Welding Stainless Steel?
Is welding Stainless any different than welding regular pipe? I went to a shop to see if I could get the midpipe flanges welded prolly with extension, and they said that you need some special type of welding tool 
Im not a welder so I dont know. The reason is because if I tighten the Bolts down in the mid pipe the pipe will hit the side of the undercar so I left one bolt a little loose so it doesnt hit leak, so now there is a leak from that spot due to the gap. Thanks for the Help!
