Hi
Ken,
The couple
exhausts that I've welded were tacked on the outside, and welded on the
inside, though I've never seen a commercial system done that way. My
primary reason for welding the inside is that it's a MUCH easier weld
for me to make, and if it's ugly, no one will see it :-) The downside is
that everyone looks at the tacks on the outside, and says "You forgot to
finish welding this." :-)
