Hey, I put in a BC shock hoop, now I gotta reroute
my exhaust.The mufflers are almost right up against
the shocks! The ? is, is it difficult to weld this pipe?
or would I be better off takin' it to the muffler shop?
I'm an amateur welder,but will try it!
Thanks,
Dan ?:?

I'd give it a shot. I welded mine back together with my MIG. Be sure and don't weld to hot or you'll hole it. I put it together and tacked it at the bottom where I could get to it. Then I started at the top and worked my way down one side. I then worked my way down the other . Wasn't real pretty, but it worked great. I say go for it.

I'm all for trying new things but it won't cost that much to has a shop fix it. Then you know you won't have an exhaust leak or anthing. It shouldn't take them even an hours laber depending on what needs to be done to move the exhaust.
