Yeah I agree. I never said a mig won't work. As with any welding, its about the quality. If you prep it right and mig the parts correctly they can work. It's just my opinion that if your spending all the time/money on fabing headers you may as well tig and back purge them.

I'm not good enough to make art, but i can make function. My mig'd parts on my car seem to be getting me down the track ok. I will apply the same technology to my truck.

finishing up this thread. long story short i had the ball dropped on my by the oil pan and motor mount provider for the project, and pawned off all the sweet gear i got for CAMN Rx-7's newest project car.

the TY is out and running around again with a refreshed version of the v6 and turbo stuff. drove it to work today. I also ditched the 18's for some light 15"s and dr's on all 4

if the dyno was AWD i would bring it along with the T/A sat. night.
