some Swagelock fittings and some spare titanium tubing to make it removable.
