Welding Question

2LZ · 07-25-2016, 04:40 PM

Not even being remotely close to a knowledgeable welder, I'm going to be doing some exhaust experimentation to the RX3. I have the little 90amp HFT welder for sticking stuff together, when need be. It's worked fine to this point for what I've needed of it, and it does have a switch for turning down the juice for thinner stuff.

My question is, I've always seen muffler guys do "stick and flame". Would this little wire welder be good for this on the low setting? If not, do you think I could mount the muffler on the bike mated to the pipe where I want it, then just tag it in a couple spots to hold it in place so I can take it to a muffler shop?

Thoughts from real welders much appreciated! Thanks!
