Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

He's just using flame to make the heat to melt the metal rather than an electric arc to melt the metal.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i'm thinking of doing the MK1 mod to my 3.4L cans. looking at the photos of others who have done it, my father in law (experienced machinist, etc.) thinks he could braise weld the pipes rather than tig weld them. anyone try it that way? what do the experienced welders think?

POST 2Original post

Sounds like you should listen to your father in law....LOL

POST 3Original post

If he's good at it, it should work fine. He's just using flame to make the heat to melt the metal rather than an electric arc to melt the metal. The advantages of TIG are: a) more concentrated heat for a smaller heat effected area (really only matters for heat treated metals or assemblies that have melt-able or flammable components); and b) the shielding gas of TIG decreases impurities and oxidation in the weld - which will make the weld slightly stronger.

POST 4Original post

I MIG'd. Used mild steel, it will weld to SS.

POST 5Original post

Give FisterD a PM...he's a master welder and has done a bunch of these mods....including mine for my 99C2 and a bunch of 993's and 996's. He uses different sizes of stainless and can do the J mod as well as the MKI and MKII mods. I believe he MIG'd also.

POST 6Original post

Brazing will work fine, it looks ugly compared to TIG welds.
