Default Welding sch. 10 to sch. 40

Ok so in a bit of haste i bought some 304L stainless steel sch. 40 90* elbows from mcmaster. Can't get ahold of anyone that makes a collector besides bmcrace.com and they only offer the collector in schedule 10. I'm not sure if its advisable to weld these two together or not for a ramhorn manifold application. I'm thinking that the thinner walls may cause a problem with structural integrity down the road. I'd build the collector myself but don't yet have the tools for it.

yea i can't see spending 350 on it even if it is 321 stainless!!

i was going to just buy one i thought maybe it would be cheaper because of my labor charge but ill just fab one up

that place has all kinds a exotic materials from inconel to titanium

you have to admit that that collector is sexy

Agreed, and you have some thicker ss with the sched 40 there so you can get some more pentration. Make it happen
