    Figured I'd throw this up here. Had the time to have my friend weld them shut. Just threw it on the car the other day.

    You need to video a longer pull than that, the Gen V really scream right before the 2nd - 3rd shift.

    I'm surprised the case didn't warp at all.

    I've seen this car in person. It's pretty nice. Never rode in it, but I can imagine what it sounds like in person.

    I believe he said he had to bake the case for a few minutes to clean the underside of it. Then made a small aluminum plate for each one and then welded them on.

    Your supose to heat up most metal before welding to help create less "stress" within the metal. Would also help keep the case from warping. I can tig but I wouldn't trust myself to do that yet. Your friend is pretty good, get him to weld up a few more. Sell them and make some $$$

    Anyone could ship him a case and he will weld it up.

    I think he baked it for a few minutes to burn off the crud and oil.

    Seeing the underside of the case means nothing, I'd be more interested to see the inside where the rotors meet the case

    The holes are still there. He welded the plate from the underside so it didnt mess with the rotors or inside of the case.

    It would be extremely hard to warp anything anyway, that overall size of the case is HUGE compared to the really small spots that he welded up. Maybe if he did it near the an edge and was a really long weld with many passes, would something go wrong.

    But in the end, it's slightly louder and thats it.
