A few of those scenes triggered suppressed memories of me vs. the family court industrial complex, only there was a lot more lube involved here.

I only started sitting down a few years ago from the mid 80's so I know your pain!!!

The format of this video reminds me of the "how it's made"television program, without all the chatter... Nice!

This was great! Learned a ton. I found myself saying "I could make a jig to do that if I needed to." Great inspiration!

4:43 - that homemade die is genius and so satisfying

Been awhile since I've heard a not-so-bad techno ditty. This reminds me of the tv program "How it's made"; I love seeing how things get manufactured - keep 'em coming!

Today I learned that exhaust tubing is shaped on a logsplitter with specialized dies.

Great stuff. You know, we can make those machines. They’re really simple (except for the bandsaw.). Even the hardening and tempering of the dies is simple.

All that was awesome, it pays to have the right tools

I personally don't mind more of these. I learned something and I was quit entertain. 👍👍

Amazingly simple but incredible none the less. I guess it's all about having the right tools. Thanks for bringing it to us.

It makes sense now, these guys were the kids back in the day that were trying to fit a square in a circle hole. Touche kid, you're now a fabricator.

If I had that equipment in the 80s, custom exhaust systems would have been much faster and easier to fabricate! Good to see the simplicity of the tools. 👍💪

Nothing cutting edge about the tools they used. They could have been simply fabricated in the 80's. What was missing was the thinking outside the box.

@@DodgyBrothersEngineering The availability of mandrel bent tubing in the 80's was virtually nill. I fabricated custom exhaust systems in the early 80's and even stainless steel tubing was unobtainable to the small shop because of "minimum quantity" requirements. Modern inverter TIG didn't exist and MIG wasn't that widespread. FluxCore was used in industry, I used it building offshore oilrigs in Freeport, TX but small, affordable rigs weren't available to the general public. There has been a boom in equipment availability at affordable prices over the past 40 years. I became an Industrial Design Engineer and really appreciated access to equipment I could only dream of years earlier! I was one of those "out of the box" thinkers thanks to my early years of hands-on problem solving before my degree. I agree with your basic premise but one can be limited by what is actually available at the time.

It's always awesome to watch the process of things being made that you buy already assembled

Already knew this information but fun to see in video form. I like the "how it's made" feel. Keep'em coming bro!

Amazing as always. I really.nerd out watching all the processes involved in making all the products that make our lives easier as fabricators, as well as improve the quality of our work 😁👍🏼

Very interesting... Could watch a lot more of this stuff.

awesome video, love seeing things being made, not just instruction on how to weld, love all your project videos!!

Cheers JDC for the walk around, Great video Justin.

Very nice, I love how its made videos. Also I was just watching Fireball Tools shop tour and he had a very similar bandsaw, neat.

Great video I always wondered how those were made. Thanks for sharing

Time fly seeing your videos...!!! Thanks.

Great video! It appears most of the skill was coming up with the process and special tooling. And the TIG welding.

Love that bandsaw!!!!

That were awesome! Thanks for the hints!

Good timing I'm going to be starting a header build this weekend so the more input the better

Love the video. I love the show how it works as well.

Could sit and watch that all day!!!

I like these sort of focused behind the scenes videos!

Fascinating insight mate cheers.

Me: Those look just like the collectors I get from JMD.... *checks description* I use these all the time for my custom headers

That was awesome... even showed me a different way to hold my tig torch... win win!!!!

Interesting video there's nothing like having the right tools for the job.👍

Love it, always wondered how they did that.

Very cool, always wondered how that was done. 👍🏻

This was awesome! Thank you!

Awesome. Very cool.

Seriously cool!

Enjoyed it mate.. cheers

That was great more please

I could watch this stuff all day, but work gets in the way

LOL, love the music.

Very cool!

Epic video! Thanks!

That was wicked kool

Amazing vídeo!

Just making me drool over all those tools.

Brilliant thanks buddy

That was awesome!

It was definitely good to see this. Thanks for the effort you put in, for us to watch. The only downside is could you imagine having to do this as a job Every day ???? Thanks again great channel.

They only showed how they made two into ones I used to build four into one merge collectors using 21° bends and a band saw cutting each one length wise one at a time it was a lot of fun

Awesome bro!

I used to work at an exhaust shop they had that same bender/expander/reduced tool pretty sweet gig tbh

amazing video thank you

outstanding!!!

Very informative thanks

Loved it

Good stuff!

Realy coool homemade press tolls

Talk about square peg in a round hole lol. Thanks for the vid and happy holidays (Merry Christmas)

Very cool.

