You can only do it with a smiley tig. You push the Ceramic button and away you go.
I just learned how to do this yesterday, so I guess I'm ready to start a business selling ceramic turbo manifolds. $424.99 for a ramhorn. pm for details.

We need to stop this Cermamic stuff before he see's this thread.
Anyway seriously Mild steel is the easiest and cheapest to work with.And you can just use a good heat paint if you dont want to spend $150 on coating.And I use mild steel on my race car stuff .Because if your out somewhere and it cracks or you need to change something .Someone is going to have a set of torches near by that you can weld them with.With stainless your screwed unless you have a heli-arc

ok so next question. what is the best type of welder to use on this
im going to be designing the manifold and this dude i work with has been welding for like 25 years, and has done a bunch of V8 stuff, rock crawlers and ish like that.
i wanna have him there to spot weld, and then finish the job.

- 'spot welded' with stainless wire
- grind down tacks with a dremel + fiber cutting blade (black ones)
- have someone with experience tig weld it
That's how my unskilled-in-tig-welding-cheapass got it done..
..and aluminum foil and hose clamps for backpurging.
