I was doing some welding this afternoon and looked up at my machine cause something sounded funny and my exhaust pipe was laying sideways and rattling around. I got up on the bed and looked and the pipe had broke off right at the muffler. I cant figure out what caused it. I didnt hit anything. Has anyone had something like this happen?

Its still under warrenty. Im getting it fixed next week. I wonder what it would sound like strait? Have you ever heard one? Does it sound good?

Trade it in on a Vantage

I've replaced a few of those mufflers already. Might have been a bad design or bad welds and the replacement should fix the problem.

Now that's funny...............bad welds on a welder!

How did I know you were going to say something like that cactus

Never have, but the trucks sound good straight. Might have to check that out this weekend, just for something to do. Oh, and piss off the neighbors.

An old boy told me one day, the only thing that sounds better than a classic Lincoln machine is when you turn it off.  I would have to be a long way away to have a straight pipe.

You have to admit, It would be a nice UPGRADE

that vantage may work well on the junk iron but i wouldnt depend on it mutch going down the right away  dont seem to be working to well on the big pipe they have been turning into lungers fast            loud pipes saves lives

Thats kinda what i figured. My old redface had a strait pipe and by the end of the day i couldnt wait to shut it off, and I liked the sound but enough is enough!!
Parent - By chris2698 (****) Date 09-20-2009 05:04
yeah thats what I have on my redface and it's pretty loud I've thought about adding a muffler to it
