Worst downpipe award?
We all know there's recognition on the .org for pristine downpipes, but have we an award for the worst downpipe?
I think I have a contender  ....

Re: Worst downpipe award?
My mig welder had run out of gas and it was boxing day so machine mart was shut, I gave up on it after I'd caused chaos then bought some gas yesterday and tried to resurrect it - resulting in that mish mash. It feels strong but I've had to shine a torch down it in the dark to see if there's anygaps, there don't appear to be any. Just got to file down the inside now because welds have built on the inside obstructing the flow of the gases.
King of the bodges....

Re: Worst downpipe award?
I told you to cover your eyes!
 I tried but there weren't any on the bay, so resorted to cutting and shutting. Anyone got a few inches of exhaust wrap kicking about?

My akra is a right state, has been cleaned about twice in the last year or so and was last polished about 3 years ago
