Exhaust Tutorial

here is my version of an exhuas ttutorial i made for my x mod but it has close to teh same scale as teh 1/24 model well hre it is

first things first, when i amke a topic with this ~*~*~ that will represent a tutorial by me. I hope this tutuorial will help a lot of people out, also plz let me know wut u think about my style of posting the tutorial if u all like it i will try to make more wen i have teh chance to.

Step 1: Get materials, u will need 2 pipes (one that will fit in the other one), a dremel, silver paint (silver sharpie also works), paint pen, a file, sandpaper, a x-acto knife, glue, tape, index card, and putty. here are some pics of wut u will need.

Step 3: when u put the pipes 2gether u will c there is a little gap... we can fix this witha cut peice of index card. after u cutthe index card u put it around the silver pipe and insert the silver pipe witht eh index card on it into teh barss pipe.

Step 4: apply glue around the wilver pip to hold the index card and the pipe in the brass pipe. u mit also want to use a lil krazy glue. DONT USE TOO MUCH GLUE.a little glue will go a long way. the glue is the lil ring that looks like weld...

Step 5: now is when u will use ur glazing putty. apply putty ontop of the glue joint that u have added.

Step 6: wait for teh putty to dry. i wood give it a good 20 minutes. while u r waiting u kan get ur sand paper out.

Step 7: AFter the putty has dried sand smooth like so, also if u want u kan cut the pipe on a slant like i have done.

Step 8: Now that u hopefully sanded everything down with no problems paint the brass pipe black for the C/F look.

Step 8: Make sure the black is dry, now u kan do the silver area i used teh sharpie b/c it was easier, and it fit nicely in tehre, but u kan also use silve rpaint if u need to. here is the final product.

Step 9: I only have the civic so the picture i have will help the people with the civic, but i imagine that the other cars have similar exhaustplacements so mounting the exhaust shoodnt b 2 much of a problem. for the civic i took a ckinny peice of scotch tape and tapes the exhaust around teh pole that u screw in the RS exhaust
