V-band rings welded..
Hi all,
I'm in the process of making my car's exhaust system using v-bands.
Has anyone ever tired welding a v-band ring onto a cast iorn exhaust turbine housing? reason i'm asking is that an .82 A/R exhaust housing already made with a v-band connector is bloody expensive so i want to try and convert mine with a v-band flange.
What kind of welding wire/rod's needed?
Any info greatly appriciated!

hi
you want to tig it ,but preheat the housing then you use a stainless rod that is compatable with the housing aswel

Hi Rich,
Yeah there are adaptors available but only for 4 hole housings.
I've got an expensive gas flowed mountune housing on my BB T4 with the normal cossy cone end so i'm gonna try welding the ring on that.
