No ghey ass bro dozer stuff


But I think 2.5” should work. Probably booger weld some stuff on , change the dognuts again, and get the gas set up on the antique MiG before going with good pipe. It may need a new gun. @NorCal69 the liner looks cheap, but I think I can replace the whole gun for less than $100. Just need to make sure it matches up
 
Zoomies ftw... :haha:

Have been offline for a bit - what's going on w/ the exhaust, I missed some of this. Causing problems w/ the o2 sensors?
 
Can a person MIG stainless steel?
@sreidmx and I discussed this earlier. I’m going to look into what I need to run stainless wire through my machine

Kinda think mild steel on SS pipe may not be a good idea
 
I have done it. I MIG'd the stainless flex pipe to my standard aluminized exhaust pipe. It seemed to work but I was wondering if it was actually supposed to work.

I was wondering if the only reason it worked was because only one side was stainless. I suspected maybe if both pieces were stainless it wouldn't work as well.
 
It’s not the according to Hoyle method, but you can mig stainless and mild steel using whatever wire is designed for the grade of work material. I dwell longer on the mild since it welds “harder” than the stainless, which usually wets out quickly and welds super smooth. I’ve done it with C25 gas, and just brush the weld. It’s not perfect and wouldn’t pass a destructive test, but it’s been sufficient for exhaust work prior to getting a TIG machine.

Not smarter, but dumb enough to do the wrong thing the right way.
