70amp gasless mig, good enough for exhaust piping?

would a 70 amp gasless mig welder be strong enough to weld together some exhaust piping? The welder is a Linlcoln Electric Weld Pak HD.

If you only want to use it once to do one exhaust, sure, but if you plan on making a lot of stuff find a more powerful one.

i would say almost the opposite

that thing will want to burn through thin wall tube if it doesnt have many current settings. IE, if its ON/OFF, watch out.

Re: (welfarepc)

the weld pac hd will work fine for exhaust. Just keep the settings low, wire speed about 6 or so. If you start burning through the material, drop the settings.
