I don't think they polish the cheaper stainless. No point because it slowly tarnishes. When i was welding my stainless headers for the big block in my 80 Silverado project i noticed it was a little harder to weld. I was using stainless wire but it wanted to fight me. A tig would be ideal.
@rockymtnredneck4888 3 ай бұрын
Exactly. I noticed the old 304 could be cleaned up real easy with a wire brush. They places it corrodes is where it was welded an where it was bent. From what I read, it has less chromium than 409. I was using the standard MIG wire I use on everything I do. Had a small roll of .025 wire left over from the body work. Honestly, it was easier with the normal .030 wire once that ran out. I’d blow through the pipe when not careful, but the higher heat somehow helped. I did have several pin holes to plug after first fire up, too. Cold temps helped find them. Again, I’m wondering how long it’ll hold together.

@rockymtnredneck4888 3 ай бұрын
That’s my whole concern. There are the sensors right after the manifold. Then the sensors after the cats, right. The x pipe is supposed to be as close to the manifold as possible from what I’ve read. I’m wondering how much it matters since it’s not a true X pipe. It’s basically a double Y. The computer doesn’t seem to care right now. What I’m more worried about is the welds on the 409 stainless. Will they hold up? Supposed to weld that with TIG and specific rods. Leaves me wondering if I’ll be back with 304 pieces to redo it all.

@@rockymtnredneck4888 I get confused with what stainless is the better one. The 409 is the cheaper stuff. I used that on Dad's Camaro and my 70 Chevy truck. You can weld 409 with regular wire no problem. I have done that. The 304 is the better stainless. That is what you find polished. That is what the headers on my 80 Chevy truck are. I am not as confident that you can weld 304 with steel wire. As far as the O2 sensors if those are after the cats they aren't very important from what I have found. They won't effect how the motor runs. It's just so the computer can see what is happening. The important sensors are before the cats.
@rockymtnredneck4888 3 ай бұрын
@@mossman381 dude, I get confused on it all, too. 409 is the high chromium content, polished. 304 is low chromium hardly ever polished. I had to go look it up after the first day I was trying to weld it. Some were saying the 304 barely counts as stainless. Additionally, I relooked at my order and I did in fact order those kits in 409, when I meant to order them in 304. Everything else was 304. This also tells you how long ago I bought all the parts. They sat for a while waiting for me to get the time to work on them.
