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!
You’ve inspired me to redo mine. As a welder, seeing the welds that I paid for upsets me all the time
What type of machine / machine would you recommend a beginner use for something like this?
@@solidsnake1120 tig welder
exactly the type of system for my '93 chev. pickup,thanks
I done my first year and feel I’m capable. Quick question. Do you you think a little flux core Amazon machine is decent enough for the job
@@williamdon3442 no go with either tig or mig the flux will burn trough and it gives ugly welds
Your the first you tuber to explain the mathematical theory on how to make a custom y pipe thanks for doing that!!
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
One piece at a time... looking forward to seeing this build in it's final form
If I get a 3in exhaust do I use a 3in band clamp? Or 4in???? I can't find this info anywhere.
IMO. One of the last good people on KZhead. You and jimmy 👍🏻
She sounds good with her new exhaust. Can't wait to see her completed. Great job so far.
Ae 86' SUPERB motor had same one for 12+ yrs wish i still had it OH well , still got my 21yr old B16a2 working on it right now...well done fella ..
I just ordered a kit like this a few days ago, hasn't even arrived yet, then you doing Wago helped me find this channel. I look through your videos and found this! Good job BTW I hope mine comes out as nice as yours.
Your video and production quality is amazing, I still can't understand how you have not blown up.
Outstanding logic and work. You inspired me to do my own exhaust, this is the type of thing I know I can do if I put the thought in.
envision it and make it happen!! that's why I love this channel and especially this build!!!!
Lovin your work Bode you are one talented guy, seems like you have the gift of being able to see the finished article in your head before it's even started which makes it easier. That beast sounds awesome 👏👊👍 John UK
Sound great man. Gonna trick some people who don’t know cars very well hearing that sound coming from a Honda.
Awesome Job as usual dude!....I am actually getting a full redo on my current exhaust of 4 or 5 years ago...Some shop I went to did some "ghetto" Booger welds and been driving around these 4 years or so with a tiny Exhaust Leak someplace!!....Can't wait to get this done correctly!!
Now heres a video for the average DIYer. No special tools really for the exception of a welder. Nice clean job, and well presented.
B/V must stand for BEAST VIDEOS i love watching you work man good stuff
Such a kick ass build! Keep up the great work!
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 👍🏻🤙🏻
Very helpful. Great video and I like how you make your thinking visible.
Keep up the good work. Been dying to see what you would do next.
it amazing how you did this, everyone else would have gotten a bender. you are skilled
Sounds so badass!!!! Super clean install man, legit.
Sounds so good... love the way its coming out .. keep up the good work 👏
Great video and great job ive been thinking of doing one on my van thanks for sharing
Loving the videos! Im still waiting for the paint video! Always doing excellent work bro!
I can't wait to see this thing completely finished
This is really awesome, can’t wait to see what’s next!!!
Nicely done! Sounds good too
Great work nice and simple flowing exhaust
Just ordered the same piping kit, excited to try it out
Where did you get it from?
Nice job! I picked up a couple of layout tips from this.
Loving the stop light 😁
This build is awesome 👌
love this build!!
You did a great job, and it sounds fantastic.
Nice cut with that grinder man!
Thanks for the video Bode dope as always...
You did a fantastic job 💯
It sounds so good, super aggressive!
Liked your Y piece method, very cool! 😎
Sounds great and I really enjoyed watching the process.. you make it seem simple. Merch idea maybe? Do what you can, with what ya got! 😁 it's like a DIY Anthem
Nice job Bode!
Ik this is a year later but I finally got my equal length headers done. I get alot of people stunned because of the huge bulge of pipes poking out behind the front wheels, I love it they make my cam sound even better
COOL LOOKING Y PIPE..NICE SET UP..
Exhaust sounding good 👍
Very clean work!
Came out great!
That was awesome to do It that way and to show everyone it can be done. Hell yeah 😀
That's a much smoother exit. Nice work!
I just need a few more parts and tools and I'll be set to try this for myself! I cannot wait!
Thanks for making a really good video!
Very nice, sounds good too!
Sounds sick af!
Great job fabricating. I would recommend a flex joint somewhere and also not making the entire exhaust 1 piece. Sounds mean 💪🏻
On jackstands, proper DIY, impressed you got the car up with the jack in one lift - takes me at least 3.
sick mate love it
Amazing Sound
Thank you for this. I'm just planning a 2" center exit exhaust for my Renault Clio.
Happy to see some content homie!
This car will be a masterpiece
looks good ! doing whatcha gotta do!
