Newbie to welding and this forum.
I have some exhaust work to do on one of my cars and I decided that I would try doing the work myself.
Picked up a 120V 90A inverter stick/MIG welder and I've been practicing beads on some 16 gauge plate. Flux-core wire (.030) only so far. Steep learning curve but lots of fun!
What I am planning on doing is replacing the catalytic converters on my car with hi-flow versions. This will entail welding 2.5" to 3" adapters onto the cats. The cats are stainless steel and the existing exhaust is not. Will be lap joints.
Get I use flux-core wire here? Better to go with shielding gas? What type of wire?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks.
