The welds will most likely not be show quality but you can do it. With the V-band flanges you can weld the flanges on from the inside of the collectors so it won't even be visible. The surface just needs to be cleaned up well. The flange is slipped over the collector and the lip is welded from the inside. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
