Beginner's Guide to Building a Custom Exhaust

    In todays video we are putting together a custom exhaust for my V8, LS swapped Honda Accord. The V8 Honda already had an exhaust, but I wanted to redo it and create this video to help you build an exhaust by yourself. I hope you can take the information from this video, the little tools you have, and some skills, to build your own custom exhaust for any car! I am building the exhaust with just a welder and a grinder. NO LIFT! I also go into detail on how to cut and welder two pipes together to create a Y pipe. Let me know if you have any questions and thank you for watching!

    if you wrap a large zip tie around any pipe, straight or curved.. and mark it with a sharpy.. you can cut nice clean straight lines around the pipe

    Looks good for a diy project. It’s good that you don’t have anything in the way from pulling it all in one piece other wise I would say you should have put a flange on it. I used to paint the welds with silver paint to keep them from rusting . Good work 👍🏻🤙🏻
