    just had my exhaust re-routed for my skids and was wondering if yall thought they took the pipe a little close to the transmission before they bent it across. i have about an inch between them. is it a big deal? maybe wrap it in some exhaust tape?

    sweet. i was a little concerned when they told me they were just going to T it into the existing pipe rather than using a Y-pipe... im glad i was standing there watching them to tell them i wanted a Y-pipe

    i wouldnt do any wrapping... shit traps in moisture and causes rust.

    If you are worried a lil heat shield goes along way. But that should be plenty of room especially that far back in the exhaust system.

    I dont know much about welding but i think he jusy used a TIG welder. (Isnt that the one that doesnt use gas?) the one where the cable comes out of the little gun looking thing.

    Do you mean flux? Flux doesn't use gas and produces butthole looking welds.

    Argon isn't strictly for tig welding.