The How It’s Made music was on point 👌

Good stuff

That's was very cool

THATS SUPER COOL I ALWAYS WONDERED

B E N D E R B E N D E R B E N D E R Ah ha I'm even greater than what I thought I was .

great video

Very interesting video, thank you. I just wish that they would have finished that 4-1 merge collector that they started on, thats what I really wanted to see.

Nice to see that the shop has some pretty nice homemade stuff for fabrication.

@TheFabricatorSeries

Yup! It's an eye opener for sure. They make their own dies and equipment to manufacture. It makes you step back and really think about a product. That blue forming machine is completely custom made.

Wow, 2 onto 1 merge ? Try 3-4 or six merge non slip fit. Form collectors hammered on to 4 tubes are science!

Sweet!!

Dope af. Would love to work there

The machine was literally just a double acting cylinder. The mandrels were totally custom made. You could make that stuff! The Huth swager is also just a pull ram, and you can buy the expanding mandrels, no big deal there. However, I do like the swage box those have for compressing the tube ends. Always yields a stronger tube than an expanded joint. But those are really sold to exhaust guys, and they don't really care too much about tube strength, just more about ease of fit up during installation.

very cool

Great vid great insight to how it's done in a shop that has all the tools

That’s pretty cool, especially since, in the future, I’m gonna try to make a one off, 4 into 1 collector (4-2 1/4” pipes into 1- 3 1/2” collector) for a project I’m doin. Gonna try to make 4 different two into 1 logs, into an unorthodox 180° header (sorta) for a whipple charged, LQ9 in a sas, 4x4 Colorado! Anyway, thanks again, good stuff!!

Cool dudes!

That was really fun to watch. Now I'm wondering if I could get a swedge bit and use a simple hydraulic press to expand exhaust piping.

A friend of mine has used a port-a-power type hydraulic system and a generic pipe expander to expand pipe for his tractor and pickup. He may have had to make a new mandrel, I seem to remember that the stock one didn't survive after a while, but that may have been using it with an impact driver before he switched to the hydraulic setup.

Good morning, who said there are no craftsmanship in the USA? These guys redefine the meaning of the word. Can you say World Class, they are. Thanks for a great video. Take care and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Awesome

Great video can't wait for more all ways learn something new here thanks. One more thing what song did you use

These guys can do in a matter of minutes what it take me all day to do.

You should take a look at the way “Burns Stainless” does their merge collectors, now those things are awesome....good insight with this vid tho 👍🏽

I fail to see how anyone can give this a thumbs down -- the guy is talented and doing something involved with something we ALL enjoy - MOTOR VEHICLES (HA - and MOTORBIKES and PISTON ENGINED aircraft) - obviously car haters accidentally viewed this video. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

The thing thats always got me confused is how they properly seal those non-slip style 4-1 merge collectors. I'd imagine is not fun welding in between all the runners once in place.

@177SCmaro

You weld the runners together first, then slip the collector over and finish the weld.

This exactly. I just built my first set of headers last week and it honestly wasn’t that bad. I cut a small piece of metal to fill the area between the tubes and then tig’d them all together. Then I ran a short head up the outside between each pair of tubes, slid the collector on and welded around and down to the side beads. Honestly wasn’t nearly as bad as I figured it would be.

Merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo dude. Good d'job.👍🤘. Petite question, quelle est le modèle de votre scie a ruban s'il vous plais ?

Can you please do a short safety video on the dangers of Chlorinated Brake Clean and TIG welding and the production of Phosgene Gas. We all need to be made aware of this. Thanks

hell yeah my brain is racing with ideas now

Great video!...question.. Can a collector be repaired? I have a leak on the inside of the collector. It seems to be square in the middle where the tubes come together.

could you please show how you would fit round ss tube to a oval shaped exhaust port? I have a gasket matches header flange and im trying to make it fit but i am missing a good idea how to make an easy jig to make it fit ;)

Could you make a video about pin stands on a car? Both the stand itself as well as the system on a car.

I am going to make a set of runner boards for my GMC 17 standard cab. I would think many of us are sick of store bought Scamzon look alike product. How about whats your take on it? Your a heck of a welder I enjoy your channel. Thanks. This last one was cool, But to me your about DIY making it.

Gotta love metal! :)

Could you please explain what exhaust pulse pairing between banks is and what advantages it has (guessinh that there are some).

Whether in welding fabrication part require wps,pqtr,pgr before making the part?

I did a video on how to make a two into one exhaust for a Honda Bros Motorcycle with just an angle grinder and arc welder
