It really depends on the material your using. If you use Mild Steel like most muffler shops then theyll use mig. SSL can be welded with mig as well with the right wire spool. And aluminum would be best with tig.

Tig is cool and everything....

But for a mild steel catback, mig is more than adequate..

Go find some tubing to practice on and make sure you get your heat and wire speed right..

make sure the edges of of what you are welding fit together perfectly. You most likely will not be able to fill any gap without blowing through..
