Job weld wont hold up, too hot there at the header.

Well that sucks

Yeah tell me about it, tried it on one of my first muffler mods on a saw. Lasted all of 5 minuets and stank like crazy.

The metal on this pipe is so thin in that area I don’t think it’s even worth welding. Better to put it aside buy a new pipe grab a header down the road for it. Heck I think I had it for a good 8 years now that’s not to bad.

Me, personally, I'd weld it. Either the tig (which I'm not great with) or spot it together with the mig. From an age stand point yeah that's not bad life from such thing material.

Well I emailed DDM on the header they say they can get it for me. It will just be about 3 weeks when they place there next Fg order. So think I will order a few little things for her since she doesn’t need much. Some Outwears cover pull start and crank case and small alloy engine mount.

 

[DougStar]

3 weeks is not too long

 

[blackrain]

After watching crucial video and a few others finally got a chance to try this stuff. This stuff is ausmn

 

[blackrain]

Put her back together with new adapters and put my baja wheels on here. Now just need to get this pipe situation settled after I finish the vekta

No it won't

 

[Striikar]

Can you post a pic,I have a few headers but don't know what you need.

 

[blackrain]

It's the shape plus the flange at the end

 

[Striikar]

Unfortunately I see none like that, it was worth a shot.
Ill keep a look out for you.

Thanks for trying, I need to reach back out to Ddm and also see if I can get someone local to weld it

 

[Striikar]

I've seen it. I asked about videos specific to the baja because I want to get some ideas on wire routing and where to cut the receiver box, so yes, it does have to be a baja, but thanks anyway.

Its definitely going to be cheaper having it welded.
The cost of FG parts have gone even more insane.

I know you guys said jb weld won't hold up but I'm dying to run my fg. Ddm said 2 more weeks till they place a order. Found this new jb weld high heat up to 1200 degree. Thought I give it a try until I get my new header.

 

[Z.hb71]

I think 1200 degrees might work although I have no idea how hot a header gets to.

 

[DougStar]

Not being rude but good luck with that

Hay if I can get at least a few runs out of it until I get a new header will be great.

 

[MonsterAir]

But what if it cracks apart and get's into the engine? Just keep an eye on it.
