Speaking of all this cat work.... I'm planning on
fabbing up an offroad pipe I can use at the track. I
want to put flanges on my existing cat so I will have
the option of replacing it for inspections, but run
with the straight pipe when I feel like it. My
question is about welders. What kind of welder do you
guys suggest would be a good choice for this type of
work? I have no welding experience and I don't want to
spend a LOT of money. I have been thinking about a mig
setup. I have seen some gaseless migs (I know
oxymoron) that are pretty inexpensive that should be
able to do a job like this. I've also read that migs
are easiest for beginners. I'll be removing the entire
exhaust and doing the welding away from the vehicle if
that helps in making a decision.... Thanks,
PS, please no "have a shop do it" responses. If a shop
does it then I have no excuse to buy a welder and
besides DIY is more fun ;-)
