Welded up the better vband flange to the downpipe


Shown here is the custom machined purge plug which ensures that the flange will not warp during welding. After welding the flange fits well to the downpipe and locates very nicely

The downpipe was built up to to the exhaust jig flush, but has shrunk slightly after all the welding. Fitment to the exhaust turned out quite good, well within tolerance
