24 Aug Wednesday Welding
With Wekfest and Motor Union coverage behind us, it’s just another action-packed day at Fluid being showcased on the blog.
Earlier this week, we finished perfecting fitment with the Explorer’s exhaust pieces (manifolds, downpipes) and have shipped them off to Swain Tech for some thermal coating. This coating should help keep the heat where it’s supposed to, instead of soaking the engine bay in power-robbing temperature values. Here they all are, lined up in a row, before we boxed ’em up:
Elsewhere in fabrication, we were busy attaching new exhaust tips to Chris’ OEM+ E46 M3. This should add a small bit of aggression to an otherwise seemingly stock vehicle. All we had to do was remove the old tips, clean the area (because you can’t TIG weld on contaminated pieces) and weld the new puppies on:
Lastly, fabrication was also working on a cat delete for a customer’s C32 AMG. Removing the cats should give this car a bit more growl and should add a decent chunk of power to the AMG motor’s current stable of ponies. Both the primaries and secondaries were deleted in the making of these pictures.
On one final note, it’s time to bid farewell to an old friend, one we’ve poured countless hundreds of hours and plenty of blood, sweat and tears into — Marilynn’s M45. The full mod list, list of options and everything can be found in this link here. Otherwise, we’ll let you know that we’re offering it up at $25k or best offer, which is quite the steal for all the custom work that went into it. Here are the most recent pictures taken of it, from Mike Burroughs’ blog you may have heard about:
Let the bidding begin!
