Hi,
Looking to buy some NCR titanium cans, but will need to have my stainless link pipes welded to them.

Doe anyone know if this is possible?

Having said that, maybe the inlets and outlets are stainlees anyway?

Thanks

why are you welding it instead of using the slip in/spring method?

They are fitted with link pipes that are the wrong size. I have a custom spaghetti system fitted.

why not weld a slightly larger stainless pipe on your system to slip the Ti pipe into and clamp it. would make any future removal easier.

Weld+Titanium = hard.  From what I understand it's not for you shade tree fabricator as it requires on of the inert gas set ups with some extra widgets. Obviously I'm no welding expert though
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

+1 on above.

You CAN do it with a large gas lens cup and a make shift inert chamber that surrounds the part you need to weld if you have to.

Last time I welded Ti I had to cut strips of Ti sheet for my welding rods....the stuff I bought from burns ddin't work worth a darn.

You need to make an adaptor so it will slip on, and you can modify your stainless pipes much easier.....so go that route.
