Still nice job. I'm betting that pipe is helping that saw a good bit more then a box muffler. I really want one for my jonny 630 seeing you put them on a stock saw tells me a pit bike pipe would rock on a modded one.

How hoed would it be to weld the pipes with a mig welder. I weld sheet metal all the time so I figured I would try.
I used a might with Flux core wire. If I would have had my friends gas bottle here I would have used smaller wire. Flux core is messy and gets lots of spatter that likes to find its way to my tungsten wedding ring

Very good. I think I'd be a bit nervous doing that hydro forming. It be my luck to have sheet metal shrapnel in my face. I bet just about any pipe will help out a motor better then a box.

The thing about hydro vs air water or oil can't compress so when a leak does happen it's just a spray of fluids. If you pump 1 gallon of water I to a container that's all that it will hold. Air can compress and keep building until something let's loose and that's when **** hits the fan. So using a liquid youl be perfectly fine without a blast shield

Right on I like it. I wonder how much psi from a pressure washer it would take? Also I'd then have to weld on a stinger and manifold. I'm betting it would have to pretty dam thin for it to work well.
