Yeah, mine is wrong . They replied to my email already, and said they would resolve it.I had no issues with the inlet and outlet pipes not being straight on mine, and they fit over my 2.5 inch mandrel bends fine.
I will be making a lip on the undersides where it could traverse into the trunk, and then use 1/16" closed cell foam for that.Looking good
You may want to put some seam sealer across the two gaps of your removable panel so you don’t get capillary wicking of water into your trunk.
I don't use mine every week, but it's one of the best things I have for certain fabrication jobs. Just make sure you have safety glasses on. Every so often if the weld pool gets a touch to hot it has a mini explosion that shoots out a little slag unexpectedly.Used the new tool on the trunk access panel
Nice, you can soon build an entire car just like the manufacturers do
A spot welder definitely has its uses. Plug welding can achieve much the same by drilling a hole in the one object and then welding through the the hole around the edges. It does require some finesse to do however. We have a few remarkable welders in our model shop, certainly not one of my skills
Bummer about the muffler. Will you be running a resonator as you did previously?

Could the resonator be before the muffler and if needed move the catalytic converter to the left? Most resonators are ahead of the muffler. Just a thought.
You can still get distortion with spot welding, doing every other and then coming back to fill in works well.

I was able to cut quite a lot of length off my resonator to make it shorter.Decided to revisit this - looking in Rodger's thread he got a Vibrant 1792 resonator that is only 12" total length. If I cut down the pipes, that one will likely fit whereas the Volvo one won't. I ordered one to try. I want to keep the decibels down where possible.
I don't think there is a part left anywhere on the chassis that hasn't been altered in some way from original at this pointThat is quite a project, you have truly built your own car at this point.
