Really, well who would have ever thought. I have a couple goodies coming soon, and want to get back on the dyno for some T/T of a new product, and maybe we can do it then? Prob swap the intake also so the cam sensor thing can be addressed too. I will get a hold of ya soon, well might be after the 1st of the year. Thanks

The trick is that you must cover both sides of the weld with sheilding gas and build a post weld box around the torch to keep any area that is over 800 degrees from being exposed to oxygen or nitrogen.
  1. Primary shielding of the molten weld puddle.
  2. Secondary shielding of cooling weld deposit and associated heat-affected zones.
  3. Backup shielding of the backside of weld and associated heat-affected zones.
Most Ti welding is done in a chamber for this reason.

See http://www.timet.com/fab-p27.htm for more details.

I am doing it for a few more ponies to be unleashed, however, the added agressive sound is ok too.

The first one is LTs, 3inch X pipe and and no cats, the second vid is the same with a cam and prob what mine would sound like. They really get agressive sounding at WOT.

Don, truth be told we've fixed Ti wheelie bars, in the field, at the track, I don't think George will have any problem with it in his nice warm shop.
