Got the exhaust from the turbo to the cab done.
Ended up doing half of the job with a bad bottle of argon. I was getting alot of color and was frustrated thinking i was just doing something wrong. Sure enough... changed the bottle... and I didnt suck anymore. Jeeeshhh.
Welp the exhaust is going to be cerakoted anyway so whatever. Just hoping i dont have too many cracking issues. If I do... Ill redo it in a more robust wall thickness for the first couple feet.
Next up is making my intake tube from the inter cooler to the throttle body.

How many of you guys are running cats on your build? I just got wrapped up with welding up a set of midpipes with 100 Cell metallic cats.
I installed cats mainly because I need to pass inspection, but also because I hated smelling gas anytime I drove the truck.
Im not worried about the power... i should have plenty to break almost everything in my driveline lol.
I place the cats a good way back in the exhaust to try to keep them alive.
Who's melted their cats? What power level did they fail at? How far were they from the motor?
04-10-2021 #163Mid pipe is in. Shes tucked in there pretty nice. Im happy with it.
I almost currently going back and fixing up the weld on the hot side that were contaminated by the bad weld gas. I ground the welds flushed with a 120 Flap disc, then 320 grit DA, then a 4.5" scotchbrite, then a wool polish pad with black polishing compound. It brought the pipes up to full luster. Then i clean the piss out of the and started to cap the previous weld. LOOKS WAY BETTER. Now i just have to do it to all of it... lol
Next up im finishing the Carbon Fiber intercooler to intake tube.
Then im gonna take with dual 3" mid pipe and merge to a 5" collector. Then it will be a 5" single out the side of the bed.
