    Yowzers. I knew I should have been afraid to ask. I think I'll wait untill mine actually does fail.

    Does inconel weld to stainless just fine?

    Inconel is a type of stainless that has a very high nickel content to withstand the extreme temps.Stainless has similar alloys in the mix but in different ratios.They do weld nicely.These were also laser welded so it shouldnt be a problem.

    saw parts of this kit today when I was down picking up my car.

    Looks great, and ron has a lot of really nice rides around his shop for those who have never made the trip to RS motors. My second time doing business with them, and they really know their stuff.

    I had a hunch. Those welds are just too clean looking. I can only strive to lay down beads like that. Maybe in ten years...
