welding?
I plan to weld my exhaust in place using a solidox welder. Since im welding near the petrol tank, do i need to be extra careful? is it a good idea?

The fact that you need to ask this, scares me lol.
Yes you need to be careful of the fuel tank and lines, plus the brake lines.

Nah dont worry about it mate. Fuel is only flammable in Engines and Movies because of the injection process....

Take it off - you'll be glad you did.

on a more serious note to my last post. Why dont you just use mounting rubbers?
since im cutting off the mufler and replacing it with a straight pipe, it would need to be welded together.
im not stupid, i was just asking for some serious advice how to not cause problems with the fuel. thought it wasn't too much to ask.

Why do you want to remove the rear muffler ? The noise inside the car becomes annoying and there is no power gains to be had .
there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
i tested it out, i like it. i hated the sound of the exhaust with the muffler. now it has a bit of a note to it. i can live with the noise. i spend many hours in my friends 180sx, now that's loud.

Unless you have a vehicle hoist, I strongly recommend you remove the system to weld it. Just trying to interpret out of your post, you're not solid mounting the exhaust, are you? That would cause you all kinds of issues.

thats what i thought he said he wants to do, which is very bad
linky:Straight exhaust?
no solid mounts, hangs like it should. a friend just tag welded it in position and we remove it and finished welding it. Since its a 2 piece cat back, unlike stock VN exhausts.

I'm surprised you still have an operational solidox welder. Is it the type that takes the pellets?
its just an arc welder. they also use solidox i think.

LG, v8.
just angle grind the bottom of the rear muffler out, lol.
i did this as a temporary before getting a catback on my old VS. works a treat.
already tested by unbolting the cat (at the front). my neighbours would hang me if i kept it like that :P
but i love the sound, its so rough and natural, like it should sound.

But it's a taxi!!!
No hang on, they don't even use them for that anymore!!
What? I guess I don't have to listen to it.....i'm sure your neigbours will be out the front doing cartwheels everytime you drive away.its so rough and natural, like it should sound.
Ok. A solidox welder is basically a primitive oxy-acetylene torch.
Solidox welding torch? - Yahoo! Answers
Solidox as the name suggests is colloquially called solid oxygen. It is a compound called potassium chlorate and when it burns it gives off oxygen to fuel the flame. It is a watched chemical now so almost impossible to obtain.
Regular arc welding rods as per your picture are coated in flux which gives off CO2 when it burns to prevent oxidation of the welding pool.
