Everything he said. Welds are absolutely beautiful. Definitely something to be proud in. Very proud.

Can I ask what you are going to school for?

Jim's going for his business degree (completes this fall) then onto Mech. Engineering degree. I'm Jim's dad and also very proud of him! Ive have been gear heads my whole life and Jim has taken it to another level. Jim's welding and fab. skills are off the chart!!!

Beautiful! It's great seeing people take pride in their work. So many people out there just slap shit together!

Even more impressive considering you did it so fast all while in school.Congrats man!


Nice job on the tune Sai!

You need to stop playing games and get the silly supercharger idea out of your head. You need a turbo setup! ;-)

Very nice work!
Not sure if anyone else had used pre fab pieces from
http://www.coneeng.com
Or not. I have on a couple of header sets and many motorcycle and atv exhaust custom fabs.

Hells yes. Those are the collectors we use. They're not swedged from round tube. The welding lip is a consistent thickness making it easier to look nice when welding them.

I am sure you can ask Jim to give you a ride in his car again to remind you that you are making the wrong choice LOL!
