I love how your no bs and straight to the point with these videos. Your also clear and simple with your explanations so it’s easy to follow along and learn
Hey man! appreciate you saying that! I am still pretty new to the UA-cam content creation, but trying my best! Want to be as clear as possible with the message so people can actually get value! Thanks for watching my stuff!
Hey kully! Just wanted to thank you for the eye opening tip on amp setting. I’ve been tig welding for a year now and always set the amps higher then needed. Sometimes leading to inconsistent passes. Now knowing to set it at a amp range where I can floor it it’s been a lot more consistent ! So I appreciate that and thank you for this vid ! 🤝
My TIG is in the mail, but my MIG has been near me since 84. Being comfortable important to allow focus on task. The filler for new exhaust alloys since 1992 has been 304 series. So 306L filler rod works good? My exhaust is repurposed from used pipe but new take offs from exhaust shops. They sell cheap as long as you bring a tape to measure as all my project needs is 2.5” dia. Twin pipes custom made placed to maximize room to work on a frame off 67 pickup. This is my last build but will be welding rocker for son on his SS Monte. I am not worried about sugaring as no cats, just two excellent mufflers out back. I would guess a week or more using V-bands and sleeves for certain connections. That’s the thing in life, you have time, but little money. Or, step up, weld what I need in new machine, teach son, or sell local as used. Thanks kindly! ASE Master since 78.
Nice video! I was TIG welding for the first time today in class. Im a construction carpenter but my back is screwed up and I need to switch to something with more ergonomic consistency like working in a shop instead of construction sites. Did not use a filler rod though just welding 1.5 mm mild steel strips together in 45 degrees to practice before Im going to weld together this table grill project that they gave us. It was a lot of fun and extremely satisfying. Im looking forward to more of these beginner videos.
Thanks man! I appreciate you watching. I’m glad i was able to bring a bit of value. Yes, that is a great way to start - just fuse material before using rod . They call that autogeneous welding. Get used to moving the torch and running the foot pedal !
Okay, I've been welding all kinds of stuff for many years, even tig welding, and I've never counted how many times I dip the filler in the puddle. Here is why " Why would I want to spend so much time thinking hmm am I dipping this filler enough times or not ?" When I focused mainly on just getting the job finished. Stainless steel doesn't always need to look like a stack of dimes when you are finished welding it . That's why the lay wire technique is just as simple as the dipping technique. How you tig up the job is mostly all a preference, not a requirement by code. So, just keep on doing what you feel is best for you. Feel free to tig weld some soda cans together whenever you have a chance. Make sure you use some very low amps. Lower than what you amps where on welding the exhaust pipes. Other than that nice-looking welds to be fair.
Thank you sir! Yes I agree, there is always difference strategies. I like to count dips to keep your start and stops evenly spaced. I will be doing all new welding videos again this winter! Im going to dive in a bit further as the first go around I was still pretty new to the youtube game. Thanks for watching!
I picked up my TIG set up years ago but never built enough confidence to try an exhaust. Your shorts and this video gives me some motivation to try it. Love your delivery and the way you cover the material that you are teaching. Keep up the good work!
Thanks dude ! I really appreciate the words. I’m glad my videos have brought you some value- that was my aim! Keep practicing with that TIG torch.. you will surprise yourself on how fast you will get better ! Good luck with the exhaust !
Keep it up, man. These vids have helped me so far. Would be nice to see some live shots of the weld pool, but the basic information you provide is still useful.
Hey man! Thanks for watching - I’m glad they are helpful. Yes - i will certainly try and work that in soon- i am trying to get better at the filming / editing portion of UA-cam ! I’m still pretty green at all of this :)

