Cylinder 2 link pipe is made. Just needs detailing with a flappy disk and some finer sanding paper, followed by a finishing layer.
It's my first time welding an exhaust pipe, and it went better than expected. Used MIG. A cheap machine.
First try needed quite a few corrections, but on the second weld I already got the hang of it a bit.
Now, how to finish the pipe. I'm thinking heat resistant paint, but which color..? The silencers are chrome. The header pipes are tired original chrome-ish...

Cylinder 1&2 done. Now what to with the finish?
Heat resistant paint? But what color?

If it was me I would get them chromed to fit in with the headers and silencers.
If you don't want to do that it would have to be silver exhaust paint, black would look odd sandwiched between the chrome sections. Please don't wrap them with silencer bandage! One of my pet hates. 😣

I agree on the bandage ;)
The headers aren't really in very good condition. What if I painted them too? Black / Silver...?

I always thought black exhausts were cool. In the 70s that’s what all the race bikes used (think RCB)
