> [@BREETIME](#): > > Nope. No grinding at all. My welds always sit flush, unless a high amount of purge pressure or silly amounts of filler are used Glad to see that someone used a purge on exhaust… Hopefully it was 100% Ar 🙂 If you want to save some serious coin on your purges, look up something called Solar Flux. We use it for Sanitary SS and Super Duplex Stainless X-rays. It’s just a paste that you paint, then it will shield the root of your weld perfectly. It’s very cheap too, it would probably pay for itself in a few welds. [http://www.solarflux.com/](http://www.solarflux.com/) Most local weld suppliers sell it… one tub lasts for a few hundred ft of welding. It’s good on All types of stainless and high nickel content materials… Don’t use it on Ti though, you need to purge that like normal. ---

Jay just muffler-deleted my Touareg V8. tips and rear resonators are going on next week, but this is what it sounds like with his pipes back to the bumper. welds and piping look awesome so far. I’m sure pics will be posted once it’s all done. ---

I assumed you were using solarflux We use it often in manufacturing on sanitary SS when it just doesn’t make sense to purge. Works great. ---

Doing that sized pipe where purging isn’t a paint in the dick I suppose not. I would give it a whirl before deciding having “zero reason to” though. ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Doing that sized pipe where purging isn’t a paint in the dick I suppose not. I would give it a whirl before deciding having “zero reason to” though. I have purge equipment for all sizes of pipe so i really have no reason not to use argon. Besides solar flux leaves disgusting penetration marks, and is usually not excepted in dairy line. Since this is exhaust, it really doesn’t even matter either way ha. ---