Workin with what we got, Amen to that brother 🦾
damn dude, i learned a lot just by the pipe measuring!
You are a badass fabricator, great skills!
Thank you very much!
@@BodeVision I have a question so I have a muffler delete on my car and I bought an aftermarket exhaust an had it welded on to the rest of my stock pipe so I was wondering if I cut off my resonator and clamped on a 2.5 inch straight pipe would that make any difference in the sound of my car like make it louder then just the muffler delete or what would that do?
Great vid man. I was wondering on systems where the mid muffler and end muffler are deleted. What is the difference in sound when you place an aftermarket muffler(s) in the mid section versus at the very back of the car?
Awesome stuff!!!
Well done Adam
Great video and great to see a new one each week were going to get you to 100K if that will let you work full time again and that will be great.
Always enjoy your content man, wish you could come back full-time. As a wise man once said, "One day you may God damn it" RIP Rich Piana.
You can learn so much from your experience and your channel. Thank you for sharing. Can't wait till your Ls powered Honda is ready to rip
Nice and raspy tone! Very mean thanks for sharing
Wicked looking build but will the floor be okay with the exhaust pressed against it st the first y split
Sounds Wicked!!
Your skillsets are awesome, wish you were my neighbor!
Great video 💯
Looks good Adam 💪🏽😎 sounds nice also 👍 I wish you have sponsorship to hook you up with a lift that would helpful with the work you do that would be easier on the road to 💯k 👌
That math made my head hurt, not because it was hard, but because it was so wrong lol😂
Great video!!
Cool video bro!
Great job
Trying to start welding by learning on parts for my e36 great video appreciate this, will be coming back constantly once I’m sitting there doing my cuts and measurements even though I’m trying to start simpler and just do catback, keep it up 👍🏻
How'd it go?
8:29 CHECK OUT THAT GAP!! 😜 ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WATCH A BODE VIDEO.
I'm not a welder but I do like to tinker with my car. Been wanting to do mine as well but I only have a cheap welder that leaves scags that have to be cleaned up. Kinda intimidating, don't know if I'm brave enough to show it on my channel 😅 Nice work brotha 👍🏽.
Man did the same on my first exhaust for my nova. Pie cuts an a couple are sharp bends and no flex joints. . Going to be redoing mine too. Also look into putting some flex joints because you will be going through some header gaskets.. ask me how I know.
I think a center exit exhaust with a defuser would look fresh and clean.
It turned out good 👍👍🇨🇱
Brooooooo You’re famous now!!!!!! I was just looking up how to do a good exhaust & you piped up! Fantastic Job on everything!!! Hope alls well bro! #Deanrd
lol far from famous but I appreciate it! OG stanced DC5 back in the day! These kids have no idea that we did this nearly 10 years ago!
Great job.. a new follower, I love you from Iraq ❤️
Great video man.! What settings you use on welder?
Hey man! PLEASE READ: I have a nearly mint condition 1983 Honda Accord sedan and want to LS swap it but I dont weld and don't know how much that kind of project would cost. Just hoping you or anyone reading this with swap knowledge could answer my questions! My Accord was inherited and garage kept, no rust and 150k original miles on it! Fully red interior and is getting wrapped in a metallic aqua blue. ALSO: I LOVE YOUR CONTENT IT IS INCREDIBLE BRO, KEEP IT COMING!
Hey man! It’s near impossible to estimate what this would cost because the amount of time it would take can vary. Also depends on if you went with a donor car like I did. You would need to consider cost of a full additional car plus labor to adapt the car to work with donor cars stuff.
Why did you decide not to use the cutouts? Doing an ls swap myself and am contemplating putting them right after headers
Good video! Is your piping aluminized and what kind of gas are you using? Bradley
I did a custom dual exhaust on my o7 silversdo myself in 2.5 days. It took longer extracting the header bolts to replace the manifold than it did to the rest of the exhaust haha. I had to tac weld out cylinder 8 5 times cus the bolt kept breaking off. In the head.
I know I'm 3 months late but I think a boom tube style exhaust tip would look great with the rectangular bumper cut out
Like always bro 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Very nice setup Adam. Maybe still a little loud, but who cares! Dutch regards, Nico.
Nice bro what type of pipes are you using
Nice work. The sound of that is like bacon for my ears!
I know this is kind of late, but could you also cut the two pieces at a slight angle so that the exhaust gas from the two pipes merge easier or is this neglectable/ would it have any benefits ?
Phenomenal stuff bro!!! 🔥🔥🔥. Can't wait till this covid shit ends to have the goat work on my babies. Keep doing it big home!! 🍻
