looking for a exhaust system for a lancer GTS Mitsubishi that is not too loud any one has an idea or any sugestions?
Solid , no acid or flux core, and also soldering paste or flux for copper pipe. Also, you would be advised to sand both ends of the copper where they will be joined before applinga the paste or flux and then doing the solder joint. If you have never done this before, I suggest you take some old pipe , and a couple of fittings and practice a bunch before you attempt anything that counts. Rock
Clean the end of the pipe with 'wet and dry' paper or emery cloth. Clean it by going around the pipe, not longitudinally. (that's important). Wipe the cleaned area with a smearing of flux. Apply heat just before the cleaned area, NOT on it otherwise you will quickly cause oxidation. Your torch should be about 60% of it's max. Too hot and the copper will oxidise, too cool and it won't be hot enough to melt the solder. Ensure that you are using the correct melting point solder for the job. Hold the solder in one hand and apply it to the tube, playing the flame on and off and round the pipe. You need to get the heat to just the point where the solder begins to run. As soon as the solder runs, wipe it round with a mole skin cloth. (I use a leather garden glove, it works a treat, I can wipe it round and clean without getting burned leaving the end just silvered. When you have mastered that then you can move on to joining the pipes together with an end solder socket or, if you prefer, a yorkshire soldered socket. If the copper pipe changes color to a light reddish brown then you have applied too much heat. Likewise if the solder runs off like water. You need to get the heat to where the solder is between running off and being plastic.
Cat-back exhaust system. Otherwise the stock is pretty good, just get a new cold air intake and you should definitely notice a sound change with the stock exhaust system.
