Manifolds and Welding
Manifolds and Welding How Important is it to Tig Weld a Turbo Manifold.
If your using 321 stainless or Inconel Pipe is it possible to Mig it?
I know TIG is the best but i don't own a tig and can't tig for the life of me.

If you're going to spend the big $$$$ on either material definitely don't MIG weld them. Tack them up and have someone else TIG weld. Not sure if you've actually priced said material but it's very expensive?

Same here, I've got about a grand out for all the pipes and bends, plus another 900 for the double slip collectors.... but if you'fe got a hook-up like that,then you can afford to pay a top notch welder to TIG your stuff together.
Make sure he back-purges the pipes with gas, also.

I'm not going to go into where i get the 321 from but i know it's a good deal and i do all my own mandrel bends at the shop on the weekends for free.
the collectors aren't anything too special just 4 pipes merged together into a v-band welded inside and out.

if i give up the source it'll be alot harder for me to get the pipe i need, it's hard enough as it is now. it's taken almost 6 months to get what i have now. I would almost be inlcined to say it was scrap metal but i have gotten most of it in 7-8 foot sections

Oh, if you you don't have access to someone that can TIG that stuff for you I can always do if for a decent price. Brett
