Message	You never answered my post from last night about your Z. With all those mods.. What are you running with it? (at the track). When welds are smooth and continuous they are stronger. I've seen 3/8" material tig welded no problem. It just takes longer, but TIG welding was never fast to start with. I dont know what your involvement with those manifolds are, but why do you insist on targeting my posts and act like you are correcting something? : that looks like it was MIG welded. MIG tends to throw slag which makes it look messy. Plus the pipe used to make those manifolds is thick walled cast steel. Most of the "hobby" MIG welders available don't have the power to weld pipe that thick, so you have to jack the heat up high and load the joint up to get some degree of penetration on the weld. : Those manifolds worked well when that car was running that turbo setup. Why do you insist on posting shit you know nothing about? My CarPuter Headquarters [ ashleypowers.com ] [ agpowers@bellsouth.net ]
