I see many SS parts that are not purged and it is not pretty.

Sounds like not-fun

Actually it's very easy, although I do welding for the brewing industry so I do it everyday so now it's easy.

Nice welds.

That's a damn fine job for being your first.

damn I'm impressed with those welds! That manifold is pretty dope too..I like the angle in which it mates with the turbo. Did you take welding courses or just lots of practice?

Wanna weld me a custom downpipe?? ;D

I'm a Tig welder by trade so I sort of know what I'm doing, here's a WG dump tube I made for my old Talon, it's 304SS mated to cast steel:

Holy ---- dude, those are some dead sexy welds. Shitbird has some competition. ;)

It's nice to see something other than a Civic or a Crx. :)
