Kev's been working out. :P

If you want to weld like a pro, get an automatic helmet. I can't weld with a regular mask. Well, I can't really weld with an auto mask either, but it's way better.

You gotta turn up the heat on that welder and get some better penetration. Come on now, don't be afraid of a little penetration.

Not trying to thread jack but Will the welder at wal-mart be sufficient to do things such as charge pipes and exhaust? It's a little cheap thing like $90. Not sure what type but its 70 amps I think.

THREAD JACK:

I just did some fantastic welding with my El-cheapo Ebay welder. I found out that the spool works alot better as it gets smaller. It keeps getting clogged up and turns into a rats nest. This ---- is nasty, but it works. I can't pick on ANYBODY too bad because my ---- looks like *** too.



I welded a 2.25" into a 2.5" pipe. It was a bitch, but it actually worked.



For reference, this is the welder I used:


Sorry for the thread jack.

EDIT: Just found my new avatar.

Kevin, that ---- is true inspiration for everyone to do thier own chargepipes. That ---- looks nice.

it's a whole lot better than paying a guy $400 bucks, huh Bamboo?

It's good enough for the girls I go out with. :P

That spatter ---- was all over my garage floor. It makes a nasty mess. I don't really weld enough to need a big expensive setup, so this works for me. This was only the 3rd time I ever used it in like 1 year.
