    Yes. Maybe. According to google you should use what's called "tri-mix". I've never used any welders with gas, so I don't know.

    I do know however, from experience, that you can weld stainless-to-stainless and stainless-to-mild exhausts together with regular flux core wire with no gas and it will hold until the welds rust out 3 years later.

    Also I am considering buying some V-Clamp flanges and just welding those to my cuts instead.

    Thanks fish. I'll have to look into tri-gas; hoping it's not to expensive or it may just make sense/cents to pay an exhaust shop after all; not what I wanted to do.

    On another completely unrelated note, what kind of gap are you guys running on your AL 104s?
    Search function doesn't like words with 3 characters or less - "gap"; I know I've read a couple different numbers from folks, can't recall them though.
    I've got pulley in hand and figure while I am tearing things apart I'll change the plugs and t-stat.
