this comment is 3 years late as I just saw the video today but now it makes sense why there was no purge if you slip fit. I connected the dots. watched an old F1 exhaust fabrication video from 2010 (was from Renault) and the fabricator welded autogenously. F1 uses slip fits as well if you look at how the primaries connect to each other.

These videos are incredible. I'm a carpenter by trade so I understand how you developed your shapes to measure and cut. You are very neat in your work. I hope you pass your skills on to an apprentice. Im enjoying your videos.

Thanks heaps for sharing your inspirational work with the world. I just purchased a nice tig welder and your videos really get my juices flowing.

Great to hear!

Some people has it some doesn't. You got it brother

Why didnt he back purge the welds?

[@Mopar_Taxi_Guy]

No need for filler material to weld these together?

[@TrickTools]

With this thin, high-quality stainless and a no-gap fit-up you can fuse it while achieving full penetration and no under cut.

Could you post a parts list of what you used?

shoot me an email [e-mail] and I'll get you a list

Looks good but why no purge?

[@TrickTools]

Thanks, purging isn't required to weld stainless. With proper heat settings and no gap fitment, full penetration can be achieved on this thin material without excess "sugaring" on the inside. I have built and welded out well over 2 dozen sets of headers and many exhaust systems this way and have yet to have one crack or fail in any way. Brycen Smith [e-mail]

@@TrickTools I would like to give it a try. I’ve always purged stainless unless it’s a slip/lap fit up. Would you mind posting the stainless series, material thickness, and machine settings? Thanks!

[@TrickTools]

I've purged before, I'm not against it at all but in my experience its not always necessary either. this specific set was 304 18 gauge. I run the heat pretty low to start, set at 40 but I always use my foot for the amperage I want so it fluctuates.
