Welding Experts - Is this possible?

[JamesArup]

Hi all,

 

This is something that I have wanted to do for almost 2 years now, and I think I have FINALLY found the pipe to do it with

 

My HKS Hiper has a silencer about halfway down that I want to remove. I have seen other models of Hiper (I think the newer ones) that don't have this silencer, and they sound great. The other reason is that this hangs down a bit lower than the rest of the system and it is ALWAYS hitting speed bumps, dips etc etc. It's only a matter of time before it hits something badly and takes most of the system with it!

 

What I want to know is if this even looks possible (ie. can someone with welding experience see if this is possible). The silencer itself is probably just over a foot long. The biggest problem that I can see is that the pipe going in is on a slightly different level to the pipe coming out of the silencer. I have attached a couple of pics showing the silencer, and the pipe that I have to bypass it with .. can anyone tell me if this is possible?

 

Cheers, James

Yeah no problem. I've done it on my grey car.

Exxxcellent (Mr. Burns styleeee). That's exactly what I needed to hear!

 

Who's good at this sort of thing then? Need to go down to Paul K sometime soon for an outstanding 'shiny bit', and I know he has welding capability there, so I guess I can just get it done whilst it's there?

 

Cheers, J
