Fabricating exhaust parts is not something that you will always need to do but when you do need to, it's good to have the right tools and know how. In this video I fabricate the 'A' pipe on my 1993 Acura Vigor. The OE part is no longer available and if it was it would be VERY expensive. I could not find the part in the aftermarket either. That meant that I had to make my own pipe. Through a combination of cutting, grinding, heating, and welding, I was able to make it happen. It may not be pretty, but at least it's quiet. With a little more practice with my welder I think I'll have this. No matter what, I hope the information in this video can help you if you're confronted with a similar situation. If not, I hope you're entertained by the video as you watch me learn how to weld exhaust pipes. nnCamera: Brian KastnnThe best place for answers to your automotive questions: http://www.ericthecarguy.comnnRelated videos. nnHow To Find Exhaust Leaks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYVjkyLdID4nnHow To Diagnose Exhaust Restrictions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-jp1IIJVVknnHow To Fix Exhaust Rattles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tzQclY43IAnnHow To Use a Torch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPlndTrPK6AnnLongevity Welder/Plasma Cutter Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n2CzzF0aAEnnTools.nnWelder: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/longevity-migweld-140-140-amp-mig-welder-capable-of-flux-core-and-aluminum-gas-shielded-welding-110v/#oid=1002_1nnPlasma Cutter: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/longevity-forcecut-40d-40amp-pilot-arc-plasma-cutter-dual-voltage/#oid=1002_1nnGrinder: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/makita-9557pbx1-4-1-2-angle-grinder/#oid=1002_1nnAngle Die Grinder: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/ingersoll-rand-301b2mk-air-angle-die-grinder-2-kit/#oid=1002_1nnSawzall without a chord: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/milwaukee-2620-21-sawzall-recip-kit-with-battery-m18/#oid=1002_1nnSawzall with a chord: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/milwaukee-6509-31-sawzall-recip-saw-kit-with-case/#oid=1002_1nnAir Hammer: http://www.jbtoolsales.com/titan-tools-19709-air-hammer/#oid=1002_1nnFor other tools and deals check out the Tools page at EricTheCarGuy.com: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/toolsnnAutomotive help articles.nnEngine overheatnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/what-to-do-when-your-engine-overheatsnnNo start problemsnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-automotive-no-start-problemsnnIdle issuesnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-automotive-idle-problemsnnPerformance issuesnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-automotive-performance-issuesnnDiagnosing Noisesnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/diagnosing-noises-in-your-carnnDiagnosing Vibrationsnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/determining-the-causes-of-vehicle-vibrationsnnElectrical Problemsnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-automotive-electrical-problemsnnBrake Issuesnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-brake-problemsnnTransmission issuesnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-transmission-problemsnnHVAC problemsnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/solving-automotive-hvac-problemsnnBuying a Used Carnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/what-to-look-for-in-a-used-car-purchasennLeaksnnhttp://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/finding-and-fixing-leaksnnMPGnnhttp://ericthecarguy.com/faq/finding-and-fixing-the-causes-of-poor-mpgnnDiscussion about this Video: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/kunena/18-The-EricTheCarGuy-Video-Forum/52009-fabricating-exhaust-parts#102398nnThe best place for answers to your automotive questions: http://www.ericthecarguy.comnnETCG FAQ Page: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/faqnnEricTheCarGuy code lookup: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/obd-code-lookupnnFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/EricTheCarGuy?fref=tsnnTwitter: https://twitter.com/EricTheCarGuynnGoogle+: https://plus.google.com/100195180196698058780/postsnnInformation on Premium Membership: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/premium-content-streaming-etcg-contentnnStay DirtynnETCGnnDue to factors beyond the control of EricTheCarGuy, it cannot guarantee against unauthorized modifications of this information, or improper use of this information.
