Yeah, I thought that would get your attention. :-) A follow up to my stainless welding question... Here are the pics: http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/misterpolak/WBX_transplant/Example_Pics/Exhaustcrack1.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b7/misterpolak/WBX_transplant/Example_Pics/Exhaustcrack2.jpg The crack started at the top. The pipe sprang away and up from the flange. There was about a 1.5 cm gap before I put the obvious hose clamp on it to hold it against the flange - this is so I can make it to the muffler shop. These pipes are stainless steel. What do you think about welding this?
