[Shaun 4x4]

[threedogs]

That's robbery hold off till you suss something cheaper IMO
$160 for 5 mins work nah
EDIT:: it was a 4x4 shop the tig welded it up for him

[Shaun 4x4]

I know it is but I don't have another car and can't really drive it with a big hole in right in the engine bay.
Plus if I don't go to work Monday ill lose a lot more then $160

Shaun,

For another option, with a bit more work on your behalf, will it be cheaper to remove your dump pipe and take it to someone....

That was my first thought. But for some reason who ever had the exhaust put on the car has had the dump pipe welders to the exhaust system. So I would have to remove half my exhaust

I could pop over. I think travel would kill you but.. Lol

A hole in the exhaust for a week will do no harm. As a boilermaker for a small fiddely job you can expect 60 to 100 an hr plus consumables minimum 4 hr charge plus Saturday 1.5x rate and Sunday 2 x rate.

The dump pipe should start at the back of the Turbo, and finish just around the cross-member for the gearbox, and be easy to be unbolted.....

It won't hurt driving with a hole, as Macca pointed out, but it will sound strange, and if you are going to drive it, just put a metal shield in front of the stuff directly opposite the hole, and that will protect it from any heat damage.

$160 is cheap then...... I thought so to, as it always takes slightly longer than you think as everything is that little bit harder on the vehicle

I would have thought for $160 there abouts you could get your own little home level MIG welder. I would lend you mine but I doubt you will appreciate the freight costs.

In general I thought, wrongly it seems anyone wanting to do their own mods would at least have a welder or a gas system.

Old age showing through.
