[CHIQLES]

[CHIQLES]

Can the flange be cut of and weld v band to the downpipe or is it not worth welding on cast iron

 

[CHIQLES]

I wish I new. I dont see why not though.Im in process of ordering a longer flex pipe. Im getting some extra vibration from the exhaust, its a little to stiff. Right now i have a 4" flex im putting in a 8". Its notbad im just trying to relieve any extra stress im putting on the mani and pipes.

is it cast iron Chiqles? If so,

The problem you run into when welding high carbon (particularly cast iron) to stainless steel, is carbon migration. The chromium in the stainless and carbon in the steel have a very high affinity for each other at elevated temperatures. What will happen is the carbon and chromium will combine to form chromium carbide. This is a very hard, brittle material that will also rust. Essentially you’ve taken the very component in the stainless steel that prevent corrosion and entrapped it in this new material. What you will get is a weld zone that not only can look bad overtime if not painted or protected from the atmosphere, but also has a high possibility to crack and fail due to its brittleness.

thank you sir ...there you go fuad you cant or not recommended. You are a cleverfrog lol

 

[Cleverfrog]

If you use a rod with a high Ni content and preheat and it would work better. No reason to weld SS to iron here though IMO

what about cutting of the three bolt flange and rewelding it in the angle or position required.... can cast iron be weld to cast iron

It's very difficult and complicated but, yes it's possible.

I'm gonna take the downpipe to the best fabricators in San Diego Might just fix the angle in the downpipe

 

[CHIQLES]

if you try to rotate the angle the down pipe wont fit.

Might as well just build one from 2.5" Tube then...

I'd have to agree with Brian on this one. If you're actually taking it to the "best fabricators in San Diego" you might as well start from scratch and have them FABRICATE one for you. If, however, you were doing this in your driveway and running down the street to the closest exhaust shop, go the Chiqles route.

 

[fuadmsp]

i will draw something up to explain i cant draw well but good enough and most shops quoted me 400 plus i like the divorced design

 

[CHIQLES]

are you talking about the bottom flange?

 

[fuadmsp]

yea the 3 three bolt

 

[CHIQLES]

if you cut it high enough you could mate it with a 3 inch maybe or you could gut it out also maybe I dont know if it would effect the integrity. to much

 

[Maxx Mazda]

You're still trying to make this stupid thing work?

 

[destineal]

Maxx Maxx, why so harsh? It works for Chiqiles, but fuad is possibly taking it too far. Who are we to judge?
