Welds are made with stick. Little tricky task with rusted pipe, but can be done.

And here is the sound of the fixed pipe.

Backround noise of the yard is nearly louder.

Working fix, If you have to do it without pre manufactured parts.

So.
Because i found this to work.
I decided to make a tool for shaping the pipe ends.

Attachment 36572

Stainless 316 pipe with 1.6mm wall can be shaped with a ten ton press.

Attachment 36573

I can make my own stainless connecting pieces.
To be used with exhaust pipe, dust connector etc..

Tightened connection is very tight.

Tool can be used to make more mushroom shaped ends too.
