Exhaust install technicalities: Welding
can you weld together 2 bits of piping
(say i have a 2.5" cat outlet and i want it to go to a 2.5" resonator inlet) rather than expanding one and clamping, can you kind of butt the two up together and weld the seam? Or is it better to expand / clamp? thanks Twitchy

More effective...!
A good weld is stronger than the tubing on either side of it. My whole turbo-back system is butted and welded, and has held up great, even under turbo heat and abuse. - Brian

Use a pipe expander to widen the pipe facing forward towards the engine then slide the other in and weld. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=37354
