Tig Welding Stainless Exhausts, Downpipes, Dump tubes, Turbo Kits.. or anything automotive fabrication wise is a true art form when you break it down and try and turn out the BEST part that you can. At the end of the day we are all craftsman just trying to advance ourselves in this industry and learn everything we can to make our lives better and sharpen our skills.

Everything from Tig welding cups from Michael Furick @Mfurick to the Silicon Purge plugs that I use from Brad Harmer @Tigaestheics assist in giving me the most potential to produce a high quality purged stainless steel TIG weld that will last a lifetime without failing.

Getting cool looking colors when Tig welding is definitely not for every industry and it has its place so please don't get offended if you are doing Xray aerospace welding work. I have done Aerospace welding work and can truly appreciate the precise process behind it.

Tig / Gtaw welding stainless steel tube is an art form and you can be as lazy or picky about the quality as you want.. If you want quality stainless steel TIG welds you're going to have to put in the prep work and make it happen. Set yourself up with the right tools for the job and you can make anything you want come to life.
