Haha, I was looking at those earlier today. Who let those people operate a welder?
What's wrong with the muffler-turbo one? Was going on a Mustang, right? Wonder how it panned out.
a couple of those were for shits and giggles. The guy holding up the manifold with flex tubing runners and collector was Shearer Fab, makers of some of the finest looking headers/o2 housings/downpipes for the evo/dsm community. Did it out of boredom. And the TT mustang with the muffler for the carb collector actually worked out pretty well iirc (the muffler was gutted!)
its working pretty well Mr. thank you very much
i'm making shit tons of power... soo much power that from here on out... it's pronounced POWA!
fkn POWA!!!
I Can't believe that would lift a truck like that! Bird-shit welds ftl!
That actually looks pretty slick, looks like it's for a Mustang, too. I see nothing wrong with that, assuming the muffler is gutter and everything is router properly.
EDIT - Nevermind, this is the same setup that's in the above picture. Great idea, poor execution.
the turbo honduh doesn't count because they go was trying to go as fast as possible as cheaply as possible. the muffler plenom doesn't count because it could actually work perfectly fine. the turbo with the fins welded on doesn't count becuase the dude was screwing around with his junker while his uprade was in the mail. its also not uncommon for off-road guys to stick their filters in the cab so it doesn't suck up any water/mud(though, its hard to tell what the hell is going on in the pic of the 2 air filters). and, finally, the turbo muffler i believe that it actually worked(im pretty sure it did, cant remember. either way, atleast someone was expirimenting and not just bolting a K&N cone filter on the end of some RV sewage hose).
the only real fail that i see, is from the majority of the jalopnik staff, as well as 99% of the commentors who have never touched a welder in their life. though, there is some legit fab fail in there.

Heck - nothing a little grinding cant fix. What the heck was up with those lifts?
Looks like a white new edge in the pic
None of those people should be allowed to weld again. Not for the ideas, b/c everyone has stupid ideas, but for their welding ability. Or lack of, I should say.
WoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW
who got into my personal photobucket?
That Jeep sure does look like it would be a smooth ride...:bored:
