Yeah, I thought that would get your attention.  :-)

A follow up to my stainless welding question...

Here are the pics:

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?
