DIY Exhaust! - Is it Worth It?

Publicado 2021-09-15
Soooo yes we've done a few episodes on exhausts in the past, BUT today we graduate from buying a full exhaust to buying raw materials so we can make our own! Having a loud exhaust is not only rad but it helps the driver with shifting times. And we are 100% into being the best rally drivers in the world so that means we need to make the e36 the best it can be. As our homegirl J.Lo said "let's get loud people." (Jobe hates this joke but I still kept it ... haha). Go watch the vid!
We have a new(ish) channel!

How loud is your skid plate? lol
-
never thought i’d get to see 20 minutes of Zach laying pipe, what a day!
-
Whoever picked the music for this episode, you deserve a raise.
-
I STRONGLY encourage you guys to come to Vegas for a TIG welding class. I'll totally hook you up 👍
-
This episode as a whole might be one of Donut’s best ones shot. Editing, Music, Zach, Topic, the whole thing. 10/10
-
Can we appreciate how much these guys work to film, work on the car, edit, brainstorm the next big idea, and do it all over again. Mad respect
-
I love watching Garage Jesus. This guy is so relaxing to watch.
-
"So we're just gonna go with straight pipes" Everyone liked that
-
As a welder fabricator, I'd love to see a follow up on how the exhaust holds up over time, instead of back purging too you can use solar flux next time for when you don't want to use the extra argon, the welds become more brittle when you don't back purge too it's not just about the aesthetic and its tendency for rusting quicker, it's worth doing at least a backing plate or something, love what you guys are doing! Killing it for how fresh you guys are, keep at it :)
-
Its cool when you can actually say to yourself "wow i can do that", being a welder and not a mechanic personally
-
i know its unlikely, but i'd love to see this participate in an actual rally event
-
I feel like Zach is the embodiment of the saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” Keeps me motivated
-
I like when someone is honest about if something might be difficult. Most people say "it's real easy" about everything when some things might not be. Your honesty helps
-
Man that skid plate looks an awful lot like a brand new exhaust
-
Be careful using brake clean, chlorinated produces a deadly gas when welding. I use acetone personally 👍🏼
-
Found Zach on a random YouTube algo a few months ago when I had my interest piqued in working on my car...had already done Stage 1 on it but was hmming and haahing about going stage 2 doing all the work myself. This man inspired me to start thinking beyond the bare minimums of what I would need to make it more successful and reliable, and now I'm going to drop a turbo into the car after putting in all the little things to prep the car for that. Keep crushing it Zach and Donut Media! Loving your guys' content, especially Moneypit and HILow!

I welded up a couple full-length 3" pipes, one for our CHUMP car and one for my E36 ti track car. There is really nothing like the sound of an uncorked BMW i6. I'll never forget the first time I ran it up. WOW I had no idea it could sound that cool. BUT it also made a HUGE difference over the stock exhaust of the M52b28 with S52 cams. Thanks for this one, it was fun to relive it a bit.

Should’ve mentioned that cleaning your parts with brake parts cleaner can be extremely dangerous. If your brake cleaner contains tetrachloroethylene, you can expose yourself to an extremely poisonous gas when welding. A lot of the “50 state” brake parts cleaner no longer contains this chemical, they use acetone instead. But always check, and it’s honestly safer to use acetone by itself.
-
That 8° bend trick is golden. Thank you Zach!
-
One tip for your welding, use 1/32 filler rod so you don't have to get it so hot and you will be amazed how much better it looks and how much easier it is to control!
