Default flux core on turbo piping

first off, i know that using gas will be much cleaner but i really am not very interested in looks here. if i can get welds that will hold without having to buy gas then i will be happy.

i have a lincoln 135 and i was just wondering if welding with their flux core (innershield) wire will the welds on the piping be satasfactory performance wise? id rather not waste my precious dollars on gas and a tank when it can be used on piping and fuel components. being poor is a sad situation but so be it

FluxCore will work just fine. Just make sure you don't move too slow and start putting holes in her.

Or go down to the tool store and get a cheap angle grider. I got my first one at harbor freight for 12.99. Have had it for 2 years now and no problems.

hmmm, looks to have prospect... how does that thing work exactly? it looks like it sands away **** but im probably wrong. do you use the edge of the blade to cut the pipe? how exactly does this thing work? is it easy to cut in non-straight lines like when making a manifold and connecting pieces in a 'T' manner instead of using a hole saw?
