Default My first collector :)
My welding still sucks a bit, but didn't turn out to bad.
Should I try and weld the inside of the cone or just leave it be?




Thanks
Randy

I weld the tips together on the inside. I know no one else does but if you have high enough EGT's they could become brittle and break off.
