Welding on cars
#1
Need to weld a hole in my exhaust.

CBA with removing it as I'm on my larry and the nut is going to just spin on the manifold fire ring bolts.

I was going to disconnect the battery before welding, but should i unplug the ECU or anything else? Will anything get fried?

Muchos Gracias

I usually unplug the ECU, but it's been left on a few times and not caused issue.

I just don't wanna risk it.

This was not nearly as interesting as I'd hoped. The title was very misleading. I had this great image of you running around the car welding all sorts of parts of it, not just the exhaust.

I like my version better.

Oh you havent seen the massive veiny penis that I've done in weld on the roof. Next is a 3d version on the bonnet, just like the jaguars on jaguars...

But on a serious note, thanks for the info guys Smile

I'm surprised you didn't fry your ECU and ruin your map. Oh wait, you don't need to worry about that Wink

I can actually confirm scott does have a 4ft long cannon sitting next to his computer that is used for banning.

Side exit = win exit

Surely its handier to just leave it running for all of 2 mins whilst you fix the exhaust? Saves the hassle of disconnecting the battery and then most importantly having to retune the radio again.

Bought a 90* & 45* bend & a tip , just tack welded and adjusted as needed untill i was where i wanted to be then a full weld when i was happy

Id keep it an inch lower though to avoid knocking on the bumper mount when cold
