Can this or is this a good system to weld exhaust pipes on autos

No. this is a stick welder. You really need a wire feeder for exhaust pipes.

hello,i would say that welding an exhaust pipe is best done with a wire feed welder.the exhaust pipe is rather thin and you may be able to do it w/this using lower amperage and small diameter rods like a 6013 which is pretty much an all purpose rod for steel.however,i have never tried welding exhaust and from my experience of having an exhaust installed and someone welding on it, they used a wire feed and down side is,that the heat and welding process will remove the galvinized protection at/around the weld and it will usually corrode/rust out at that point quicker.hope this helps some.

It was a gift to our son. He says as long as you know how to weld, it would work fine in welding exhaust pipes on autos.

In a nut shell. I strongly doubt it. I am not an expert; but I think the unit is too small and does not have the power.

i am not an expert by any means.....and although i have not tried it, it was one of the reasons i purchased it....for multi use (exhaust, mower decks, farm equip, etc.) So, if you get the amps right and the correct rod so you don't blow a hole through the thin material, you might be able to do it. Although, i believe a mig welder would be more suited to this application. sorry, i can't give you an experienced answer

It depends if you have space for it. If you have enough space to under you car where ur pipe runs then yes. If you look at your piping and it looks like you have space for a catylic converter then ur good to go. This resonator is pretty big

Yes. The exhaust doesn't always fit perfectly.. I had to take it to a local exhaust shop and they altered one of the welds.. Only cost me 50$

Yes it is a weld on. Also custom hangers were used for mine, since my car is lowered. But this muffler sounds great, nice low tone.

It is recommended that you re-jet. I would not recommend this exhaust because it is too loud. It will boost your power and bust your eyedrums. Tech assistance is non-existent. Pay a little more for something better.

Of course you can attach PVC to it. Thats how Ive always done it, or the flex hose too. Its just common 2" threaded PVC piece you find at any home depot. Its a slip on the other side so you can glue in a 2" pipe and go from there. Both the intake and the exhaust are the same finer thread.

It lines up perfect with your down pipe only issue is using the stock down pipe the way the bolt pattern is it angle the aftermarket piping and muffler downwards so if your cars low or gonna be lowered you'd need to change down pipe or have your stock part near the bolts that meets up with this cut cut off turned some then re welded then just bolt this kit up. It's deff worth it deff sounds awesome and does add some horsepower with my 02 civic ex Vtec I'm running this exhaust with aftermarket headers stock down pipe and true cold air intake and I've seen a HUGE DIFFERENCE

SHould work OK. Just make sure you have the correct adaptors to mount it to the exhaust pipe

You can do it some of the bolts are a pain to get off. Be careful with the gasket that goes to the exhaust. If you don't line it up properly the metal gasket ring could get displaced and you will have a leak. I did it for my first time on my gmc Sierra 2008 and it took a whole day. Good luck

I think it would work fine. On high speed the unit moves the air quite well. If your welding with a shielding gas, it might pose a problem with weld quality. None the less, you have medium and low speed too! I'd give it a try. I'm very happy with my unit.

Not if you know how to weld. I installed it by cutting the catalytic converter off, welding the same size pipe long enough to have the exhaust dump just before the rear tire. You also have to attach the sensor to the pipe otherwise you will get an engine light. Or you could just have a professional welder do it.

It should sound good. I took my integra to a muffler shop and had the oem exhaust cut from cat back. Replaced it with 2.5 inch stainless steel and it sounded great. Overall a great deal and the finish has lasted

Unless you can weld, this is not a DIY job. I recommend you take it to a muffler shop and have it installed. I payed 35 to have it done.

I have never had an occasion to weld pvc pipe. but if it is clean and you have pvc material to weld with then it should work. but remember that the heat form welding will make the weld joint brittle so I would not recommend it

These things are designed to take the vibration so your exhaust system doesn't crack and it takes the pressure off your headers. Its not designed to be used as a bendable pipe. If you want elbows or the like then you have to purchase them separately or get some tubing bent to the angles that you want.

I think it will. The only problem I see is the heat. JB Weld has held up to everything else I have thrown at it. Balancing its small cost against the risk of failure, my advice is to try it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work but you still have partial tubes of the stuff for the future. It is always handy to have around!

I find this to be an echo chamber for a throaty v8. Im not so sure about a 4 cyl.... V6 might sound good. As far as ffitment. Just depends on the size of pipe you are using and if you have a pipe expander.
