Pretty sick install! Certainly one of the cleanest setups I have seen in a long time. (y) I have never seen sound dampening for use around a router but I like it!

Go for it. It never hurts to try it. You will receive a million different answers here but fix the car and get it back on the road, after all it is just an exhaust. :) I use 309L-AP Select Arc with 100% CO2 to weld SS to regular steel. Never used this on exhaust but the stuff welds great.

It sounds stupid BUT If the front casters ****, make sure that the bolts aren't too long to hit the yoke. Even if they are close, under some weight they may still hit.

https://www.instructables.com/Music-Synchronized-Christmas-Lights/ I used this to get my first project going years ago. After that I supersized the project to isolate the music into 6 independent channels. Left (High, Mid, Low) and Right (High, Mid, Low) with an active crossover (I think...

"Bestine Solvent and Thinner" has always been great for anything that Acetone couldn't get off. Its pretty mild stuff but works great at removing anything like rubber cement. To re-attach it, use a two part epoxy meant for glass. The "Loc-tite" and "JB Weld" brands have plenty of options.

If you are worried about how a saw blade would react with plastic, then use a grinder with a cut-off wheel. Its not the prettiest cut and a bit messy but use the proper PPE. Afterwards clean it up with a sanding block or a file. I used the same technique on a large model of a NYC building that...

I bought a pressure washer many years ago second hand, it has a Honda engine on it with a 4gpm Cat pump ... Its got some serious balls to it. From what they say, those pumps have 9 lives, you can rebuild them many times over.

Can't go wrong with the Durham units. Currently have 20 of the drawers and 4 ball bearing cabinets to house them. They are great for stationary use.

Before and after kinda...

When I painted my 40' container, I used gloss white oil based barn paint from Tractor Supply. I just pressure washed the inside a few times over with a degreaser and then let it dry. Spray a few coats of gloss white through an airless sprayer and then epoxied the floor with some product from...

Sounds stupid but check your hardware interfering with your swivel casters, especially any flat washers that may creep and interfere with your swivel clearance. -OR- Check that your caster plates are level to the ground and not cocked at an angle.

Another good use for Brakleen (red can above) is to remove road tar from a car body. My truck got some on it from the previous owner and this took it off quick. Its getting repainted anyway so I wasn't concerned about it ruining the clear coat. To my eye it didn't damage it. Use it at your risk...

I have been on a search for a specific toolbox lately to finish a project of mine (HF end cabinet, the older style 16" wide I believe) and I have come across a TON of "Snap On" boxes that were anything but. Its nothing new. You just have to be educated about what you are buying. You're lucky...

I'm in the process of hooking up the lights I added to my truck and I just always run a good solid ground back to the battery if I can. Just saves frustration down the road. The horn on my civic stopped working years ago ... Turned out to be a bad ground, so I sanded some paint off the frame...

I have always been a fan of the Benjamin Moore DTM High Lustre. Used it on my welding table and its been holding up well. Cost me about $50/gallon which is a pretty good price. Any true 'paint store' should have it. Good solution for painting metal without a primer or anything too exotic.
