Going to mount my fmic this weekend and don't have anyway of welding aluminum or steel but my dad has this thing that welds copper together. I plan on welding a couple of sections (just the bottom parts) I have aluminum off the throttle body. I will connect the copper pipes to the aluminum with silicone adapter. I plan on painting all the pipes once done. Would I encounter any problems doing this, I think not but just want to make sure.
Thanks

 

Sounds wierd, but go for it. I don't see why you would encounter any problems. What is the thing your Dad has to connect copper?

Don't know but he used it to set up the pipes for our sprinkler system.

 

sounds good. As long as the joints are strong. I would imagine they would be considering they hold high water pressure.
