Damn Subaru rattles. I bought my wife one. The heat shields are always loosening up and rattling. I took a majority of ours off, especially up front. We added clamps, wires you name it and until it warms up, rattle rattle. I should just weld the shields onto the mainfold. On all my older ones, I ended up discarding all the heat shields except the ones up under the car. No one drives in long grass here anyways, no fires to worry about. In the old days, no one used heat shields. Thats why Dodges starters always went out. lol.

I wish honest small shops like yours still existed around here. The big franchises have buried every independent. I tried to get something similar to this done and the shops here wouldn't touch it claimed it was too rusted (no worse then this) and would only replace the whole system (included manifold) for over 1, 100 dollars. Said screw them rented a welder and practiced a bit and welded it up just fine on my own, sure it's ugly but it works.

So Eric O What is your opinion on the battery disconnect when welding? Personally I dont think it matters one way or another the only way to protect the ECU from welding voltages would be to disconnect said ECU. In my opinion disconnecting battery will not protect it.

The problem with doing a temporary fix is if it breaks in a month or so the customer will be back wanting it fixed for free. They conveniently forget all about how you told them it was temporary and there is no guarantee as to how long it would last.

Haven't found a particular need for one yet, but my granddad convinced me to start with MIG welding a few years back and I will be going that route when I finally break down and buy one. Good video to give some basic insight into MIG welding.

YET ANOTHER honest, cost effective repair-where possibly BETTER repairing OEM unit-than replacing a vibration prone item
where MOT other mechanic would REPLACE and profit from replacement -with a THINNER gauge AFTER MARKET unit =KUDOES to you

During MIG Welding. What about taking OFF the neg. Pole of the batteri? What are you teached in the US? Here in Europe (Denmark) you are teached to remove the negative of the batteri for not fryring the alternator or the computers.

You guys who weld -- how do you make absolutely, positively, 100% sure that mask gets put on every single time? The thing that makes me nervous about welding is forgetting the mask that one time and blinding myself.
