I haven't shopped around on these yet since I don't need it right away, but that doesn't seem unreasonable for an OE one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I bought the blocking plates for OBD2 manifolds from Hard Motorsports recently. Quality was good and shipping was fast. You can't have my manifolds though. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rekpoint Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 I am going to be buying an m3 midpipe that comes with stock headers.If you are interested I can sell you the headers.

This wouldn't be a problem but I don't have the capability to weld stainless at the moment. I'm thinking I can make the OBD2 manifolds work much easier, and then some time in the future I can modify the shorty's to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mig that can be set up for gas (just need to buy a tank). I've never made an exhaust before, so I'd like to give it a go in mild steel instead of screwing up a bunch of nicer stainless parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc43089 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 You might need a different gas mix for stainless MIG, not sure. I have had no problem welding stainless stuff together with regular wire and 75/25 gas but the welds will rust. The weld itself looks fine and doesn't have any strength issues from what I can tell. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think you need Tri-mix (Argon Helium Carbon Dioxide) Paging @Bassboy3313 m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 You have to buy a certain stainless wire that will work with standard 75/25 gas. When I get home I will look at the stainless spool I have and let you know the number. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
