as for welding cast, i preheat the whole casting on my hot plate for an hour or so to get it nice and toasty, then i use 309l filler.

with the 2.5 to vband youd want a transition so take the 4 bolt flange, transition, and vband flange and thats going to move the dp out another 3" or so. This way is cleaner and less work.
