tip cleaning won't effect your weld like 1" of actively molten metal will..

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

What kinda welding is that first of all i would never used flux wire on exhaust pipe, used solid core L-56 wire with 75-25 gas and leave a 1/16 gap between each piece of your your exhaust pipe and weld a downward pass it will look alot better, trust me, i weld for a living i know my ---- when it comes to welding If you dont have a solid core wire welder find someone who does, b/c after awhile that flux wire weld that you put down will start to rust you will have holes throw it and then it breaks off

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

unless you aren't working on a hmt project, fluxcore is the only way go to, hmt style.

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

i dont care if it HMT style the better it looks the more respect

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

Well if i my welder could except gas i would use it b/c i dont have any 220v in my house so flux it is for me primmed the heat wrapped

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

Your clothes drier is 220v.With a gas mig welder i can do beautiful bead on alluminized pipe.At the shop we use co2 for gas and i can still make pretty welds on that stuff.I have never used a flux core but it looks like a mig welder set way too hot and no gas.Find someone who knows how to weld and let them give you pointers.No amount of practice makes up for experience.They can show you the right distance/heat/etc and get you on the right path.It will save you alot of time and welding supplies.

New Update NO Leaks from what i can hear and see exhaust sounds great now

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

No leaks = good job in my book. Everyone starts somewhere!

Re: Fabbed up my first dP
 

looks like a seagull ---- all over you DP....

why not practice on some scrap flat bar or even your old exhaust :P

hope that ---- falls off on the freeway :y
