Header Welding
Really tired of the AIR/EGR ports on my long tubes. If I cut them off and grind the metal bare, a simple weld job will work and then some spray high temp paint to cover it up correct?
Would this be a job that an exhaust shop could handle or should I bring it to a more specialized place?

Would an exhaust shop even want to have anything to do with disabling emissions equipment?

Why not?
Header would be off, all they would be doing is patching a hole.

yea i should go to adams shop first though to make sure the welder is working good... do some dummy peices to make sure and if so then yes itll take like 10 minutes... so let adam know to let me know when its a good time check it out and ill head over there... im sure he has some old heavy steel or old headers i can fudge up a little....

according to brandon, SMALL! and i dono, the gauge is busted too so don't really know what its set at. if you have other means of attaining some gas, go for it.
