I want to do this to both cars, but first I'd like to try the 760 and some less-expensive exhaust piping (2 1/2 I think)
So I have a fine downpipe, and front section of the exhaust. But somewhere the exhaust just sucks. It has some sort of volvo s70 section with the chrome tip, but it is so low to the ground that it drags pretty bad over speed bumps and stuff.
My parents were having some sort of artistocratic party tonight and my dad told me one of the guys there used to weld for the navy. I presented him with my problem (the 242 lacks exhaust) and he said he wouldn't recommend me try to weld an exhaust without some sort of training. He then suggested brazing. Now, I know brazing is sorta like a mans version of soldering, but is it possible? Does my exhaust (the pipes) get too hot for a braze?
I'd really like to initially try this on the 760. He said brazing wasn't as strong as welding, but he said it would be plenty-strong for an exhaust.
Possible? No?
