Default This is so ghetto..

So I had TRT performance do my header install today which there will be a post on this later on but this is the weld that they found on my car.
I just bought the car three months ago and this was already on it. I was amazed to find..
Gutted cats, the most ghetto weld that anyone has ever seen.. dubbed "the afro" lol... and the cat was aftermarket garbage and was welded too close to the stock manifold and it kept them from being able to unbolt it, btw there were three different sized bolts on there.
LOVELY.
I will post pictures up of the beautiful headers and my exp later on...with a video clip.

that's actually amazing in some aspects...

i've tried to weld bead after bead ontop of it's self (even letting them cool off between beads) and about 4 or 5 in, they always start melting each other. this guy had some talent.... lmao.