Cool video mate! I'm doing something very similar to this , only confusing part is you say you are using "YESWELDER TIG Welding Tungsten Electrode 2% Ceriated 1/16" @2:19 But later on you say you are using " Super Missile" Rods @6:18 so it that the *Same ones*?? Also it helps a lot when content creators add links to the special types of materials or tools they are using or recommend. Beats all the guessing games and trial error us newbies go though at times, that what makes these type of videos perfect. 👍
Great instructional video with very specific info about how you like to run your setup, thanks for sharing. I'm interested in trying the Supermissle .035 filler rod but could not find it lister anywhere, if possible can you share a link to where you purchase it?
Hello- thank you, I appreciate you watching.. I’m glad you were able to get value out of it. Yes you can get the supermissle welding rod at your Airgas location . They will know what it is
Awesome video brother! I’m getting ready to start welding my .060 thick down pipe and crossover pipe on my turbo suburban build, and I think your tips will help me tremendously 🤙🏻 got a sub from me man‼️
I really appreciate your instruction! I am getting ready to weld a stainless steel 16g exhaust on my Opel Gt. Your video is very helpful in prepping me for this challenge. What would you say I’d the minimum size gas lense cup? The largest I have is a 12. Will this get the job done or do I need to make a purchase?
Hey man! Thanks for watching the video - I’m glad it’s been helpful . A 12 will be perfectly efficient . It just won’t sheild the weld quite as well- but you can still make a pretty / strong weld with a twelve . If you do more of it moving forward- i would jump up a size
I have a miller 150STH and it’s a scratch start 😒 I bought a foot pedal for it and it helps controlling the amps instead of the hand trigger, any advice on welding with my welder? I would like a high frequency one like yours but i’m trying to work With what I got thx and great content really appreciated
Hey thank you for watching my stuff . As for how to operate your welder mode , specifically.. i can’t really help there , as I’ve never welded with that machine. But all tig welding / machines .. similar rules and techniques apply. I’ve used many welders over the years . Hope you are still able to get value out of the content . Good luck building your skills!
I know companies that fuse / Autogenous weld there stuff and they seem to get away with it. It really depends what the application is for and how high the exhaust temps are going to get etc. Also it’s a question of durability and how long your hoping it lasts. I always use filler on street and race applications so I don’t have to worry about it.
So is this Super Missile tig rod the same thing as a ER-312 rod? Did a little research to find this rod and from what I'm seeing Super Missile is a brand name for Harris ER-312 stainless rod with a higher chromium content making it a great maintenance rod for harden tools, gears, etc.
Right now I’m in the process of building the hotside for a turbo kit. When I tac the stainless it tends to pull to that side causing gaps. Any tips or tricks to avoid that??
Make sure your tubing is sanded / cut very true . Where your pieces meet up it needs to be dead flat . Also , use small, cold tacks.. it doesn’t take much to hold material together . That should help with material moving around
I usally weld about three seams at a time.. allowing one to cool down for a minute or two before continuing the weld. That was material doesnt get too heated.
Yo I have a question I purchased 18g stainless pipe but the muffler I purchased is 16g . Can I weld 16g to 18g ? Or should I purchased all 18g material?
Great video man. It was like a skirt should be - short enough to be interesting but long enough to cover everything. Subscribed before you even mentioned it haha And if you have that kully co sticker for sale anywhere, I’d slap one on my hood. Lemme know!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have a question, why don't you use a face mask to protect your lungs? I TIG weld once and the argon gave me headache and lung pain. What Is your advise about this? Thank you
You are welcome, I appreciate you watching! Lung damage... that is the million-dollar question amongst welders :) I can't comment on this too heavily- I have welded for a long time without a mask- I hope someday it doesn't catch up to me in a bad way!
I got nothing out of this video. If you showed what you were doing close up during the process of what the tip and filler metal are doing during the weld try again

What are your thoughts on fusion welding aka no filler if fit up is spot on?

It certainly could be! I have always called in supermissile with my suppliers- I've also heard guys use the term tensilweld for this specific rod.
Also ss er309-L is the same as super missile
Right now I’m in the process of building the hotside for a turbo kit. When I tac the stainless it tends to pull to that side causing gaps. Any tips or tricks to avoid that??
Make sure your tubing is sanded / cut very true . Where your pieces meet up it needs to be dead flat . Also , use small, cold tacks.. it doesn’t take much to hold material together . That should help with material moving around
didnt expect Jared Leto to teach me how to TIG weld
haha yep! hes a skilled welder :) nobody knew!
How long do you like to pause after welding to either go to another spot or keep welding the same bead
I usally weld about three seams at a time.. allowing one to cool down for a minute or two before continuing the weld. That was material doesnt get too heated.
What tig welder would you recommend somebody newly getting into the hobby.mainly looking to fab an exhaust for my bimmer
