I welded my ghetto downpipe that was aluminized wrinkle bends from Advanced auto with a flux-core unshielded welder. Basically MIG minus the shielding gas. Worked for six months until I just welded up my 3" stainless these past three days. nissanfanatic 02-17-2005, 01:52 AM TIG is a very hard weld to master. For most people, it takes about 5 years of practice before they can weld proficiently. Again I say most becuase there are naturals and such. I would say try what you have and just toy with heat settings and wire feed speed(if you're using a wire feed type). logik23 02-17-2005, 07:02 AM I thought exhaust systems bolted up... monooxide 02-17-2005, 12:24 PM Well...the cat back does bolt to the cat but i doubt the whole ting comes as one like 6-8+ ft piece... So what about MIG and Stick? orestes 02-17-2005, 02:16 PM ha nope it comes in a 8ft section. i cant tell you how happy i was to see a guy carrying an 8ft long box that said A'PEXi all over it towards my front door. one gigantic box, one gigantic exhaust. nissanfanatic 02-17-2005, 05:41 PM Oh I though you were doing a custom job or something. I highly doubt HKS requires welding the exhaust together. My Apexi N1 came in a huge box shipped freight. monooxide 02-17-2005, 05:52 PM Thats awesome...my friend knows how to weld but hes scared of alluminum...i just wouldnt imagine a 8ft box... well maybe i can get the exhaust from whoever was selling it on this forum Related Links Participate in thousands of discussions at AutomotiveForums.com!
